Abstract: In a proxy device, an acquiring unit acquires one of outputting-device-identification data and instruction-device-identification data from a storing unit. The storing unit stores the outputting-device-identification data associated with the instruction-device-identification data. A first determining unit determines whether the acquired outputting-device-identification data is associated with the received instruction-device-identification data. A first transmitting unit transmits the received instruction data to the particular outputting device. A second receiving unit receives response data from the outputting device. A second transmitting unit transmits the received response data to the instruction device from which the received instruction data is transmitted. A third receiving unit receives specific data that is transmitted from the instruction device. The specific data is one of output data based on which the outputting device outputs an image and location data indicating a location of the output data.

Abstract: A method of integrating a radial zoom effect with a complementary radial image transition effect includes integrating the effects such that the two blended radial effects share a common center, and thereby share common displacement paths during the perceived transition. In addition to the visual appeal of the effect, the invention also resolves operational incompatibilities between the practice of commercial photography and the practice of lenticular printing. A lenticular product is formed in accordance with this method.

Abstract: A print data generating device includes an image orientation selecting portion and a print data generating portion. The image orientation selecting portion may select one image orientation of an image to be printed from several image orientations by using partial image data. The print data generating portion may generate print data for printing the image according to the one image orientation. Each image orientation may be with respect to a conveying direction. Each partial image data may correspond to a respective image orientation, a respective partial image, and a respective portion of the image to be printed. Each partial image may be printed in an area defined by a particular distance determined from a corresponding edge of the printing medium. The particular distance may be based on a distance between a location of a downstream roller and a location of a most-upstream nozzle for a printer in the conveying direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus stores setting information received from an external device in a temporary region, and compares device identification information acquired from the setting information with device identification information of the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus determines a reflection level used to reflect each setting included in the setting information stored in the temporary region, and stores the setting information in a database. Further, the image forming apparatus extracts a setting compliant with the reflection level and a reflection policy, using a plurality of import modules, and stores the extracted setting in a database that is actually used for control performed by the image forming apparatus.
