Cloud data storing of property and setting data of image data

According to one embodiment, there is provided a terminal that includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores authentication-related information indicating that a first cloud completes approval of authentication, which is acquired by a terminal from the first cloud that transmits an instruction to perform a job to a job-performing apparatus of which registration is completed based on an instruction from the terminal, if the registration of the job-performing apparatus is completed. The processor retains the authentication-related information in a storage area if the job-performing apparatus is registered with the first cloud, and, if the authentication-related information is not present in the memory after the approval by the first cloud, acquires the authentication-related information from the storage area.

According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a processor, a network interface and a display device. The network interface under processor control acquires identification information of a different image forming apparatus on which a user is determined to have use authority based on user identification information of the user. The network interface under processor control also acquires an image forming job registered with the different image forming apparatus based on the acquired identification information of the different image forming apparatus. The display device under processor control displays the image forming job acquired by the network interface.

Image forming apparatus, system, and control method

In general, according to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a display unit, an operation input unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and an image forming unit. The operation input unit receives an operation input. The storage unit stores function restriction instruction content that disables setting and use of a predetermined function related to printing, so as to correspond to a sheet handling method after image formation. The control unit displays a setting screen for setting each function related to printing and selecting the sheet handling method on the display unit, acquires the function restriction instruction content corresponding to the selected sheet handling method from the storage unit when the sheet handling method is selected, displays the setting screen in which setting and use of the predetermined function are disabled on the display unit on the basis of the acquired function restriction instruction content, and receives print setting on the setting screen. The image forming unit is controlled by the control unit on the basis of the setting received on the setting screen and forms an image on a sheet.

A document distribution server includes a first communication interface that receives printing data corresponding to a document, a processor that generates image data corresponding to the document, based on the received printing data, a memory that stores the received printing data and the generated image data, and a second communication interface that distributes the generated image data in response to a request for a document which corresponds to the generated image data stored in the memory.

Document distribution server and document distribution method

A determination apparatus comprises a memory and a controller. The memory stores the area data of a plurality of areas divided in a specific form. The controller acquires a scanned image after an erasing processing is carried out for a sheet on which the specific form is printed, determines the state of the sheet subjected to the erasing processing by differing a threshold value for each image area associated with the area data and determines whether or not the sheet is reusable based on the result of the determination.

A mark forming apparatus according to the present embodiment includes an image acquisition portion, a calculation portion, a detection portion, and a formation portion. The image acquisition portion scans and acquires an image formed on a sheet. The calculation portion calculates a color material attachment amount of the image from the image acquired by the image acquisition portion. The detection portion detects a predetermined mark which is already formed on the sheet. The formation portion forms a predetermined mark with a shape according to the color material attachment amount calculated by the calculation portion on the sheet in addition to the existing predetermined mark detected by the detection portion.

A system includes a receiving unit and a controller. The receiving unit receives data about the number of processes performed in an image forming unit to form an image with a decolorable color material and data about the number of processes performed in a decolorizing unit to decolorize an image formed with the decolorable color material. Based on the data received by the receiving unit the controller calculates the number of media in user's use in a condition after they are subjected to image formation by the image forming unit and before they are decolorized by the decolorizing unit. The controller deters image formation by the image forming unit if the number of the media in user's use exceeds a first threshold, and allows the image forming unit to form an image if the number of the media in user's use does not exceed the first threshold.
