Abstract: A printing service providing apparatus includes a display controller that performs control to display a setting screen on a printing device that a user uses for printing. The setting screen enables the user to select (i) a basic function that is commonly provided to printing devices compatible with a printing service that uses cloud computing and (ii) an application function which is other than the basic function and which is provided by the printing device that the user uses for printing among the printing devices compatible with the printing service which uses the cloud computing. The apparatus also includes a transmitting unit that transmits a print target file to the printing device that the user uses for printing, when a print attribute indicating contents of a print instruction is set from the setting screen.

Abstract: A print system includes a print device and a kiosk device. The kiosk device includes a display device, and a processor. The processor is configured to launch a first application that causes the display device to output a user interface to a remote service from which a user may obtain a document to print via the print device. The user interface includes user interaction fields that, when actuated, will initiate actions that are unrelated to operation of the print device. The processor is further configured to launch a second application that causes the display device to generate and output a graphical overlay that is at least in part displayed over one or more of the user interaction fields to prevent the user from actuating the user interaction fields while presenting a user interaction field that permits the user to cause the print device to print a document.

The first control unit determines which one of the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication to adopt as a wireless communication that is to be used for communication, on the basis of the state of the battery detected by the battery's state detection unit.

Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a function-screen processing unit and a customization-screen processing unit. The function-screen processing unit arranges setting-item elements in order, the setting-item elements corresponding to respective setting items to be displayed, the setting items being a portion of a group of setting items corresponding to a function provided to a user, and performs processing for presenting, to the user, a function screen on which a customization element for receiving a request for a customization operation is arranged after the arranged group of setting-item elements. The customization-screen processing unit performs, in a case where the user has performed an operation to request the customization operation on the customization element, processing for presenting, to the user, a customization screen through which, for each setting item in the group of setting items, specification of whether the setting item is to be displayed is received.

Abstract: A printhead assembly includes ink ejection devices having nozzles, and processing electronics in communication with the ink ejection devices. The processing electronics implement logic to receive nozzle data for controlling the ink ejection devices, receive error detection data associated with the nozzle data, detect errors associated with the nozzle data using the error detection data, and generate fault data for the detected errors.

Abstract: A remote override system may comprise a remote device and a local device. The remote device may include a remote device computer having a remote device processor and a remote device communication interface, and an outgoing override signal handler capable of sending an override signal by way of the remote device communication interface. The local device may include a local device computer having a local device processor and a local device communication interface, and an incoming override signal handler capable of receiving the override signal by way of the local device communication interface. The override signal may be capable of causing override of a power saving mode at the local device.

Abstract: An information processing device communicating with a first terminal device through either a wired or wireless network comprises a communication part that transmits a self-address of itself as a management server address to the first terminal device, the self-address being a unique code to identify the information processing device in the network, and receives a first information processing request, which is to cause the information processing device to perform an image processing, and a request destination information, which indicates a request destination of the first information processing request, both of the requests being transmitted from the first terminal device, and a processing part that performs the information processing based on the first information processing request regardless of the request destination indicated by the request destination information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which performs an adjustment operation at appropriate timing. Whether to execute a first or a second adjustment processes is controlled based on the number of sheets on which images are formed. A first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a first number since a previous first adjustment process was executed. A second adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached a second number since a previous second adjustment process was executed. The first adjustment operation is executed in a case where the number of sheets has reached the first number prior to a designated time by a predetermined period. The second adjustment operation is skipped in a case where the number of sheets has reached the second number prior to the designated time by the predetermined period.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an identification unit, a transfer requesting unit, an acquisition unit, and an execution unit. The identification unit identifies one of pieces of information regarding applications executable by the image processing apparatus and acquired through a web browser of the image processing apparatus. The identification unit identifies the piece of information regarding one of the applications that is selected by an operator. The transfer requesting unit requests an external apparatus to transfer the application in accordance with the identified piece of information. The acquisition unit acquires, from the external apparatus through the web browser, to-be-executed application information that is to be used when the application requested to be transferred is installed on the image processing apparatus.
