Abstract: A display capable of communicating with a server includes: an auxiliary storage that stores character information of a specific language, the character information including a character string contained in a screen when the screen is displayed; an acceptor that accepts selection of a language to be used in displaying the screen; a receiver that receives a translation result obtained by translating the character information of the specific language into a new language from the server when the language, selection of which has been accepted by the acceptor, is the new language different from the specific language; a hardware processor that stores, in the auxiliary storage, character information of the new language, the character information being created based on the translation result received by the receiver; and a display part that displays the screen based on the character information of the new language.

Abstract: A system includes: an information processing device having a cooperative application; one or more image formation apparatuses operating in cooperation with the information processing device; and a server configured to distribute the cooperative application via the image formation apparatus. The image formation apparatus is configured to: receive from the information processing device application information which identifies the cooperative application; and when the firmware is updated, receive from the server a cooperative application identified by the application information and corresponding to an updated version of the firmware.

Abstract: An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) is an image processing apparatus used for a printing method. In the printing method, plural kinds of images are printed on paper. The paper is trimmed after printing. Thereby, each of plural kinds of images can be obtained. The MFP includes a mark attaching unit that arranges marks corresponding to each of a plurality of kinds of images at scheduled cutting positions. As a result, it is possible to easily sort the sheets after cutting.

Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling distributed printing to be executed in a distributed printing system including at least plural image forming apparatuses. The program, when being executed, causes an apparatus in the distributed printing system to perform the following processing of controlling distributed printing. The processing includes dividing a print job into job portions, and distributing the job portions to virtual queues corresponding to the image forming apparatuses, respectively. The processing further includes sequentially sending, to each of the image forming apparatuses, job portions in the corresponding virtual queue, in accordance with a status of job processing of the each of the image forming apparatuses, and moving one or more job portions from one to another of the virtual queues so as to keep a ratio of the numbers of job portions remaining in the virtual queues constant.

Abstract: An image forming system of the present invention includes an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal. The image forming apparatus includes: a converter for converting into image data setting information related to job execution; and an output unit for outputting the image data obtained by the conversion. The mobile terminal includes: a photographing unit for photographing the outputted image data; a storage unit for saving the photographed image data; and an output unit capable of outputting either one of the saved image data and setting information indicated by the image data.

Abstract: A processing apparatus capable of improving the degree of security protection without requiring a user to perform any additional operations, the processing apparatus determining whether or not a logged-in user is the same person as a user who pressed input confirmation button to confirm contents of input information by comparing first fingerprint information obtained when the user logged in and second fingerprint information obtained when the input confirmation button was pressed, and carrying out processing based on the contents of the input and confirmed information if the user's identity is confirmed.

Abstract: An administrative program that causes a computer to perform a step (S3) of requesting the transmission of information regarding the status of a collection flag that indicates the execution of an information collection routine from the administrative apparatuses that can execute an information collection routine in which administrative information is collected from the copying machine connected to the LAN, and a step (S5) of requesting, when information indicating a positive collection flag status is received, the transmission of the collected information from the administrative apparatus from which such information is received.

Abstract: A management device detects the existence of a copying machine connected to a LAN (S2); determines whether the detected copying machine is capable of creating a link (S4); and transmits link information to the detected copying machine if the copying machine is determined to be capable of creating a link (S5).
