Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acceptor, a signaling unit, an output unit, and a restrictor. The acceptor accepts an instruction request or an output request transmitted from a first terminal apparatus, the instruction request being used to instruct the information processing apparatus to perform a signaling operation, the output request being used to request the information processing apparatus to output information about an operation screen of the information processing apparatus. The signaling unit makes the signaling operation be performed in the information processing apparatus if the instruction request is accepted. The output unit outputs the information about the operation screen of the information processing apparatus to the first terminal apparatus if the output request is accepted.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit that obtains positional information regarding a worker who maintains an operation apparatus that performs a process requested by a user and a search unit that searches for, among plural operation apparatuses, an operation apparatus provided at a position a predetermined distance or more away from a position indicated by the positional information obtained by the obtaining unit as an operation apparatus to perform the process requested by the user.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an attachment unit, an image processing unit, a storage unit, a discrimination unit and a control unit. A memory unit storing at least one piece of information is detachably attached to the attachment unit. The image processing unit performs image processing. The storage unit stores the information stored in the memory unit through the attachment unit or stores a result of processing executed by the image processing unit. The discrimination unit discriminates processing information inputted externally for instructing the image processing unit to execute processing. The control unit controls a process of transferring the information stored in the memory unit or the result of processing executed by the image processing unit and stored in the storage unit in accordance with a result of discrimination executed by the discrimination unit.

Abstract: An image forming system including an image reading apparatus and a printing apparatus connected to the image reading apparatus through a communication line, in which the image reading apparatus includes a font information acquiring unit which acquires font information indicating a type of a font installed on the printing apparatus, a print data generating unit which generates desired print data by using the font information acquired from the font information acquiring unit, and a print data transmitting unit which transmits the print data generated by the print data generating unit to the printing apparatus, and in which the printing apparatus prints out the desired print data on the basis of the print data transmitted from the print data transmitting unit.

Abstract: In print instruction apparatus for giving printing apparatus an instruction as to print conditions required for printing print data, a “Print Instruction” folder 61 having folders of respective items of the print conditions below the “Print Instruction” folder, a “Print Status” folder for confirming the print status, and the print data are displayed on a screen of a display portion of the print instruction apparatus. The “Print Status” folder has a “Finished Print Job” folder, an “Ongoing Print Job” folder and a “Reserved Print Job” folder. When print data is moved or copied to any one of these folders, processing is executed in accordance with the contents of the folder to which the print data is moved or copied, while the respective statuses of ongoing print jobs, reserved print jobs and finished print jobs are displayed.

Abstract: Choices relating to printing conditions which can be designated at a printing device are displayed on a display section of a host device. The choices are displayed as folders. Folder groups, in which printing conditions relating to sheet size, number of sets, double-sided/single-sided printing, N-UP printing, and absence/presence of sorting are set as names of folders, are displayed successively and hierarchically. Here, by selecting designations until a folder of a lowest hierarchy and by manipulating a file of print data into the folder, printing conditions at a time of printing the print data are designated and are transmitted to the printing device.

Abstract: An image forming device and method enable editing of printing data while a printing sequence of the printing data transmitted to an image forming device is maintained. The printing data transmitted to the image forming device from an information processor is stored in a memory of the image forming device. For the editing of the printing data, the printing data stored in the memory of the image forming device is edited and is then provided as the printed output using the information processor without deletion of the printing data stored in the image forming device.
