Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a command receiving unit that receives a print command, a detector that detects a state of the operation unit, and a controller. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be terminated. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be executed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printer engine, a storage unit, a print data interpreting unit, and a print control unit. The print data interpreting unit interprets print data and identifies both a first job type and a second job type. The first job type specifies any one of a special print job using special toner and a normal job using normal toner, and the second job type specifies a print function to be used. The print control unit makes a decision to permit or prohibit accumulation of print data in view of security based on the first job type and the second job type, accumulates the print data in the storage unit when the decision to permit the accumulation of the print data is made, and prohibits the accumulation of the print data when the decision to prohibits the accumulation of the print data is made.

Abstract: A novel image forming apparatus that categorizes print job information for each newly added application and presents the print job information without categorizing data incorrectly and mixing in impersonation data. All of the applications that installed additionally extract jobs that went through itself only from trace information on jobs notified by the default functions and display it in a user interface. The trace information on jobs is a job ID association list that associates a job ID numbered by the default functions with a job ID of a job issued by the additional application.

Abstract: In an image forming system, after receiving print data, print setting data, and a command to display a preview from an information processing apparatus, an image drawing unit in an image forming apparatus generates a preview image that reflects the print setting data from the print data and send it to the information processing apparatus. After receiving the print data, the print setting data, and the command to start printing from the information processing apparatus, the image drawing unit generates drawing data that reflects the print setting data from the print data, and an engine unit prints out an image on paper.

The print data interpreting unit interprets print data and identifies both a first job type and a second job type. The first job type specifies any one of a special print job using special toner and a normal job using normal toner, and the second job type specifies a print function to be used. The print control unit makes a decision to permit or prohibit accumulation of print data in view of security based on the first job type and the second job type, accumulates the print data in the storage unit when the decision to permit the accumulation of the print data is made, and prohibits the accumulation of the print data when the decision to prohibits the accumulation of the print data is made.
