Abstract: An electronic device includes a display; a processor configured to allow the display to display guidance images for providing guidance on operations of the electronic device; and at least one sensor configured to detect a user's execution of at least one operation among the operations. When receiving a transition instruction for instructing a transition of the guidance image, the processor allows the display of the guidance image to transit on a guidance-image by guidance-image basis, and when an execution of a predetermined operation is detected by the at least one sensor, the processor allows the display of the guidance image to transit in such a way as to skip one or more guidance images among the guidance images.

Abstract: A device to be managed by a management device, the device includes a processor that receives selection of an item of device information to be transmitted to the management device out of device information of a plurality of items on the device; and a communication IF that transmits only device information of the selected item to the management device. The device further includes a display control section that displays a service provided in accordance with the selection of the device information.

Abstract: A print processing system includes a server that includes a first storage that stores image processing information required to generate print data for each of print media and a print apparatus that executes printing based on the print data. The print apparatus includes a second storage that stores address information of the image processing information in the first storage in association with the print media and a transfer processor that is configured to transfer a request to the server with reference to the address information stored in the second storage. In a case of receiving the request, the server reads the image processing information from the first storage based on the referred address information and transmits the read image processing information to the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: A photographic printing system includes an input unit for inputting an image for making a photographic print thereof from an image storage medium storing the image in the form of an image file, a photographic printer for making the photographic print based on the image inputted by the input unit and a writer unit for writing image data of the image from which the photographic print has been made, into a recording medium. The writer unit writes into the recording medium a file name assigned to the image data when recorded in the image storage medium, either as an information file separate from and in correlation with the image file or as a portion of the data of the image file.

Abstract: A photographic printing system includes an inputting device for inputting a photographic frame image and front printable information from an image storage medium storing therein both the photographic frame image for making a photographic print and the front printable information which can be printed on an image face of the photographic print together with the photographic frame image, a photographic printing device for making the photographic print based on the photographic image and the front printable information inputted by the inputting device and a writing device for writing digital data into a recording medium. The writing device writes into the recording medium the image data of the photographic frame image in an image file and writes also the front printable information actually used in making the photographic print in an information file separate from the image file in a format which allows the front printable information to be linked with the image data.
