An operation unit in a child device causes a main unit in the child device to execute a stand-alone job, and causes the main unit and a server device to execute a cooperating job. The main unit executes the stand-alone job every time it is requested, and generates and manages a stand-alone job log including stand-alone job log identification information. The server device controls the execution of stand-alone jobs included in the cooperating job based on a request for executing the cooperating job, and manages cooperating job identification information associated with the stand-alone job log identification information of the stand-alone jobs included in the cooperating job. The server device acquires the stand-alone job logs from the main unit and extracts the stand-alone job logs including the stand-alone job log identification information associated with the cooperating job identification information, to generate a cooperating job log corresponding to the cooperating job.

Cooperative system, information processing apparatus, and computer program product

An operating information storing system includes a master apparatus and multiple slave apparatuses. The master apparatus and each slave apparatus respectively include a first processor. The master apparatus includes a nonvolatile memory, the first processor that acquires operating information generated by each slave apparatus, stores the acquired operating information, and determines if at least one operating information indicates specific operating information, and a first transmitter. Each slave apparatus includes a volatile memory, a second processor to store generated operating information in the volatile memory sequentially, and a second transmitter that transfers the operating information stored in the volatile memory to the master apparatus. The second processor stores the specific operating information in the volatile memory until the second transmitter transfers the generated specific operating information to the master apparatus based on the request transferred by the first transmitter in the master apparatus if the specific operating information is generated.

Operating information storing system, operating information storing method, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an operating information storing method for storing information from volatile memory to non-volatile memory

The printing system according to the present invention includes a specifying unit configured to specify specified data from print object data of a print job containing the print object data and a print setting of the print object data, the specified data representing the print object data to be printed; a partial extraction unit configured to extract the specified data and a partial print setting from the print job, the partial print setting representing the print setting to be applied to the specified data; a job generation unit configured to newly generate a print job containing the specified data and the partial print setting; and a printing unit configured to print an image based on the generated print job.

Printing system, printing method and computer-readable recording medium

An information processing apparatus stores function information that identifies, for each one of a plurality of functions, one or more devices capable of performing the function, receives a user instruction for executing a job from a first device of the plurality of devices, the user instruction instructing execution of at least one function that cannot be performed by the first device, identifies a second device of the plurality of devices that is capable of performing the at least one function of the user instruction using the function information, and controls the second device to transition from a power save mode to a normal operating mode, while keeping devices other than the second device to be in the power save mode.

Apparatus, system, and method of controlling power supply, and recording medium storing power supply control program

A computer readable information recording medium stores a preview display program that performs, when executed by one or more processors, functions of a part configured to determine setting information for imposition type; a part configured to determine setting information for finishing; and a part configured to display preview images for a state after bookbinding in a case where the setting information for imposition type, determined by the part configured to determine setting information for imposition type, includes a setting of magazine or mini book and the setting information for finishing, determined by the part configured to determine setting information for finishing, includes a setting for carrying out the bookbinding, and display preview images for a state before the bookbinding in the other cases.

Computer readable information recording medium storing preview display program, preview display apparatus and preview display method

A print control device includes a prohibition determination unit, when a first sheet size of a sheet stored in a printing device is different from a second sheet size designated by an operator, preventing, when determining that the second sheet size of the sheet can be generated by cutting the sheet having the first sheet size, an execution of a post process function other than cutting in the printing device; and a workflow generation unit generating a workflow including operational steps of causing a cutting device to cut the sheet having the first sheet size to obtain the sheet having the second sheet size, and causing a functional device other than the cutting device to perform the post process function on the printing output after cutting the sheet having the first sheet size.

Recording medium having post-processing prohibition program stored thereon, print control device, and print control system
