Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to a printing apparatus via a network encrypts print data if identification information is input, and does not encrypt print data if identification information is not input. If identification information is input and the print data has been encrypted, the information processing apparatus sends a print job including the encrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network; otherwise, the information processing apparatus sends unencrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network.

Abstract: A resist pattern forming method using a coating and developing apparatus and an aligner being connected thereto which are controlled to form a resist film on a surface of a substrate with a base film and a base pattern formed thereon, followed by inspecting at least one of a plurality of measurement items selected from: reflection ratio and film thickness of the base film and the resist film, line width after a development, an accuracy that the base pattern matches with a resist pattern, a defect on the surface after the development, etc. A parameter subject to amendment is selected based on corresponding data of each measurement item, such as the film thickness of the resist and the line width after the development, and amendment of the parameter is performed. This results in a reduced workload of an operator, and the appropriate amendment can be performed.

Abstract: A process system includes a plurality of processing modules each processing a substrate with a process liquid. There is disposed a dispensing mechanism that dispenses the process liquid to the vertically arranged modules. The dispensing mechanism is provided with a process liquid supply source, and pumps corresponding to the respective processing modules. Each pump temporarily stores therein the process liquid which has been pressure-fed through a riser piping from the process liquid supply source by a pressing apparatus, and delivers the process liquid from an outlet. There are disposed nozzles each having a discharge port and discharging the process liquid to the corresponding processing module. Delivery pipings connecting the outlets of the pumps with the discharge ports of the corresponding nozzles have identical length to each other.

Abstract: A information processing apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit data to the outside based on a set transmission address, a reception-unit configured to receive address data for setting the transmission address from an information terminal via a communication medium, and a display unit configured to display, when the address data received by the reception unit contains a plurality of addresses, a selection screen for prompting a user to select an address to be set as the transmission address among the plurality of addresses according to reception of the address data, and a setting unit configured to set, when a number of addresses contained in the address data received by the reception unit is one, the address as the transmission address without displaying the selection screen.

Abstract: A client server system which enables the user of a client computer to obtain the optimum printing result only by designating desired print settings, and to perform printing according to common print settings even if printers are modified or a new printer is added on a network. A favorite display module displays a print setting designating screen relating a printer. A data sending and receiving module transmits the print settings designated on the print setting designating screen by a user and an ID of a client computer to a server. A data sending and receiving module receives a printer driver adapted to the printer and print setting information from the server. A favorite setting changing module changes print settings of the printer driver according to the print setting information sent from the server. A favorite setting completion display module indicates that the changing of the print settings has been completed.

Abstract: When a user logs in and inputs document data into a box, a usage history of the box as used by the user is determined by referring to a user information management table. If there is a record, process attributes are set, and a process associated with the box is executed. If there is no record, a message indicating that there is no record is displayed. If execution is selected in response to this display, the process is executed. Once the process has ended, the usage record of the box as used by the user is updated to “used”.
