Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain characteristic values including smoothness and basis weight of a recording medium; and identify the type of the recording medium on the basis of the smoothness and the basis weight.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes at least one processor configured to: acquire physical-property-value information of a recording medium; using information regarding a printing machine, perform an evaluation as to whether there is a possibility that the recording medium causes trouble for printing by the printing machine, the evaluation being performed with respect to at least one printing performance indicator based on the physical-property-value information; and output a result of the evaluation to a display device.

Abstract: An information processing device not connected to a communication line includes a processor configured to generate information on each specific processing repeatedly executed, the information being to be managed by a management device, and refer to management information indicating information already managed by the management device, and output information which is among the generated information and not yet managed by the management device.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to generate a second color chart from a first color chart. The second color chart includes multiple color samples selected from multiple color samples included in the first color chart, and the second color chart is generated in such a manner that a color sample included in the second color chart is located in the second color chart at a position at least maintaining a partial-adjacency relationship in the first color chart.

Abstract: An information processing device not connected to a communication line includes a processor configured to measure an accumulated number of execution counts for specific processing repeatedly performed by an application, and perform control so that after the accumulated number of execution counts reaches an allowable number, the application is not started up.
