  • Patent number: 9030703
    Abstract: When print data transmitted by a PC is accumulated in a printing server, the printing server creates display data for displaying on the PC an image based on the print data and an image corresponding to an advertisement image to be added to the image, and transmits the display data to the PC. When print data is created so that an image is printed on only the front side of a recording paper, image data is created so that an advertisement image is printed on the reverse side of the recording paper. The PC previews an image on the surface and an image on the reverse side based on the received display data on an LCD of a display section.

  • Patent number: 8311266
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus and an accounting system which comprise an accounting section of a high degree of flexibility in accounting for the output of image data. The accounting system is primarily made up of a client PC 100 including a keyboard 109, an administration server 201 including an accounting section 222 and a memory 221, and an image processing apparatus 202 including an administration section 231 and a printing section 233. The memory 221 stores an accounting table. The administration section 231 stores image data. The accounting section 222 extracts the document name of image data and the number of the image data outputs, from an operating instruction input from the keyboard 109, and determines an accounting from an administration table based on the extracted result.
