Abstract: A control system for a hybrid vehicle that is configured to generate a driving force as required even if it is necessary to charge a battery rapidly. The hybrid vehicle may be propelled in a parallel mode in which power of the engine is partially translated into electric power by a motor and the remaining power of the engine is delivered to drive wheels. In a case that a rapid charging command is transmitted and that a required driving force is greater than a first driving force, the motor is operated to generate electric power in a predetermined amount, and the driving force is restricted to the first driving force.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores print data and transformation data transformed into a printable format by reflecting a print condition on the print data; a detection unit that detects an error when the transformation data stored in the storage unit is printed; a decision unit that decides a resolution print condition which is a print condition for resolving an error based on a content of the error and a device state when the error is detected; a transformation unit that acquires the print data from the storage unit and transforms the acquired print data into transformation data on which the decided resolution print condition is reflected; and a print control unit that prints the transformation data transformed by the transformation unit.

Abstract: A novel image forming apparatus that categorizes print job information for each newly added application and presents the print job information without categorizing data incorrectly and mixing in impersonation data. All of the applications that installed additionally extract jobs that went through itself only from trace information on jobs notified by the default functions and display it in a user interface. The trace information on jobs is a job ID association list that associates a job ID numbered by the default functions with a job ID of a job issued by the additional application.

Abstract: A time limit for a printer to be restored to a printable state after an occurrence of a print error that prevents the printer from printing is variably set. If the printer is not in a printable state when an elapsed time since the print error occurred in the printer reaches the time limit being set or exceeds the time limit, a print start command is transmitted to another printer, and a job assignment is switched to the other printer.

Abstract: In an image forming system, after receiving print data, print setting data, and a command to display a preview from an information processing apparatus, an image drawing unit in an image forming apparatus generates a preview image that reflects the print setting data from the print data and send it to the information processing apparatus. After receiving the print data, the print setting data, and the command to start printing from the information processing apparatus, the image drawing unit generates drawing data that reflects the print setting data from the print data, and an engine unit prints out an image on paper.

Abstract: A printing system including a plurality of host devices and a plurality of printing devices connected. The printing system includes: a storage unit; a first storage processing unit for storing, in the storage unit, a print status of a print job; an information updating unit for monitoring the plurality of printing devices and updates the execution status identification information stored in the storage unit; and a job management unit for determining, based on the print status, whether the print job is to be executed on the one printing device. When a processing request for the print job is sent from another host device while the printing process for the print job sent from the one host device is suspended in the one printing device, the job management unit allows the one printing device to execute the print job sent from the another host device.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus counts a number of sheets to be printed with a limited number of colorants or a limited amount of colorant using an other counter that is provided other than a color counter and a monochrome counter. The counter value of the other counter is adjusted using a weighting factor before being added to or subtracted from a counter value of the color counter or the monochrome counter.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus, a client PC, and a thin client PC are connected to a server device via a network. The client PC, or the thin client PC, transmits a printing instruction to the server device and the server device transmits the printing instruction to the image forming apparatus. In a thin client environment, a network between the server device and the image forming apparatus can be a narrowband network. Therefore, the server device compresses the whole printing instruction and then transmits the compressed printing instruction to the image forming apparatus.
