A display device notifies a server device of identification information for specifying an electronic file to be displayed. The server device specifies the electronic file and page information based on the notified identification information to transmit the electronic file and the page information to the display device. The display device displays, as an initial screen, a specified page of the received electronic file based on the received electronic file and page information.

Electronic file display system

An image formation device configured such that printing of only some pages of print data including multiple pages is able to be designated. The device includes a first storage configured to hold print data in a page description language (PDL) format in a storage unit such that after printing has been performed not to include a specific page, further printing including the specific page is executable, and a second storage configured to hold print data in the PDL format in the storage unit such that after printing has been performed not to include the specific page, further printing including the specific page is not executable.

Printing apparatus and method for setting and storing print job condition

A printer that executes printing based on a print job receives from a computer a first print job for printing a plurality of copies, wherein, from a plurality of sheet holding units, a different sheet holding unit can be respectively specified for each copy of the plurality of copies, and a second print job for printing one copy, displays that a received print job is a print job for printing a plurality of copies, wherein, from the plurality of sheet holding units, the different sheet holding unit can be respectively specified for each copy of the plurality of copies, and receives, from a user, an instruction to change the number of copies of the received print job. The number of copies to be printed by executing the received second print job can be changed based on the instruction, and the number of copies to be printed by executing the received first print job cannot be changed.

Control apparatus,executing printing of a print job,control method,and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

A printer that executes printing based on a print job includes a memory containing instructions, and at least one processor for executing the instructions to operate as a first receiving unit configured to receive from a computer a print job instructing the printer to print a plurality of copies using a plurality of feeding trays, with a different feeding tray instructed to be used for each of the copies, a display unit configured to display the number of copies of the print job, and a second receiving unit configured to receive an instruction from a user to change the displayed number of copies of the print job. In addition, instructions are executed to operate as a cancelling unit configured to cancel, based on the changed number of copies, the print job, the number of copies of which has been instructed to be changed.

An image forming apparatus used in an image forming system including an operation panel, a printer engine, and a hard disk drive (HDD) for storing print data for forming an image according to a print instruction, out of print data received from an external apparatus, stores a particular reservation print job in the HDD, and upon receiving a print job of the same user as that of the particular reservation job, reserves the print job.

Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An image forming system includes a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus. The mobile terminal obtains a list related to document data from the image forming apparatus, receives, from a user, a selection of document data via the list to create selected document data, transmits information indicating the selected document data to the image forming apparatus, causes a display device to display a preview image based on the preview image data, accepts print setting information and a print instruction of the document data corresponding to the preview image, and transmits the print setting information and the print instruction of the document data to the image forming apparatus. The mobile terminal sets the print setting information and transmits the print instruction of the selected document data to the image forming apparatus without receiving the selected document data from the image forming apparatus.

A display list generation apparatus includes an interpretation unit configured to interpret page description language (PDL) data and store an interpretation result of the PDL data in a first storage unit, a copying unit configured to copy the interpretation result stored in the first storage unit, in a second storage unit, and a generation unit configured to generate a display list from the interpretation result stored in the first storage unit in a case where a data size of the interpretation result exceeds a predetermined threshold and generate a display list from the copy of the interpretation result stored in the second storage unit in a case where the data size of the interpretation result does not exceed the predetermined threshold.

Display list generation apparatus

A job processing system includes a job processing apparatus, a mobile information terminal, and an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus transmit a job to the job processing apparatus, which stores the job. Information of the stored job is transmitted to the mobile information terminal. The job processing apparatus authenticates a user who logs in the job processing apparatus. The received job information is displayed by the mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal selects a job to be executed by the job processing apparatus via a plurality of information pieces of displayed jobs. In response to that a user is authenticated by the authentication unit, the instruction unit instructs the job processing apparatus to execute the selected job in association with identification information of the user. The job processing apparatus executes the job instructed and associated with the identification information in response to that the user is authenticated.

In an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a printing apparatus in which a print job including drawing data and a print setting is stored, and a method of controlling the same, when an image of a logical page unit generated based on the drawing data included in the print job is received from the printing apparatus, the received image of the logical page unit is stored. When the print setting included in the print job is changed, the stored image of the logical page unit of the print job is used to generate an image of a physical page unit based on the changed print setting, and that generated image of the physical page unit is preview-displayed.

A printing apparatusperforms print processing for a PDF file received via a communication unit. The printing apparatusincludes a CPUand a HDDstoring the PDF file. The CPUcontrols the HDD, secures a storage area corresponding to a maximum size of the PDF file that can be processed by the printing apparatuseach time reception of the PDF file is started, and sequentially stores PDF files received for each secured storage area. The CPUupdates a size of the secured storage area from the maximum size of the PDF file that can be processed by the printing apparatusto an actual size of the PDF file having been received completely. The CPUperforms control so that the PDF files stored in the HDDare processed in an order of reception start.

Generating a display list for processing by a rendering unit

An image forming apparatus specifies as a blank area an area where a drawing object different from a latent image and a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern background image is removed from a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in a first page when printing is instructed, and lays out a drawing object of a second page in the specified blank area.

Document data to be printed is decided from document data of a plurality of pages, based on an inclination of an information processing apparatus detected by a sensor for detecting the inclination of the information processing apparatus. The decided document data to be printed is transmitted to a printing apparatus in accordance with an instruction to transmit the document data to be printed to the printing apparatus.
