Abstract: When document data cannot be printed and when it is necessary to convert a data format of the document data, a digital multi-function apparatus 110 requests a conversion of the data format to a data conversion apparatus 120. The data conversion apparatus 120 returns the document data after the data format was converted and data format information showing the data format before the conversion to the digital multi-function apparatus 110. The digital multi-function apparatus 110 executes a print processing when the data format identified by the received data format information is a data format of an application which can be printed by itself. If NO, the apparatus 110 does not execute the print processing.

Abstract: In a case where an image forming apparatus is connected to an information processing apparatus, correction information is generated through comparison between time information obtained by the image forming apparatus and time information obtained by the information processing apparatus. The image forming apparatus transmits, to the information processing apparatus, time information indicating a time at which setting information is updated in the image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus corrects the received time information with the correction information. The information processing apparatus determines whether to update setting information stored in the information processing apparatus with received setting information, based on the corrected time information.

Abstract: The phase of laser light is modulated by a phase modulating array, and a hologram image is projected on a rotating screen. Light emission of the laser light is driven by PWM modulation so that a light emission period and a non-light emission period following the light emission period are repeated. In a case where the luminance of the hologram image is changed, the duty ratio of the light emission period is changed. In a case where the luminance is significantly reduced, the light emission intensity of the laser light is reduced without changing the duty ratio. Since the duty ratio is not reduced, a light diffusion condition on the rotating screen can be randomized even in a case where the luminance is reduced.
