An information processing system includes an information management apparatus that accepts image generation requests and an image generation section that generates image data, which is provided independently of the information management apparatus. The information management apparatus issues a job ID in response to a print request from a client, and transmits the job ID and a URL of the image generation apparatus to the client. Based on the URL, the client directly requests the image generation apparatus for image data corresponding to the job ID.

Generating image data in accordance with identification information

Information processing method, information processing apparatus and program for obtaining image generation data based on specified identification information

Apparatus, system, method, and storage medium for managing and generating print data

Information processing method, information processing apparatus and program for generating and printing data

In a system for transmitting print data from a server apparatus for forming the print data to a client apparatus and performing print based on the print data, it is an object of the invention to improve security of printed matter by inhibiting reprint using the print data stored in the client apparatus and improve operability upon reprinting.

Data processing method, program, and data processing system for reprinting template and slip data

There is disclosed a network print system which aims at printing high-quality image data of, e.g., a form or the like generated using a Web browser. When a form image is displayed on a Web browser of a client, and its print process is instructed, the instruction is sent to a server. The server searches a form template storage unit for an appropriate template, merges it with data by an image generation unit, converts the merged data into PDL data by a print output unit, and prints the converted data as a high-quality image from a printer.

Network print system, and information processing apparatus and its control method

It is desirable for a user to perform optimum printing business in an environment of a print system used by the user, without being conscious of a function of forming document printing data by a server and a function of forming the document printing data by a client. If software for the function of forming the document printing data by the client is installed in a terminal of the client operated by the user, document-form data and document data are distributed from the server to the client in order to use the function.

Print system and information processing apparatus

A network print system which aims at printing high-quality image data of a form is generated using a Web browser. In response to a request from a client to print or to display a document, a server merges an appropriate template with the variable data to produce print data or display data, as the case may be; however, based on whether certain authorization or restriction conditions are applicable to the request being processed, the server in an appropriate case inhibits generation of print data or display data, so that the print request or display request is not fulfilled.

Network print system for merging data with template data for printing or display, subject to applicable restrictions

In order to make a display of a mail text easy to observe, the size of characters assigned in the mail text is checked, and if the size is not within a predetermined allowable range, the text is displayed on a display device using a font such that the size of characters is within the allowable range. A similar processing is also performed when reproducing voice information added to a mail text.

Electronic mail apparatus and a method for operating the same

An image processing apparatus such as a facsimile comprises: a recognizing circuit to recognize special pattern information such as a mark in reception image data; a converter to convert the result of the recognition by the recognizing circuit into the index information corresponding to image information in the reception image data; and a memory to store the index information converted by the converter and the image information so as to correspond to one another. When the user at a remote location wants to obtain image data, the image data can be transmitted from the electronic file system without needing any operator of the file system.
