Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a printer driver includes a display part that displays on a screen a first image, a second image, a first setting item that relates to the first image and a second setting item that relates to the second image, a control part that determines one of the first and second images as a main image and the other of them as a sub image, displays both of the main and sub images on the screen, and receives a selection made by a user of the apparatus, and a display switching part that displays the first image as the main image relating to the first setting item when the first setting item is selected by the user, and the second image as the sub image.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus including a reading unit that reads information from a recording medium on which information on a situation grasping device is written, an acquiring unit that acquires specific information for specifying the situation grasping device from the information read by the reading unit, and a setting unit that sets association with the situation grasping device using the specific information acquired by the acquiring unit.

Abstract: A network device communicates with a management server that manages a shared setting value and an individual setting value as a master data. The network device includes a first receiving unit configured to receive a first instruction associated with an input from a user for the shared setting value; a second receiving unit configured to receive a second instruction indicating an initialization processing; a first requesting unit configured to make a request to the management server in accordance with the first instruction; a second requesting unit configured to request for the management server in accordance with the second instruction; an executing unit configured to execute the initialization processing in accordance with the second instruction; a query unit configured to perform a query for the management server; and a modifying and reflecting unit configured to modify and reflect the shared setting value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for on-demand publication of religious works include receiving user selections for exterior customization options, interior customization options, and a prompt to add user-added or user-created content. The disclosed systems and methods compiled customized religious works and optionally print some portion of a hard copy of the religious work on a thin paper that is 28-50 grams per square meter or less. In some examples, the printing process includes light-fusion printing processes, and/or an electronic copy format of the customized religious works created. The example printing process can print single volume or low volumes of hard copies of customized religious works using the light-fusion printing processes.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes: a first size-detecting portion which detects a size of an original disposed on a disposing portion; a conveying portion which conveys the original disposed on the disposing portion to a reading portion, a second size-detecting portion which detects the size of the original to be conveyed by the conveying portion; a controller which calculates an overlap region between a reading region and an original region, with the reading region determined based on a reading size obtained by a obtain portion and the detection of the first size-detecting portion, and the original region determined by the second size-detecting portion; and a notifying portion which makes a predetermined notification based on the information that has been calculated.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for executing a plurality of applications associated with specific functions to perform image processing includes a first registration unit that, when executing any one of the plurality of applications, automatically registers first setting data set for the application in a storage unit in association with the application, a second registration unit that, according to a registration instruction from a user, registers second setting data set for any one of the plurality of applications in association with the application, and a display control unit that displays a calling-up and setting screen including a first button group for calling up the first setting data automatically registered in the storage unit and a second button group for calling up the second setting data registered in the storage unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a graphics device interface application configured to issue graphics device interface drawing commands in accordance with a print instruction, a conversion module configured to convert the graphics device interface drawing commands to extensible markup language paper specification drawing commands, and a printer driver configured to generate print data of a document file corresponding to the print instruction by using the extensible markup language paper specification drawing commands as an input. In the information processing apparatus, when converting drawing commands for a pattern drawing included in the document file from a graphics device Interface format to an extensible markup language paper specification format, the conversion module sets a pattern resolution of the pattern drawing on the basis of external information.

Abstract: An output system includes a user terminal including a first processor; an information processing system including one or more second processors; and one or more output apparatuses each including a third processor, wherein the first processor is configured to receive an output request from a user, an output request designating an output target data and an output destination selected from among the one or more output apparatuses, and send, in response to receiving the output request, the output target data to the information processing system and an acquisition request of outputting to the designated output apparatus and wherein the third processor is configured to execute, in response to receiving the acquisition request from the user terminal, an acquisition process to acquire the designated output target data from the information processing system.
