Abstract: An information processing system which makes it possible to enable the effective use of an optional function (surplus optional function) remaining in an unusable state. When one printing apparatus has optional function data (license or an application program) stored therein for execution of an optional function, without a required optional device mounted thereon, and another printing apparatus has the optional device mounted thereon without the optional function data, the optional function data is transferred from the one printing apparatus to the other printing apparatus. Upon reception of the optional function data, the optional function data is stored in a storage device of the printing apparatus. When the optional function data stored in the storage device, and the optional device is mounted, the optional function is caused to be executed.

Abstract: From an external device, a print job which includes application data generated by an application on the external device and print data printable by a printing apparatus is received. The print data in the received print job is rasterized into bitmap data. The application data in the received print job is converted into bitmap data which represents encrypted information rasterizable by the printing apparatus. The converted bitmap data and rasterized bitmap data are composited. The composited bitmap data is printed.

Abstract: Each of two or more document management server stores a document and index data corresponding to the document. Of the index data stored in the two or more document management servers, index data corresponding to a document that satisfies a first retrieval condition is collected for storage. When a user requests retrieval based on a second retrieval condition, it is determined whether the first retrieval condition and the second retrieval condition are the same, and when the first and second conditions are the same, the document retrieval according to the user's instruction is performed by referring to the collected index data.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a reflector using a metal thin film layer, particularly a reflector having higher reflectance than in the prior art. Specifically, studies have been made to provide a reflector which exhibits a superior reflection-increasing effect. As a result, it has been found that if the thickness of a low refractive index thin film layer (B) which comes in contact with a metal thin film layer (A) is controlled so that it is within a range of 0.7 ?/8nL–1.3 ?/8nL, a reflector having an arrangement of metal layer (A)/low refractive index thin film layer (B)/high refractive index thin film layer (C) exhibits reflectance which is extremely superior than in the prior art over a wide wavelength range. More specifically, it exhibits higher reflectance than a pure silver single film does, and a reflector superior in durability can be obtained.
