Abstract: In the past, a computer that processes data and an output apparatus that receives the processed data and outputs the same have managed the data differently. Therefore, it has been difficult to correctly grasp job information. According to this invention, logs are obtained from both of a computer that processes data and an output apparatus that outputs the processed data and merged to be managed. Therefore, job information can be managed collectively and correctly.

Abstract: A computer transmits a command to change the operation of a print command to a printing apparatus. The printing apparatus changes the operation of the print command and records information (print record) associated with printing on a storage unit in accordance with the changed print command. The reading unit of the computer reads the print record recorded by the printing apparatus, and the management unit of the computer manages the read print record.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to this invention acquires function restriction information used to restrict the use of functions of an image processing apparatus. The apparatus acquires job log data of a job which is processed using the functions of the image processing apparatus. The apparatus changes the acquired function restriction information. The apparatus calculates a cost incurred upon using the functions of the image processing apparatus within a designated period, based on unit price information indicating the unit prices of the resources consumed upon using the functions of the image processing apparatus, the job log data, and the changed function restriction information. The apparatus outputs the calculation result.

Abstract: This invention provides a managing system capable of achieving a low operational cost and high process efficiency of a system made up of a plurality of devices connected to each other via a network, an image processing apparatus, a managing apparatus, a control method therefore, and a program. To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus outputs, to an image processing apparatus, a job which uses a function provided by the image processing apparatus, and use limitation information of the function of the image processing apparatus that is used to process the job. The image processing apparatus receives the job and use limitation information. The image processing apparatus prints the job within the range of the use limitation information.

Abstract: An information processing system capable of communicating with a printing apparatus which returns from power saving by external access, and having first and second access units adapted to access the printing apparatus, includes a requesting unit adapted to request notification of event occurrence generated by processing by the first access unit, and a determination unit adapted to determine the presence/absence of the notification of event occurrence. The second access unit accesses the printing apparatus, if the determination unit determines that there is the notification of the event occurrence.

Abstract: A print managing apparatus according to the invention obtains a print history from a printer on a network and updates a print amount in the printer or an amount in which the printing can be performed by the printer on the basis of the obtained print history, thereby enabling whether the printing is accepted or rejected to be discriminated without inquiring of the print managing apparatus by the printer. A waiting time for use of the printer is shortened.

Abstract: A job managing apparatus in which a message can be displayed without installing a job account client application in a print client. A print server manages a job that is output to a printer and transmits information related to the job to a print client. The information related to the job is transmitted to an application for notifying a user of the information related to the job when the print client has the application. When the print client does not have the application, the information related to the job is transmitted to an operating system of the print client.

Abstract: A resin composition excellent in sliding characteristics, composed of 95 to 30% by weight of an aromatic polysulfone, 2.5 to 60% by weight of a fluorocarbon polymer and 2.5 to 60% by weight of an oxybenzoyl polyester.

Abstract: A D.C. voltage is applied between an anode terminal and stem pins of a cathode ray tube, using the anode terminal as a negative terminal to cause cathode spot at an edge of an internal electric conductive film of the cathode ray tube. Thus, the edge of the internal electric conductive film is so conditioned that the dielectric breakdown strength of a glass neck tube of the cathode ray tube is graded up.
