An image sending apparatus includes a first authentication unit configured to perform processing for first authentication to authenticate a user, a storage unit configured to store authentication information used when the first authentication unit authenticates the user, a sending unit capable of sending image data by a plurality of kinds of sending methods, a destination setting unit configured to set a destination to which the sending unit sends the image data, a second authentication unit configured to perform processing for second authentication required for the sending unit to send the image data to the destination set by the destination setting unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to use the authentication information stored in the storage unit when the second authentication unit performs the processing for the second authentication, based on the sending method by which the sending unit sends the image data to the destination.

Image sending apparatus and authentication method in image sending apparatus

An image forming apparatus has a changing portion configured to change, based on a detection result of a temperature sensor, response sensitivity in starting of power supply by a determination portion based on a detection result of a human body detection sensor in a case where a human body approaches the human body detection sensor. The changing portion increases the sensitivity in a case where a temperature detected by the temperature sensor is a second temperature lower than a first temperature than in a case where the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is the first temperature.

Image forming apparatus

A printing apparatus includes an instruction unit configured to issue a print instruction for printing print data stored in a storage device or a print server, a determination unit configured to determine whether authentication information is included in the print data, and a printing unit configured to, when the instruction unit issues the print instruction without performing authentication operation for authenticating a user and when the determination unit determines that authentication information is included in the print data, print the print data in response to an input of the authentication information by the user, and when the instruction unit issues the print instruction after performing authentication operation for authenticating a user and when the determination unit determines that authentication information is included in the print data, print the print data without prompting the user to input authentication information.

Printing apparatus, method for controlling printing apparatus, and storage medium

A host computer acquires a usage amount of a memory of a printing apparatus upon accepting a print instruction, and if the acquired free capacity of the memory is greater than a predetermined value, transmits generated print data based on the accepted print instruction. If the acquired free capacity of the memory is less than the predetermined value, the host computer displays a message before transmitting the print data.

Host computer, print control system, control method for print control system, and program

A control method for a control apparatus includes obtaining an amount of a recording material applied on a first area of a sheet and an amount of a recording material applied on a second area of the sheet on the basis of image data recorded on the sheet stacked on a stacking unit; and performing control, in a case where a plurality of sheets are stacked on the stacking unit, so that a difference between a total amount of the recording material applied on the first area of the sheets and a total amount of the recording material applied on the second area of the sheets does not exceed a predetermined value on the basis of the obtained amount of the recording material. With this method, a limit of the number of stacked sheets is relieved while stability of the stacked sheets is maintained.

Control apparatus, control method for control apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing method of an information processing apparatus that receives a job ticket, includes performing a function according to the job ticket, and determining whether a notification that the process has normally ended is received. In one embodiment, if it is determined that the notification is not received, a JDF analysis/correction unit may search for a confirmed subsequent function in the system based on a system map, and can determine whether there is another apparatus including the subsequent function in the system based on the search result. If the JDF analysis/correction unit determines that there is another apparatus including the subsequent function, the job ticket is updated and transmitted to the subsequent apparatus, along with input data.

Information processing apparatus and method and computer-readable storage medium thereof

Job management information is analyzed to extract post printing process information on a post printing process from the job management information on the basis of the analysis result. A stylesheet corresponding to the extracted post printing process information is selected from a stylesheet storing unit which stores a stylesheet functioning as layout data for laying out and outputting post printing process information in accordance with the output form of an output destination. Work order form data of the corresponding post printing process is generated on the basis of the selected stylesheet and post printing process information.

Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, and program

A character pattern generation apparatus generates a character pattern on the basis of font data in a stroke format. A data generation unit generates character data, character element data, or stroke data on the basis of the font data in the stroke format. A storage unit stores the character data, character element data, or stroke data generated by the data generation unit. A discrimination unit discriminates whether character data, character element data, or stroke data corresponding to a character pattern to be generated is stored in the storage unit. When the discrimination unit determines that character data, character element data, or stroke data corresponding to the character pattern to be generated is stored in the storage unit, a character pattern generation unit generates the character pattern on the basis of the character data, character element data, or stroke data stored in the storage unit.
