Abstract: An image forming apparatus that is capable of ensuring a high security level. An image forming apparatus receives a print job from an information processing apparatus connected to the MFP via a network. When a security policy specifying reservation of a received print job is set for the image forming apparatus, the received print job is not immediately executed, but is reserved therein.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of flexibly controlling whether or not to perform user authentication when a user performs operations related to functions of the apparatus. When a user instructs the apparatus to perform any of operations related to a secure print job which is a print job executed by using a secure print function, when the apparatus is operated in a function-based authentication mode, it is determined whether or not a user-selected function of a plurality of functions including at least a secure printing function for printing data in response to an input of a password requires user authentication. When the secure printing function is specified as the user-selected function and it is determined that the user-selected function does not require user authentication, the user is allowed to use the secure printing function, even if the user is not authenticated.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a request from an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with the image processing apparatus via a network, a determination unit configured to, based on authority information about user's authority included in the request received by the receiving unit and setting item information for identifying a setting item included in the request, determine whether a user has a write authority on the setting item, and a control unit configured to, in a case where the determination unit determines that the user has the write authority on the setting item, control whether to permit a change of a setting value of the setting item, based on a setting value of security policy information associated with the setting item.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores a plurality of print jobs, a job reception unit that receives a print job selected from the plurality of print jobs stored in the storage unit, an operation-type reception unit that receives an operation type of the print job when the selection of the print job is received, and a selection unit that automatically selects the print job as an operational target from the plurality of print jobs based on the operation type received by the operation-type reception unit.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive print data from an external apparatus, a storage unit configured to store the print data, an operation unit configured to receive an operation to be performed on the print data, a printing unit configured to print the print data when the received operation is print operation, a charging unit configured to start charging in response to the printing of the data when the printing apparatus is operating in charge mode, and a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that the print data is deleted when the received operation is cancel operation. When the printing apparatus is operating in the charge mode, the control unit performs control in such a manner that the print data is not deleted even when the cancel operation is instructed, until print operation is received.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus is provided with a monitoring system for preventing users from committing unauthorized use by storing an audit log and video data while reducing the amount of data. The monitoring apparatus includes a MFP and a monitoring camera installed at a position from which it can capture an image of the user operating the MFP. The monitoring camera captures a video image including the user. The MFP determines whether an event occurring in response to an instruction received from the user is a specific event. If the event is the specific event, the MFP stores video data representing a video image captured by the monitoring camera during a period in which the event occurs in association with a log indicating a record of the event.
