Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus. A receiving unit receives a data of printing. An output unit outputs image data of each of plural elements which are parts of recording media, if the receiving unit receives print data including height information of a three-dimensional object at positions of each pixel of image data on a two-dimensional image is generated such that the three-dimensional object is formed by stacking the plural elements, and the image data is generated from the height information of the three-dimensional object at the positions of the each pixel.

Abstract: A print control apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a setup execution unit. The acquisition unit acquires, from a portable terminal, setting of an apparatus condition of an image forming apparatus that performs printing on continuous paper and of a print start time at which the image forming apparatus starts the printing. The setup execution unit starts a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on the basis of the setting of the apparatus condition acquired by the acquisition unit. The setup process is performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a first output unit that, when an instruction to perform image formation based on 2D image data is received, generates first image formation information for formation of images on respective recording media based on the 2D image data and outputs the generated first image formation information to an image forming apparatus; a second output unit that, when an instruction to perform 3D modeling based on 3D data is received, generates plural slice data by slicing the 3D data by plural respective planes, generates second image formation information for formation of a series of slice images on respective recording media based on the plural generated slice data, and outputs the generated second image formation information to the image forming apparatus; a generation unit that generates a series of control data as defined herein; and a storing unit as defined herein.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an interrupting unit that, in case where image formation based on 2D image data is commanded during execution of 3D modeling based on slice data generated by slicing 3D data, suspends output of image formation data for formation of slice images on respective recording media by an image forming apparatus and output of control data that allow a post-processing apparatus to perform, without delay, post-processing of the 3D modeling on the recording media on which slice images have been formed by the image forming apparatus; a changing unit that changes order of execution of formation of remaining slice images of the 3D modeling, a remaining part of the post-processing of the 3D modeling, and image formation based on the 2D image data, according to a prescribed condition; and an output unit as defined herein.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a retaining unit and an image display. The retaining unit retains image-formation-related information of an image forming apparatus that forms an image. The image display causes a display section of a portable terminal having the display section and an image capturing section to display an image for assisting with an operation of the image forming apparatus based on a captured image result of the image capturing section and the image-formation-related information retained in the retaining unit.

Abstract: A print control apparatus includes a setting unit. The setting unit selects one or more statuses to be obtained among statuses indicating states of as image output apparatus, in accordance with content displayed on a display that displays the selected statuses. The setting unit sets a polling interval at which polling is performed to obtain the selected statuses, in accordance with a frequency of change of the selected statuses. The setting unit sets the number of parallel processes in accordance with the number of selected statuses.
