Abstract: When a general-use printing program implemented in an OS of an information processing apparatus receives a print instruction, a supporting program implemented in a PC determines, based on a print parameter or image data indicating at least one image subjected to be printed, whether a distribution condition is satisfied. The distribution condition is a condition to execute distributed printing of the image data using a plurality of printers. When it is determined that the distribution condition is satisfied, the supporting program transmits a part of a total printing amount of a print job to a printer through a first port which is used by a general-use printing program and transmits a remaining part of the total amount of the print job to another printer through a second port.

Abstract: A system and method for maintaining and optimizing a fleet of multifunction peripherals is operated by use of a smartphone. The smartphone provides recommendations to configure multifunction peripherals or other equipment fleets to avoid service calls. The smartphone is configured to allow a user to review device status for a fleet of multifunction peripherals so that the user knows which multifunction peripherals will need attention. The system provides the user with alerts of issues, with predictions before issues occur, and with a prescription for what to do so that the user can resolve the issue themselves. The system further provides recommendations based on needs, usage, and other customer usage or purchase data to allow the user to review multifunction peripherals, purchase services, install options and configure devices in the fleet for optimization.

Abstract: An original image is read as an aggregate of a plurality of pixels in which adjacent pixels have different colors (R, G, and B) in a main scanning direction and in a sub-scanning direction, and the read pixels of the respective colors are stored in a line memory in association with information on relative positions of the pixels with respect to another pixel. Then, the stored pixels are sorted so that pixels having the same color are adjacent to each other, and an abnormal pixel (dust) not present in the original image is detected based on the state of the sorted pixels. With this, the dust not present in the original image is detected without increasing the cost, and the dust is corrected without forming a conspicuous trace of correction.
