Abstract: An image processing apparatus may include a processor including a processing unit, a creating unit, and an output unit. The processing unit stores image data created by executing a job in a storage unit. The creating unit creates an information code representing information indicating a storage area of the storage unit in which the image data is stored. The output unit displays the information code created by the creating unit on a display unit.

Abstract: An image forming system according to the present invention includes plural image forming apparatuses equipped with control panels and a server that is connected to the respective image forming apparatuses through a network and manages data of a user interface commonly usable in the respective control panels of the respective image forming apparatuses and supplies the user interface to the respective image forming apparatuses. In this image forming system, even when user interfaces of the respective image forming apparatuses are originally different from each other, it is possible to realizes, for each user or for each department, a common user interface on the control panels.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to the present invention is an image forming apparatus capable of playing plural roles alone, the image forming apparatus including an authentication database in which association between a user and authentication information of the user is registered, a role management database in which association between the user and the role allocated to the user, association between a department to which a plurality of users belong and the role allocated to the department, and association between the user and the department to which the user belongs are registered, an authenticating unit that performs authentication of the user according to matching between authentication information inputted by the user and the authentication information registered in the authentication database, and a role managing unit that permits, with reference to the role management database, the user authenticated by the authenticating unit to use the role allocated to the user and permits the department to wh

Abstract: The invention relates to an image forming apparatus capable of executing plural jobs and capable of generating a thumbnail image representing a history of execution of the jobs. The image forming apparatus includes a condition setting unit that sets a condition for generating the thumbnail image and a log generating unit. The log generating unit generates a thumbnail log of the job executed on the basis of the condition set by the condition setting unit, when any one of the jobs is executed in the image forming apparatus, and generates a thumbnail image using this thumbnail log.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image forming method for use in an image forming apparatus which includes an image forming unit that generates image data from a manuscript and forms an image, an input unit that inputs a command for operating the image forming apparatus, and a control unit that controls the image forming apparatus by exchanging information with the input unit or an external device, the method includes establishing a communication connection state for controlling the image forming apparatus by means of an operating command from the external device, invalidating the control of the image forming apparatus by the operating command from the external device in response to the cancel request from the input unit, and then, switching a current state to a state for controlling the image forming apparatus by means of the operating command from the input unit, and forcibly terminating a job being executed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus 1 comprises a toner cartridge, a display portion 33 for notifying a toner near-empty, storage portions 34, 37 for storing, as data, a toner amount housed in a new toner cartridge, a toner consumption amount when the toner cartridge is used and operating time of the image forming apparatus, and a control portion 31 for executing a program for notifying a toner near-empty. A toner supply predication point and a toner supply preparation point are calculated from a toner amount housed in a new toner cartridge, a toner consumption amount when the toner cartridge is used and operating time of the image forming apparatus, and when reaching the toner supply preparation point, the toner near-empty is displayed to notify it.

Abstract: In a delivery destination control method of this invention, even when a cardboard mode is instructed first, and then a finishing mode is instructed, the cardboard mode instructed first is preferentially selected and set. Conversely, even when the cardboard mode is instructed first, and then the finishing mode is instructed, the finishing mode instructed first is preferentially selected and set. When the cardboard mode is set, the delivery destination is controlled to a first delivery section, and a change of the delivery destination is inhibited. When the finishing mode is set, the delivery destination is controlled to a second delivery section, and the change of the delivery destination is inhibited.
