Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a memory that stores time information having a periodicity and print setting information as a printing execution history, a reception unit that receives print data, and a printer that prints the print data according to the print setting information corresponding to the time information in a case of reception of the received print data or in a case where, if a case of printing execution is designated with respect to the received print data, time in the case of execution corresponds to the time information.

Abstract: A consumables management system includes: a service providing device side communication unit that performs communication relevant to consumption information of a consumable item with a mobile device present within a communication area set in advance corresponding to a service providing device; a mobile device side communication unit that is mounted in the mobile device and performs communication relevant to the consumption information with the service providing device side communication unit in a case where the mobile device is present within the communication area; and a notification unit that notifies an administrator possessing the mobile device that a remaining amount of the consumable item mounted in the service providing device has been reduced to a predetermined threshold remaining amount or less in a case where it is determined that the remaining amount of the consumable item has been reduced to the threshold remaining amount or less.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver receives data from a transmission source. The controller creates a storage location linked with the transmission source and stores the data in the storage location in a case where information related to the transmission source is registered in management information for managing a communication partner.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a memory, a receiving unit, and a printing unit. The memory stores print schedule information indicating regular time information concerning a time at which printing is regularly performed and also stores print settings information in association with the print schedule information. The receiving unit receives print data. The printing unit prints the print data received by the receiving unit in accordance with the print settings information if a time at which the print data is received matches the regular time information indicated in the print schedule information.

Abstract: A printer includes a receiver, an inserter, and a sort controller. The receiver receives print data. In response to detection of a change in a reception condition for receiving the print data by the receiver, the inserter inserts separator information between a print data portion received before the detection and a print data portion received after the detection, and thereby generates print data including the separator information inserted thereinto. In response to detection of the separator information from the print data including the separator information inserted thereinto that is sequentially input from the inserter, the sort controller performs control to sort a printout of a print data portion after the detected separator information from a printout of a print data portion before the detected separator information.

Abstract: There is provided a printing device. In a case where a sheet of a first direction supplied to a printing unit runs out in the middle of printing a certain unit, a sorting controller supplies sheets of a second direction to the printing unit to enable the continuous printing, and in a case where a direction of the image data of the page already held at the time when the sheet of the first direction runs out does not match with the second direction, rotates the image data such that the direction of the image data matches with the second direction, and for the pages in which the print data is not generated at the time when the sheet of the first direction runs out, instructs the generation unit to generate the image data such that the direction of the image data matches with the second direction.

Abstract: A printer includes a receiver, a detector, and a sort controller. The receiver receives print data described in a page description language. The detector detects a predetermined specific command from the print data received by the receiver. If the detector detects the specific command, the sort controller performs control to sort a printout of a print data portion after the detected specific command from a printout of a print data portion before the detected specific command.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a log storing unit that stores a log of each of plural object items that are set in advance, and a setting unit that, when an error occurs, selects predetermined one or more object items from the plural object items on the basis of a type of the error, and makes a setting such that logs of the selected one or more object items are stored in the log storing unit.

Abstract: An ink jet printer with a recording head having an ink jet slit for ejecting ink onto a recording sheet, a sheet feeder for carrying the recording sheet toward and from the recording head, a cleaner for cleaning the ink jet slit. The cleaner is activated by the movement of the sheet feeder while the recording sheet is not set on the recording head and the recording head is out of operation, for prevention of stain of the recording sheet and enhancement of the processing by the CPU for controlling the ink jet printer.
