An image forming method includes ejecting an ink composition including a volatile organic solvent with a solubility parameter of 20 MPato 25 MPa, acid-functionalized polymer colloid particles with a glass transition temperature of 25&#xb0; C. to 85&#xb0; C., and a pigment with a surface at least a part of which is coated with a polymer, onto a non-porous substrate by an ink jet method to form an image, and the absolute value of the difference between the solubility parameter of the non-porous substrate and the solubility parameter of the volatile organic solvent of the ink composition falls within 15 MPa.

A device information management apparatus for processing a report from a device management client during a failure of a transaction system is disclosed. The device information management apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive the report from the device management client; a determining unit configured to determine whether to process the report based on an importance level of the report and a load (workload) level of the device information management apparatus; a processing unit configured to process the report if the determining unit determines to process the report; and a discarding unit configured to discard the report if the determining unit determines not to process the report.

Device information management apparatus, device information management method, and storage medium which operates during a failure

An ink composition is disclosed which includes a pigment that is coated with a water-insoluble resin, particles of a water-insoluble polymer having a glass transition temperature of 100&#xb0; C. or higher, a solid moistening agent, a water-soluble organic solvent, particles of a wax having a melting point of from 40&#xb0; C. to lower than 100&#xb0; C., and water.

Ink composition and image forming method

A charge managing system including an image forming apparatus and a charge managing server is provided. The image forming apparatus includes plural applications each configured for executing a specific process on input data, a counter unit that counts a number of result items output as a result of executing at least one of the applications, a count value storage unit that stores a count value corresponding to the number of result items counted by the counter unit, and a storage area setting unit that secures a plurality of storage areas within the count value storage unit each of which storage areas is configured for storing a corresponding count value obtained for each of the applications. The charge managing server manages charging a fee for using the image forming apparatus based on the corresponding count value stored in each of the storage areas secured for each of the applications.

Charge managing system, image forming apparatus, charge managing server, and image forming method

An access control list, indicating contents of user operatable authorization, is set in an electronic file or folder stored in a document management server. The server receives from MFP a registering electronic file, location information of the electronic file and destination information including a notification destination user to which registration is notified. If no notification destination user is registered in ACL, the server transmits the notification of registration and the electronic file to PC of the notification destination user and receives a notification of electronic file reception from PC. The server sends the user in ACL a notification of notification destination user's reception of electronic file. In the case of multiple received electronic files and destination information, the server creates an acknowledgement mail describing link destination information specifying storage locations of electronic files, and transmits the mail to a transmission destination specified by destination information according to a designation signal.

Document management server, document managing method, and program

The ink set for inkjet recording of the invention has at least: an aqueous ink composition containing at least a pigment; and a reaction liquid containing at least a reactant that produces an aggregate when contacted with the aqueous ink composition. The static surface tension of the reaction liquid is 40 mN/m or higher. The dynamic surface tension &#x3b3;0.1 is from 40 mN/m to 50 mN/m and the ratio &#x3b3;0.1/&#x3b3;10, that is a ratio of the dynamic surface tension and is sometimes referred to as &#x3b3;, is from 1.01 to 1.10, in which the dynamic surface tension of the reaction liquid at a surface lifetime of 100 ms and 10000 ms is &#x3b3;0.1 and &#x3b3;10, respectively, according to the maximum bubble pressure technique. The aqueous ink composition aggregates by contacting the reaction liquid to form an image.

Ink set for inkjet recording

When a certain file is updated, a document management server determines whether a 'registration state information mail' is set for that file, and after that, performs 'self information mail' setting processing. Computer requests the document management server to transmit an electronic file, and prints and displays the electronic file according to an operation definition corresponding to the file format of the received electronic file. MFP inquires whether the document to be displayed is an electronic file stored in the document management server or an electronic file recorded on an external storage medium. Further, in response to an operation of a touch panel, MFP changes a magnifying power of display data, and rotates an image to change the direction by setting the central position of the rotation to a display center of an image being currently displayed.
