Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive a print instruction to print an image rasterized by another information processing apparatus; associate the print instruction with any one of plural ejection destinations to which a recording medium printed in response to the print instruction is ejected; and, in a case where the ejection destination associated with the print instruction waits for ejection of a recording medium subsequent to the already ejected recording medium, execute a print instruction for the subsequent recording medium, and not execute a print instruction for ejecting a recording medium other than the subsequent recording medium to the ejection destination.

Abstract: An information control apparatus controls a printer device. The printer device outputs a sheet which is fed from a sheet feeder and which is printed and loads the printed sheet in a loader in accordance with a print instruction. The information control apparatus includes a controller. In a case in which the printer device outputs a check sheet while the print instruction is being executed, the controller performs control so that the sheet feeder will feed, as a sheet to be used as the check sheet, a sheet which will protrude from other sheets when being loaded in the loader.

Abstract: A medium processing apparatus includes a first medium support portion that supports a printing medium bundle consisting of printed media on which printing has been performed and an insertion medium inserted between the printed media, a second medium support portion that supports an insertion medium bundle including plural insertion media, and a supply unit that supplies a corresponding insertion medium from the insertion medium bundle to a place where the insertion medium is missing in the printing medium bundle and does not supply an insertion medium corresponding to the insertion medium included in the printing medium bundle among the insertion media included in the insertion medium bundle to the printing medium bundle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquires failure information being information regarding processing failure occurring in a medium processing system that has performed processing on a recording medium based on a processing request, and specify an alternative processing system being another medium processing system that is to perform the processing request, based on the acquired failure information.
