Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for mobile printing. The system including a mobile device, the mobile device including a non-transitory memory configured to store a mobile printing application for the mobile device, the mobile printing application configured to support a limited number of features of an image forming apparatus; a user interface of the mobile printing application; and wherein the mobile device is configured to send print settings to the image forming apparatus; and the image forming apparatus including: a processor configured to receive the print settings; a memory configured to store the print settings; a user interface; wherein the image forming apparatus is configured to accept modifications to the print settings through the user interface of the image forming apparatus and to make modified print settings; and wherein the image forming apparatus is configured to execute a print job using the modified print settings.

Abstract: An image forming device comprises: an additional information determining part that determines necessity of additional information required for execution of a print job based on information received from a terminal device; a print job storage that temporarily stores therein the print job received from the terminal device when the additional information determining part determines the additional information is necessary; an additional information requesting part that requests for the additional information to the terminal device when the additional information determining part determines the additional information is necessary; an additional information obtaining part that obtains the additional information from the terminal device; a print setting applying part that applies the additional information to the print job stored in the print job storage; and a printing part that produces the printed output based on the print job to which the additional information is applied by the print setting applying part.

Abstract: In a printing method, a plurality of predefined print setting groups are stored by a printer. A client device sends a print job to the printer. For the print job, the printer receives user-specified print settings that can be set with a graphic user interface on the client device. The printer also receives a shortcut ID, which the printer associates with one of the predefined print setting groups. The print job is completed using a merged group of settings derived from the user-specified and predefined settings. Advantageously, the predefined settings may be of a type that a user cannot set from the client device, as might be the case when the client device is physically small with a minimal graphic user interface. This can allow the user to access more sophisticated features of the printer. However, conflicts may arise between the user-specified and predefined settings. The printer resolves conflicts by giving priority to user-specified settings or predefined settings.
