Abstract: A printer includes a processor receiving a print job from a first driver and a second driver supporting a smaller number of initially set sizes of printing media selectable by a user than a number of initially set sizes of printing media supported by the first driver, determines which driver the print job is received from, performs suspension control suspending print job execution in a case where there occurs a disagreement state in which a size of a printing medium designated by the print job and a size of a printing medium supplied from a supply section during execution of the print job are different from each other during execution of a print job received from the first driver, and performs continuation control continuing execution of the print job in a case where there occurs the disagreement state during execution of a print job received from the second driver.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes first and second processors controlling first and second image formers that form first and second images using color material having first and second color compositions, the second image to be superimposed on the first image; and a display displaying information. If an image formation instruction, including information indicating that the first and second images are to be superimposed is received, with a different image formation instruction being received, the first processor causes the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the different image formation instruction; and transmit to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition. The second processor causes the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a first processor configured to control a first image former that forms a first image using a color material having a first color composition and a second processor configured to control a second image former that forms, using a color material having a second color composition, a second image to be superimposed on the first image. The first processor is configured to cause the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the first different image formation instruction, and transmit to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition. The second processor is configured to cause the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first processor configured to control a transporter that transports a sheet and a first image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter, and a second processor configured to control a second image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter. The first processor and the second processor are contained in a single housing. The first processor is configured to perform transport preparation for transporting the sheet at the transporter and receive, from the second processor, a completion notification corresponding to a preparation command, for performing image formation preparation in the second image forming section, transmitted to the second processor via an inside of the housing, and subsequently cause the transporter to transport the sheet and the first image forming section to form the image.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first processor configured to control a transporter that transports a sheet and a first image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter, and a second processor configured to control a second image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter. The first processor and the second processor are contained in a single housing.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a first processor and a second processor are provided. When the two processors receive a cooperative command for forming images respectively at first and second image forming sections, the first processor transmits a preparation command for performing image formation preparation in the second image forming section to the second processor, and the second processor performs the image formation preparation in the second image forming section and transmits a completion notification to the first processor upon completion, and the first processor executes an image forming process.

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.
