Abstract: An information processing device includes a lock section, a creation section, a transmission section, a reception section, and a release section. The lock section disables an authorization function of the information processing device under a given condition. The creation section creates a first lock release file that is capable of releasing the authorization function disabled by the lock section. The transmission section transmits the first lock release file to an information management device. The reception section receives a second lock release file, which is based on the first lock release file, from the information management device. The release section tries to enable the authorization function of the information processing device when the second lock release file is determined to be valid.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a lock section, a creation section, a transmission section, a reception section, and a release section. The lock section disables an authorization function of the information processing device under a given condition. The creation section creates a first lock release file so that releasing the function due to the lock section. The transmission section transmits the first lock release file created by the creation section to the information management device. The reception section receives a second lock release file which is transmitted as a reply from the information management device based on the first lock release file. The release section tries to enable the authorization function of the information processing device when the second lock release file is judged to be valid.

Abstract: A printer has a spreading unit 1 for spreading data sent from an upper apparatus into bit map data, a memory unit 2 for storing the bit map data spread by the spreading unit 1, an extracting unit 3 for extracting a contour-protecting shaped matrix which prevents the disappearance of a contour of an image, and a printing unit 7 which stores template data and a toner consumption saving pattern and which prints dot data of the bit map data based on a shape of the contour-protecting shaped matrix. The extracted matrix data are compared with the template data. When the matrix data corresponds with the template data, a noted pixel positioned in a central portion of the matrix is replaced with the toner consumption saving pattern. Accordingly, numbers of black dots can be decreased in a part of image data to save toner consumption in the printer.
