An electronic device, a setting method, and an information processing system. The electronic device installs an application, displays on a display, a screen for receiving input of a setting value for a setting item based on setting information that includes one or more setting items for executing the installed application, and control to set the setting value for the setting item received on the screen.

Image forming apparatus, setting method, and information processing system for setting values for installed application

There is provided an image forming apparatus for performing printing in a plurality of colors. The image forming apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive first print data in which an object to be printed in a spot color is designated in a first area in a document to be printed and second print data of the document to be printed from an information processing apparatus; convert the second print data received by the communication unit into image data of a predetermined color; extract an image of the first area from the image data obtained by conversion of the drawing unit; convert the image of the first area extracted by the spot color image control unit into the spot color; and generate image data of the spot color in which the image of the first area converted by the conversion unit is placed.

Apparatus, system, and product for converting designated image area with object for printing in a spot color into printing data

An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit; a data saving unit; a drawing data generating unit; a log storage unit that stores a processing log; an image forming unit; and a data management unit. The data management unit, when the print job is analyzed as a time designated print job; causes the data generating unit to generate the drawing data; causes the data saving unit to save the drawing data; that, when analyzed printing being enabled at the designated print time, causes the image forming unit to perform image formation based on the drawing data and causes the log storage unit to store therein a processing log; and that, when printing is analyzed as disabled at the designated print time, performs processing corresponding to a print disabled state preset and causes the log storage unit to store therein a processing log about the processing.

Image forming apparatus, and computer program product for image forming provided with managing log of a time designated print job

A printing device is connected to a host apparatus and a lower level printing device. When the printing device receives printing target data from the host apparatus, it sends the same printing target data to the lower level printing device. A printing unit prints the printing target data on a recording medium on a page by page basis. A data-delete command issuing unit, for each printed page printed by the printing unit, issues a print data deleting command to the lower level printing device to instruct the lower level printing device to delete a portion of the printing target data corresponding to the printed page.

Network printers having distributed print jobs function and utilizing withhold printing commands

An image forming apparatus can continue an execution of a job without canceling when an error occurs during an image forming operation.

When a storage memory becomes full during processing of printing out of image data read from a page memory and transferred to both a storage memory and a printing portion at the same time for a first copy, a function of an image rotating portion is not effected for copies subsequent to the first copy, and, also, for pages of image data which are stored in the storage memory are printed out, and a page of image data processed at the time the storage memory became full is transferred from the page memory to the printing portion and is printed out.

Image forming apparatus and printer apparatus

An information processing apparatus capable of printing printing information input from the outside of the apparatus using an incorporated printing device, an information processing method for such an apparatus, and a storage medium which stores control programs for such a method are provided. Also provided are an information processing apparatus which satisfies both a request to print printing information input from another information processing apparatus to an incorporated printing device and a request to print printing information formed by itself even if the two requests are simultaneously provided, an information processing method for such an apparatus, and storage medium which stores control programs for such a method.

Information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and

In an information processing apparatus which operates according to an OS (operating system) stored in a ROM or an OS read from the outside, when using the OS read from the outside, an area of an address space occupied by the OS in the ROM is released so that the released area is utilized by another memory.
