A layout apparatus lays out a document by referencing personal information registered on a per user basis. Even if no particular print setting is input for a print job by a user, excellent prints customized for each user are thus provided.

Layout apparatus, layout method, and program product

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus and an image processing method for reducing burden of managing documents on a user, the burden being caused when image data is retransmitted and when both a previously transmitted document and the retransmitted document are stored. To accomplish this, a user selects a transmitted document from a transmission history stored in an image processing apparatus and requests a processing status of the selected document to an image processing apparatus on a receiver side. The image processing apparatus on the receiver side determines the processing status, puts output restrictions on the selected document, and transmits the determination result. The image processing apparatus on the transmitter side receives the response and transmits replacing image data. The image processing apparatus on the receiver side replaces the previously received document with the replacing image data and cancels the output restrictions.

Image processing system, image processing apparatus, and control method and program therefor

During print processing based on print data from host computer,, if memory shortage occurs in RAM,, information on the occurrence of memory shortage, memory-use status and the like is sent to the host computer,. The host computer,receives the information and allocates a storage area in the RAM,based on the information. Form information and the like, registered in the RAM,are transferred to the host computer and saved in the allocated storage area, thus expanding an available area of the RAM,for printing. When the print processing has been completed, the completion of printing is notified to the host computer,, so that the saved information is transferred from the host computer,, and stored into the RAM
