An information processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a user interface of an application, wherein the user interface includes an object for displaying a user interface of a printer driver. The apparatus further includes a receiving unit configured to receive default values of print settings via the user interface of the printer driver displayed by designating the object. A creation unit is configured to create a file for installing a customized printer driver based on the received default values, wherein a user interface of the customized printer driver installed using the created file is displayed based on the received default values.

Information processing apparatus and method

There is disclosed an information processing method including: a step of displaying a setting window, which includes customizable items, of a device driver; a step of registering items set using the setting window as customized items; a step of writing the customized items in user interface-related data of the device driver; and a user interface display step of displaying a user interface of the device driver with reference to the user interface-related data upon launching the device driver.

An image forming apparatus, in a case where a print setting for printing an image on a preprinted surface of a preprinted sheet has been set and a surface of the sheet read by a reading unit is a preprinted surface, executes printing on the sheet. The image forming apparatus, in a case where a print setting for printing an image on an unprinted surface of a preprinted sheet has been set and a surface of the sheet read by the reading unit is not a preprinted surface, executes printing on the sheet.

Image forming apparatus, control method for image forming apparatus, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus and method for reading an image of a document and preventing an image from being printed on the document if a sheet type of the document is not suitable for printing. The method includes reading an image of a conveyed document, detecting a sheet type of the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is the predetermined sheet type, an image to be printed on the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is not a predetermined sheet type, an image not to be printed on the conveyed document.

Image forming apparatus, control method of image forming apparatus, and storage medium

A printing apparatus capable of connecting a post-processing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to convey an envelope so that the long edge of the envelope can become a leading edge in conveyance direction and print an image on the envelope. When the post-processing apparatus is connected, the printing apparatus restricts from conveying the envelope so that the long edge of the envelope becomes the leading edge in conveyance direction for printing the image on the envelope.

Printing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium storing program

According to the present invention, even if information on a page displayed on a browser browsed by a user shifts to another page, the user can select and store a necessary page. An information processing apparatus according to the present invention generates, when displaying information obtained via a network on a display unit, print information of the information displayed on the display unit based on a print instruction from the browser, and further stores the generated print information in a storage unit. When a destination from which the information is obtained is different from a just primarily preceding destination, the display unit displays a list of the information stored in the storage unit.

Information processing apparatus and data processing method for generating print information based on a print instruction from a browser

In a wizard process used by a printer driver, a screen to be displayed is dynamically produced in accordance with device function information provided by the printer driver and a setting value input by a user. In this technique, it is not necessary to separately prepare wizard programs for respective printer drivers, which makes it possible to develop the wizard program in a highly efficient and easy manner.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program

A printing apparatus capable of connecting a post-processing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to convey an envelope so that the long edge of the envelope can become a leading edge in conveyance direction and print an image on the envelope. When the post-processing apparatus is connected, the printing apparatus restricts from conveying the envelope so that the long edge of the envelope becomes the leading edge in conveyance direction for printing the image on the envelop.

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus, which is configured to customize a device driver that is adapted to control a printer, by setting a property. The information processing apparatus includes a specifying unit adapted to specify a plurality of device drivers, and a setting unit adapted to set, in response to one device-driver customization instruction, property information, which corresponds to a device driver, in the plurality of device drivers specified by the specifying unit.

Information processing apparatus and method, program, and storage medium

At the time of processing on print data created by a client computer, in a case where a server computer obtains information that should be notified to the client computer, the server computer adds a message to the print data to be sent to a device. In a case where the print data is added with the message, the device creates the message to be sent to the server computer. The server computer sends the message to the client computer. The client computer displays an image based on the message.

Print processing system and print processing method

A recording head comprises an ink container, an energy generating device for discharging ink from the ink container, an ink discharge section corresponding to the energy generating device and a covering member that covers the ink discharge section and an atmosphere-communicating opening for the ink container, wherein when the recording head is out of recording, a small opening communicating with the atmosphere-communicating opening, or a valve member capable of opening or closing in accordance with an internal pressure change, or an internal pressure change-absorbing member capable of absorbing an internal pressure change by changing its volume is provided on said covering member at a position corresponding to the atmosphere-communicating opening.

Ink jet head having sealing member with opening

An adhesive sheet-type sealing member is suitably used for protecting ink-ejecting nozzles or a communication hole of an ink-jet recording head during transportation or storage. The sealing member exhibits a yield point at a load of not more than 1 kgf/cm for a specimen of 10 mm wide at a stress rate of 200 mm/min .+-.10% according to JIS-K-7113 and/or exhibits a folding load of not more than 0.10 g/cm for a specimen of 10 mm wide with a free length of 10 mm from the end of a specimen holder measured on the center of an electronic balance placed at a position 5 mm apart from the end of the specimen holder.

Sealing member for ink cartridge

An ink-jet recording head has ejection outlets formed by treating a face of a plate for the ejection outlets with a water-repellent and irradiating the plate with a laser beam from the backside of the plate. The head is provided with a sealing member for sealing the ejection outlets. The water-repellent has a hardness of higher than the pencil hardness 6B at room temperature. A decomposition product layer is formed on the layer of the water repellent at peripheral portions of the ejection outlets.

Ink-jet recording head

A sealing mechanism for an ink-jet recording head provided with an acrylate copolymer obtained by crosslinking an acrylic copolymer with isocyanate, the acrylic copolymer being obtained by using at least 80 wt % of a total content of an alkyl acrylate having a OH group and/or an alkoxy alkyl acrylate having an OH group, and an acrylate having a side chain of an alkyl or alkoxy alkyl group having 4 to 9 carbon atoms, wherein the acrylate copolymer is substantially free of any polymer or a residual monomer having a molecular weight of 10,000 or less.
