An information management apparatus includes a processor, and a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions. The instructions instruct the information management apparatus to execute steps including acquiring stroke data of a trajectory of an approaching writing device detected by a detection portion capable of detecting the trajectory and including data of the trajectory of the writing device corresponding to schedule information written on a paper medium, generating image data of the trajectory based on the acquired stroke data, generating text data based on the acquired stroke data, and registering and managing the schedule information identified from the text data and the image data.

A method for transferring a package of files that is executed by a personal computer, the package of files being made up of plural compressed files that are separately present therein. For transferring the package of files, the personal computer creates, with respect to each printer, a dedicated file that is exclusively acceptable to similar-dedicated-file-compatible models of the printer; the personal computer treats the respective dedicated files as the plural files and creates the package of files by packaging the respective dedicated files in the package of files; and with respect to the respective dedicated files in the package of files, in transferring the package of files, when it is detected by the personal computer, that the personal computer is connected to the printer that is compatible with the dedicated file, the personal computer transfers the dedicated file in the package of files to the detected printer.

An automatic file transfer system includes a personal computer and one or more printers. The automatic file transfer system includes a transfer folder capable of containing one or more files, wherein, when the personal computer recognizes, through plug-and-play, that a printer among the one or more printers which are connected to the personal computer is powered on, if the printer currently recognized is a transfer-target printer, the personal computer executes in a repetitive manner, for the printer currently recognized, processes of: (i) determining whether or not a new file is moved into the transfer folder; and (ii) transferring, if it is determined that a new file is moved into the transfer folder, the new file to the printer currently recognized.

In a reception management apparatus, when a print button is operated after scheduled visitor information is selected, a badge ID representing print number is assigned to the selected scheduled visitor information and thereby print data of an entry pass associated with the scheduled visitor information is created and output to a printer. At the same time, the badge ID is assigned to and displayed in the scheduled visitor information in the appointment list display window. Further, when a shared button is operated after the scheduled visitor information is selected, the badge ID representing print number is assigned to the selected scheduled visitor information and thereby print data of the entry pass associated with the scheduled visitor information is created and output to the printer. At the same time, the personal information corresponding to the scheduled visitor information is stored in the entry-permitted list as entry-permitted visitor information.
