Abstract: An image displaying system has a projector, an MFP and a client terminal device that are connected to one another via a LAN. In a setting screen of a printer driver installed in the client terminal device, a print job or a projection job is selected, and an image file for execution of the selected job is specified, and job data having header information and image data of the specified image file is generated and transmitted to the MFP. When the received job is an image displaying job, the MFP transmits image data pertaining to the image displaying job to the projector for displaying an image. Accordingly, convenience of the MFP having the projector connected thereto is enhanced.

Abstract: A CPU determines whether there is handwriting. If handwriting is determined to be done, the handwritten image data is obtained. Thereafter, CPU determines, based on the obtained handwritten image data, whether the handwritten image is a handwritten data for area designation. If it is determined, based on the obtained handwritten image data, that the handwritten image data is a handwritten image for area designation, next, a designated write area display process is executed.

Abstract: A CPU obtains a leading page of data stored in an HDD and executes delivery. Then, the CPU determines whether a single-delivery stop command is received or not. When the CPU determines that the single-delivery stop command is received, it executes the single-delivery stop processing. The CPU determines whether an all-delivery stop command is received or not. When the all-delivery stop command is received, the CPU executes all-delivery stop/resume processing. When the all-delivery stop processing command is not received, CPU determines whether a predetermined period has elapsed or not. When the predetermined period has elapsed, the CPU obtains a next page and executes next data delivery.
