Abstract: An apparatus includes a setting unit and a control unit. The setting unit performs a first print setting indicating a poster printing function that divides a single piece of image data into a plurality of pieces of image data and generates print jobs, and a second print setting indicating a correction function for correcting calculated gray values when an image processing apparatus converts a plurality of pieces of color image data to grayscale, based on a number of colors acquired from each of the plurality of pieces of color image data. The control unit restricts the setting unit from performing the first print setting and the second print setting. In a state where one of the first print setting and the second print setting is performed by the setting unit, the control unit controls the setting unit not to perform the other print setting.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first setting unit and a display control unit. The first setting unit sets a screen reader function to enabled or disabled based on a user instruction. The display control unit performs control to display, after an application installed in the information processing apparatus is started up, a screen regarding a specific function on a display unit where an operation for using the specific function of the application has been received. The display control unit performs control to display a first screen on the display unit as the screen regarding the specific function when the screen reader function is set to disabled, and displays, as the screen, a second screen having a display configuration different from the first screen and including predetermined information as information useful for a visually impaired person regarding the specific function when the screen reader function is set to enabled.

Abstract: A client terminal checks whether there is information indicating that forming is impracticable with reference to content of data for a forming apparatus to form a 3-dimensional object and acquires a feature amount and forming setting related to 3-dimensional forming of the data if it is determined that there is no information indicating that the forming is impracticable. The client terminal transmits the acquired feature amount and forming setting to a server and supplies information regarding forming evaluation which is based on the feature amount and the forming setting and is acquired from the server.

Abstract: A relay apparatus is connected to a forming apparatus that forms a three-dimensional object, and receives a forming request for the forming apparatus from a client terminal. The relay apparatus receives model data corresponding to a three-dimensional object to be formed from the client terminal, receives a simple forming request for designating forming content without directly using specific setting values supported by the forming apparatus from the client terminal, converts the simple forming request into specific setting values using a database, and transmits the model data and the converted specific setting values to the forming apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object.

Abstract: A print relay server relays print data generated by a print server to an image forming device. The print relay server includes a relay virtual printer that instructs the corresponding image forming device to print out print data and a functional relay virtual printer that has a function for realizing a specified print service not provided by the print server. The functional relay virtual printer acquires print data from the print server which has generated print data in response to a print request from a client, and instructs an image forming device, which executes a process for realizing the specified print service, to print out print data via the relay virtual printer.
