Abstract: A display screen generation apparatus includes: an acquisition portion acquiring for each of a plurality of print products produced through a plurality of processes, progress of the processes; and a display portion generating a display screen that displays for each of the plurality of print products, the process waiting to be executed, the process being executed, the process already executed, and the process not intended to be executed in a distinguishable manner from each other.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a first acquisition portion acquiring progress of a plurality of processes for print product produced through the processes based on information transmitted from a printer; a second acquisition portion acquiring the progress in response to an operation of a user to proceed with the production; and a display portion displaying in a distinguishable manner on a display, an automatic transition process and a manual transition process included in the processes, the automatic transition process automatically transitioning to the subsequent process based on the information transmitted from the printer and a manual transition process manually transitioning to the subsequent process in response to the operation.

Abstract: A printing file management system includes a storage unit configured to cause a recording medium to store a printing file and a processing unit configured to set a storage period for the printing file based on a combination of a security level and repeat printing setting associated with the printing file stored in the recording medium and automatically delete the printing file when the storage period expires.

Abstract: Conditions corresponding to the type of print medium can be easily acquired when executing a printing process. A first area stores first information related to a print medium for each type of print medium. A second area stores second information, which is related to conditions used in a printing process generating print data and causing a printing mechanism to print on a print medium an image defined by the print data, relationally to first information corresponding to the type of print medium to be printed on in the printing process.

Abstract: There is provided a print management apparatus including a display that displays a setting screen relating to a print apparatus to be managed including a first display field capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of medium print information including setting information necessary for printing corresponding to print media for each of print media and a second display field capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of medium print information selected from the plurality of pieces of medium print information displayed in the first display field, a first memory that stores the medium print information for each of print media displayed in the first display field, a second memory that stores the selected medium print information displayed in the second display field in association with the print apparatus.
