Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation panel serving as a display apparatus and an input apparatus for accepting a request for performing processing and a control unit for controlling display on the operation panel. The control unit performs determination processing for determining whether a time period required for the processing requested to be performed is predictable or not, provides animation display by continuously displaying two or more windows relating to the processing when it is determined that the time period required for the processing is predictable, and provides pop-up display by displaying one window relating to the processing when it is determined that the time period required for the processing is not predictable.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a display; a customization portion; a mode setting portion; and a controller that forcibly changes a value set for a first operation mode to a first parameter, still keeps the first parameter after cancellation of the second operation mode, and changes the first parameter according to a user operation, if a second operation mode is employed by the mode setting portion while an operation key for setting a value for the first operation mode is not hidden by the customization portion, meanwhile changes the value set for the first operation mode to a second parameter and changes the second parameter to a third parameter after cancellation of the second operation mode, if the second operation mode is employed by the mode setting portion while an operation key for setting a value for the first operation mode is hidden by the customization portion.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises: a display that displays a first screen including one or more than one first key for setting a mode to execute a function of the apparatus, and then, if one of the first keys is pressed, displays a second screen including one or more than one second key, which is a lower-class screen under the pressed first key; and a customizing portion that hides at least one of the first and the second keys on the first screen, according to a user operation, and wherein if a user changes to non-display, the setting of at least one of the first keys on the first screen, while there exists a second key preliminarily prohibited from being hidden, on the second screen that is a lower-class screen under the first key to be hidden according to the changed setting, the customizing portion doesn't hide the first key.

Abstract: In a print system including a server holding an application program connected to a network. In a client computer, when a print request for data obtained by the application program is received, client information and a request to make print data for the data are requested to the server. In the server, print data are made according to print control information according to the received client information, the print data is sent.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprising: a display; a controller that displays or hides a function button for use of a function on a display screen on the display according to one or more than one pattern information object indicating the setting whether to display or hide the function button on the display screen; a firmware updater that updates firmware; and a comparator that compares the old and new firmware in terms of the functions installed thereon, and wherein, if the comparison result drawn by the comparator indicates that a new function is added due to the firmware update, the controller displays or hides a first function button for use of the new function according to pattern information for a second function button for use of a function on a higher layer than the new function or pattern information for a group including the second function button.

Abstract: In a print system, an application server holds an application program. A client computer uses the application program, and data obtained by the application program is printed by a printer. The server acquires a printer driver according to the client information. The application program obtains print data by using the printer driver and sends the print data to the client computer or the printer. Thus, the application program automatically changes the printer driver according to the client information or user.
