Abstract: A printing apparatus electronically processes an imput image and outputs the processed image from a recording section. The printing apparatus includes: a managing section which manages an operating status of the printing apparatus; a display section which notifies an administrator of information that recommends confirming expendables used by the recording section to output the image; and a CPU which, based on the information of the operating status of the printing apparatus managed by the managing section, recommends the administrator through the display section to confirm the expendables. As a result, an image output apparatus of the present invention is provided that manages its past operating status, and, based on the managed information, informs the administrator of the operating status in advance, so as to ensure stable operations without arrest.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to determine, when installing a program in a terminal through the Internet, whether the program is operable or not, and notify the result of the determination to the terminal. In a system of the present invention, the operating environment of an image forming apparatus is determined, a program list showing programs operable in the operating environment is generated at a server, and the program list is supplied to the image forming apparatus. A program selected from the program list is requested from the server, and then the program is supplied from the server to the image forming apparatus. That is, a program is selected from a list of programs determined operable in the operating environment of the image forming apparatus, and is supplied to the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: If a paper jam has occurred during this copy reserving operation, a trouble icon appears on the LCD. This trouble icon relates to a problem that has occurred in a job other than the copy reservation job, but will be displayed on the copy reservation frame so as to warn the user. A controller displays the trouble icon at such a position that it does not affect other windows, keys and the like displayed on the LCD, for example, it does not obstruct the display, and nor is it laid over the display (it is displayed at a non-overlaid position). When this trouble icon is touched by the user, the controller displays a warning window displaying the content of the error, preferentially at the approximate center of the LCD (in the frontmost layer viewed from the user).
