Abstract: A printing system includes an image forming apparatus capable of performing visible printing and invisible printing and a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus includes first circuitry. The first circuitry adds a printing command instructing to invisibly print an image of a two-dimensional code obtained by two-dimensionally encoding a print target image to print data generated based on the print target image. The first circuitry transmits, to the image forming apparatus, the print data to which the printing command is added. The image forming apparatus including second circuitry. The second circuitry visibly prints the print target image based on the print data transmitted from the terminal apparatus, and invisibly prints the image of the two-dimensional code according to the printing command added.

Abstract: A printing system, a non-transitory recording medium, and a print control method. The printing system adds a command for instructing printing with special color material to a single color page in first print data, the first print data having been generated based on image data including the single color page in which an object is drawn in single color, transmits to the image forming apparatus, second print data that has the command added, and prints the single color page in the second print data with the special color material.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to perform: first allowing a setting value for a print setting to be specified; second allowing a setting value for a print setting to be specified; specifying a setting value for a print setting through any one of the first allowing or the second allowing; generating print data; determining whether the setting value for the print setting is specified through the first allowing or the second allowing; writing the print setting and the setting value specified through one of the first allowing and the second allowing in print setting information storage in an associated manner; reading the setting value associated with the print setting from the print setting information storage; and transmitting the print data to which a print command corresponding to the print setting including the setting value is added, to an apparatus connected via a network.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory, a receiver, and circuitry. The memory stores, for each one of a plurality of character strings, display number information indicating a total number of times the character string has been displayed at a user terminal, the user terminal being operated by a user. The receiver receives, from the user terminal, information on one of the plurality of character strings that is displayed at the user terminal. The circuitry updates the display number information for the displayed character string, based on the information on the displayed character string that is received by the receiver, determines whether the displayed character string is to be translated, based on the updated display number information, and sends a request to manually translate the displayed character string, based on determination indicating that the displayed character string is to be translated.
