Abstract: A recommendation set content in a print setting item is proposed based on a print setting history of a print job in which a print instruction is given from an information processing apparatus and printing is performed in an image forming apparatus at time of print setting in the information processing apparatus. A printing system accumulates set contents of print setting items at time of print instruction in the information processing apparatus as a print setting history, for example, in a server, and at start of print setting or at time of print setting change in the information processing apparatus, searches recommendation setting candidates based on a predetermined recommendation basis from the set contents of print setting items at the start of the print setting or at the time of the print setting change, and displays the searched recommendation setting candidates on the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: If, in the printing window displayed on the display according to the printer driver, the information processor is instructed to start printing, the control unit activates a program, displaying the main setting window at the front of the display. The main setting window shows images of resource saving buttons and a start decision button. Each of the resource saving buttons enables a user to select a printing function that can contribute to a resource saving more effectively than the already selected printing function or functions. The start decision button enables the user to decisively instruct the information processor to start the printing.

Abstract: A calibration jig for a component recognition device and a component recognition calibration method using the jig which can stabilize the mounting accuracy of a component to a to-be-mounted object and improve amount quality. An opening is formed at a to-be-picked up face of the calibration jig. A predetermined position of the calibration jig is recognized on the basis of the contrast between the picked-up face and the opening. The position of the calibration jig can be recognized with higher accuracy, so that a resolution of the component recognition device, etc. can be obtained with a higher degree of accuracy. Mount accuracy of the component to the object is thus stabilized and mount quality is improved.
