Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first printer driver, and a second printer driver. The first printer driver includes prohibition information specific to a device that is to be controlled. The second printer driver includes an association establishing unit and a receiving unit. The association establishing unit establishes an association with the first printer driver. The receiving unit receives print settings. The second printer driver transmits, to the device that is to be controlled, print data based on print settings that have been obtained through conversion performed on the basis of the prohibition information included in the first printer driver. The association establishing unit establishes the association with the first printer driver.

Abstract: A print instruction apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires basis weight class information from multiple image forming apparatuses to be selected, the basis weight class information representing information on basis weight class of recording paper set for each of the multiple image forming apparatuses, and a generating unit that generates a common basis weight classification from the acquired basis weight class information, the common basis weight classification including a basis weight class common to the multiple image forming apparatuses.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus to which plural image forming apparatuses having different functions are connected and which transfers a print job transmitted from a terminal apparatus of a user to the image forming apparatus usable by the user, includes a generation unit that generates a model group of the image forming apparatus usable by the user, for each user.

Abstract: A print management apparatus includes a detection unit, a determination unit and a notification unit. The detection unit detects a specific print command. The determination unit determines a second person who gives another print command. The second person is different from a first person who gives the specific print command detected by the detection unit. The notification unit notifies, to the second person, information for prompting the second person to collect a printed matter that is output in response to the specific print command.

Abstract: When a voice button is pressed after selection of a desired sentence example, a CPU causes a musical note mark to be displayed on a display. If the selected sentence example is one for the opposite sex, the CPU reads out speech data (in a voice of a person of the opposite sex) corresponding to the selected sentence example from a ROM, and causes the readout speech data to be outputted in voice form from a speaker. The selected sentence example is displayed in parenthesis, to show the user that the displayed sentence is for the opposite sex. If the selected sentence example is not one for the opposite sex, the CPU reads out speech data (in a voice of a person of the same sex) corresponding to the selected sentence example from the ROM, and causes the readout speech data to be outputted in voice form from the speaker. Alternatively, speech data corresponding to sentence examples for the opposite sex are not stored in the ROM, and therefore are not outputted in voice form.

Abstract: A language information processing apparatus for translating a model phrase in a first language into a corresponding second language and outputting the translated phrase. The apparatus includes a display that displays the phrase, an input device for inputting a character or a word to be added in the first language to the phrase displayed by the display, a first voice information storage device that stores voice information in the second language corresponding to the phrase, and a second voice information storage device that prepares and stores voice information concerning the character or word in the first language with an intonation in the first language, which character or word is input by the input device.
