Abstract: An image input and output system is provided in which a common operation screen for a plurality of image output devices having different attributes is displayed. Based on attribute information of each of printers, the server generates a signal for generating an operation screen, and transmits the signal to the scanner. At the scanner, image data is inputted, and a common operation screen, which is generated based on the signal for generating the operation screen, is displayed on a display panel. When information designating the printer and information relating to an output format of an image is inputted from the display panel, the inputted information and the image data are transmitted to the server. The server transmits, to a designated printer, the image data and the information relating to the output format of the image, which are transmitted from the scanner, and images are outputted.

Abstract: A printing system configured by connecting, over a network, a client terminal for making a printing request using a printer driver, a terminal for making a server-dedicated print request, a server which receives the printing requests from the client terminal and the terminal and instructs printers that corresponds to the printing requests to perform printing, and multiple printers which perform printing in accordance with the printing instruction from the server, the server having a logical printer in which physical printers of output destinations are previously registered and various printing instruction information are set, and supports printing functions for performing printing in accordance with a print instruction set in a logical printer specified by a user, in which the server comprises: an examination unit which, when the server receives the printing request, checks whether or not the received printing request is specified by the printer driver of the client terminal; a recognition unit which, if the

Abstract: A print management apparatus includes a print command unit that transmits print command data and prints a print image onto a paper sheet on the basis of print data, an acquisition unit that acquires generated scan data from a scan of the paper sheet printed with the print image, a setting unit that sets a part of the print image as an inspection area on the basis of the print data, and an inspection unit that inspects for printing discrepancies by comparing the scan data and the print data in the set inspection area.

Abstract: There is provided an image-processing control device including: a coordinate acquisition unit that acquires coordinate information with respect to an original electronic document as a printing source of a hard copy from a scanned electronic document created by scanning the hard copy; a policy acquisition unit that acquires security policy information that specifies whether or not processing of the original electronic document on the basis of the coordinate information is allowed; and a process controller that controls electronic processing utilizing the original electronic document to be performed on the hard copy on the basis of the acquired security policy information.

Abstract: There is provided an electronic document creating device that creates a new electronic document. The electronic document creating device includes an obtaining unit, an assigning unit, and a prevention processing unit. The obtaining unit obtains an electronic form containing one or a plurality of variable fields, to each of which a value is to be assigned, and further containing permission information specifying user operation permission with respect to a value to be assigned to each of the variable fields. The assigning unit assigns a value to each of the variable fields in the electronic form. The prevention processing unit performs processing to prevent operation by a user who has no permission, based on the permission information, with respect to the value assigned to each of the variable fields.

Abstract: Efficient and optimum printing is enabled using multiple, different models of printers. When a scanner receives a multiple simultaneous output instruction from the operator, the instruction of multiple simultaneous output, printing instruction information specified by the operator (such as the number of prints, duplex printing and stapling) and multiple pieces of image data produced according to multiple models of printers are transmitted to a printing management server. When the printing management server receives the multiple simultaneous output instruction, the printing instruction information and the multiple pieces of image data, the server stores and manages the printing instruction information and the multiple pieces of image data in association with each other. Image data corresponding to a desired printer is transmitted based on the stored and managed data.
