Abstract: A system according to exemplary embodiments includes an information processing apparatus and a cloud print service (CPS) associated with a company tenant. The information processing apparatus determines whether a client terminal having received a print request performs remote connection, and transmits a result of determination and print job data corresponding to the print request to the CPS. The CPS causes another CPS that is associated with a public tenant and connected to the CPS via a network to hold the print job data transmitted from the information processing apparatus based on the result of the determination transmitted from the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: According to this invention, in printing from a mobile terminal to a printer, the distance between them is measured in an LE mode, and when the distance reaches a predetermined distance, print data is transmitted to the printer in a normal mode and held in the printer. When the distance becomes shorter, a print execution instruction is issued to the printer in the normal mode, thereby causing the printer to execute printing.

Abstract: In order to support a user operation in a system cooperation function using wireless communication, an information processing system includes an image processing apparatus with an image scanning unit and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs wireless communication with the image processing apparatus; identifies a distance from the image processing apparatus based on the wireless communication; displays a screen used to accept a user operation; and controls an image scanning operation by the image scanning unit in cooperation with the image processing apparatus. If the distance is less than a predetermined distance, the mobile terminal displays a first screen that prompts a first scanning method, and if the distance is not less than the predetermined distance, the mobile terminal displays a second screen that prompts a second scanning method different from the first scanning method.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs a density adjustment process for generating an image containing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image for warning against the use of copy products. To help users to easily adjust the density of a latent image portion and a background portion in the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, the image processing apparatus determines a density relationship of the latent image portion and the background portion by performing a plurality of adjustment operations, in combination, different in the amount of adjustment relating to the range of variable density in at least one of the latent image portion and the background portion, and sets, based on the density relationship, the density data of each of the latent image portion and the background portion in the data of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image.

Abstract: Provided is a printing system in which a mobile terminal that instructs the print service device to print without specifying an image forming device that executes printing in response to a selection of document data, and the print service device transmits a command for causing the terminal device to write, in the near field communication unit of the terminal device, storage information related to a storage location on the network of the print job generated upon receiving the instruction, and the image processing device activates the near field communication unit of the image processing device, and acquires the print job based on the storage information acquired by the acquisition unit and print the print job.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus sets a sorting information list and a sorting method used for a sort operation, and transmits the sorting information list set to an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus displays a selection screen on which a user can select sorting information from the sorting information list, and transmits the sorting information selected on the selection screen to the information processing apparatus, and transmits scanned data to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus sorts the scanned data using the sorting information based on the sorting method set.

Abstract: The server system changes a state of a printer object to a shared state to cause a second user different from a first user to be able to use the printer object upon receipt of a sharing instruction with respect to the printer registered on a print service by the first user, and deletes at least printer authentication information within the printer object in a shared state upon receipt of a deletion instruction for deleting the printer registered on the print service.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a decision unit configured to determine whether or not print image data includes copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern image data. Based on a decision result of the decision unit regarding whether or not the print image data includes the copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern image data, a processing unit of the image processing apparatus is configured to determine whether first compression processing is to be performed or second compression processing is to be performed and apply the decided compression processing to the print image data.

Abstract: A method includes determining whether a program module for varying print settings for a printer driver is participating in print processing when the printer driver executes print processing; and switching a part of the print settings for the printer driver to the print settings according to the program module when the program module is participating in the print processing.

Abstract: When a color selected for use in printing an additional image is not included in colors selected for normal printing, the color for the additional image is changed to an appropriate color, and an increase in cost is avoided. In the color deciding process, a controller examines a color mode at step (S702), and, in this case, identifies the color mode as a two-color mode (S703). When at step (S710), the controller determines that application of an additional image has been designated, at step S711 the controller examines two-color detailed settings. Thereafter, when at step (S720) the controller determines mode 1 is the designated two-color detailed setting, and at step (S721) determines the color selected for an additional image is not black, the processing advances to step (S722), and the controller changes the color for the additional image to black.
