A processing step executes a process of printing the plurality of areas displayed on the display unit and the print information facing the predetermined direction, on the print medium to be processed by folding and/or cutting off the predetermined direction.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a content processing program. A computer executes steps including a first determination step, a first update step, a charging step, and a second update step. In the first determination step, it is determined whether or not an output voltage is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In the first update step, an update process of the content of which the update instruction is received is executed in the case that the output voltage is determined as being equal to or greater than the threshold value. In the charging step, a battery is charged until the output voltage becomes equal to or greater than the threshold value in the case that the output voltage is determined as being less than the threshold value.

Abstract: To make it possible to appropriately reproduce a desired color in a case where it is desired to change hue of a specific area on a reproduced image obtained by projecting a projection image onto printed matter in an overlapping manner. In an image processing apparatus, a print image for outputting printed matter by a printer onto which a moving image in which color of an object changes in a time series is projected in an overlapping manner is generated. The image processing apparatus acquires an image at least including the object whose color changes. Then, the image processing apparatus generates the print image by performing saturation reduction processing for an area of the object whose color changes in the acquired image.

Abstract: A system and method provide redirection of print jobs from a first printer to a second printer. Aspects of the embodiments may automatically detect when a user is approaching a selected printer and if the print job is not finished, send the remainder of the print job to a second printer on the way to the user's destination. In some embodiments, the user may deviate from an intended route and the system may detect that another printer is more readily available to the user along the deviated route and may redirect the print job to the other printer. The user may pick up portions of the print job at one printer and without having to stop may continue on his or her route picking up other portions of the print job at other printers along the way.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system for facilitating device discovery. During operation, the system detects, by a computing device, a first message which is broadcast from a source device based on a network communication protocol. The system determines a classification which is a type for the source device based on a MAC address of the source device extracted from the first message. The system generates a second message which indicates the MAC address, an IP address of the source device obtained based on the first message, and the classification. The system sends the second message to a device management system, which causes the device management system to add the source device as a managed device. The system enhances device discovery by eliminating a direct scan of all devices on a sub-network by the device management system for devices of a same type as the type for the source device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for interrupting a print job in progress to immediately print a higher priority job utilizes an interpreter installed on an external hardware device to pre-process the higher priority job. When a high priority job is present, the external interpreter may convert page description language (PDL) data from the high priority job to raster data. Processing time needed to begin the high priority job is reduced and wait time to resume the interrupted job is minimized.
