A server apparatus includes a storage medium configured to store print target data and information indicating whether the print target data has been printed and a processor configured to determine, based on the stored information, whether there is print target data that has not been printed by a printing apparatus and transmit the print target data to the printing apparatus, in a case that it is determined that there is the print target data that has not been printed by the printing apparatus.

An image forming system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an image distribution device and a printing device. The image distribution device distributes print image data, which includes frame image data including an image applied commonly to a plurality of print materials and variable data including information changed on a print material basis, to an external device via a network. The frame image data is configured to enable a setting that a special color setting is required. When the setting indicating that a special color setting is required is made for the frame image data, the printing device uses a color profile associated with the setting to combine the frame image data and the variable data and form the print image.

Image forming system, that includes an image distribution device, printing device, control method of printing device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An apparatus prints images for a density adjustment on a plurality of sheets, reads the image on a sheet printed later among the plurality of printed sheets, determines a representative value by carrying out a calculation from at least a first density value read from an image at a predetermined position on a first sheet and a second density value read from an image at the predetermined position on a second sheet, which are printed later, and performs a print density adjustment using the determined representative density and a target density.

Apparatus and method to print patch images for a density adjustment on sheets

A discharge system includes: a reader unit configured to obtain read images corresponding to images of a plurality of pages by reading printed sheets of a printing job for printing the plurality of pages; a detection unit configured to detect a printing failure of each of the printed sheets using the read images; and a discharge unit configured to discharge each of the printed sheets in a discharge mode that depends on a detection result of the printing failure. The discharge unit discharges one or more printed sheets to a first discharge destination in a first discharge mode until the printing failure is detected, discharges a failure sheet in a second discharge mode in response to the printing failure being detected, and discharges a reprinted sheet on which the same page as the failure sheet is printed to the first discharge destination.

Even when a binding process for binding a plurality of sheets without using a staple is performed after performing printing on both faces of the sheets, the binding process can be performed so that the bound sheets are not easily separated. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, comprises: performing a binding process for binding, without using a staple, a sheet on which an image is printed based on image data; specifying an area where the binding process is to be performed, the area being included in the image data; deleting image data of the specified area; and printing the image on the sheet based on the image data on which deleting is performed.

An information processing method to be executed by a processor executing instructions in a memory, the information processing method includes allocating, in a first area of the storage area, an area having a predetermined size to an application, determining whether an processing area to be used when processing of the application is executed in the first area, and upon condition that it is determined that the processing is able to be reserved in the first area, reserving the processing area in the first area as the allocated area having the predetermined size to an application, and upon condition that it is determined that the processing area is not able to be reserved in the first area, trying to reserve the processing area in a second area in the storage area, and performing notification upon condition that the processing is not able to be reserved in the second area.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus which is capable of running appropriately an application corresponding to designated URL information. An operating unit receives an instruction to perform installation of an additional application different from an installed application. A CPU obtains URL information on the additional application and determines whether or not the URL information on the additional application corresponds to URL information on the installed application. In a case where the URL information on the additional application corresponds to the URL information on the installed application, one of the additional application and the installed application is set to an enabled state.

Information processing apparatus that installs application modules, control method therefor, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus which is capable of reducing situations in which a job cannot be executed because resources are being in use for another job. The image processing apparatus has a soft codec unit that carries out an encoding process on image data, and a hard codec unit that carries out an encoding process on the image data at high speed compared with the soft codec unit. When a second job received while the hard codec unit is in use for a first job for which use of the soft codec unit is allowed requires use of the hard codec unit, control is provided to switch a codec unit for use in the first job from the hard codec unit to the soft codec unit.

Image processing apparatus that carries out facsimile communications, control method therefor, and storage medium

Provided is an image processing system which reduces the load of destination registration on the user. To accomplish this, in an image processing system including a PC () and device () connected to a network, the PC () has a transfer unit () which transfers identification data of the PC () to the device (), and the device () has a scanner unit () which scans an image and outputs the image data, a memory () which stores a destination of the output image data from the scanner unit (), a transfer unit () which transfers the image data to the destination stored in the memory (), and a registration unit () which receives the identification data transferred by the transfer unit (), and registers the received identification data as a destination of image data in the memory ().

Image processing system including image processing device and information processing device which communicate with each other

An image forming apparatus which appropriately avoids a resource conflict in the image forming apparatus. A checking unit checks whether a type of an application program execution of which has been ordered is a specific type. A control unit allows execution of a job issued by the application program the type of which has been determined as being the specific type, and restricts execution of a job issued by the application program the type of which has been determined as not being the specific type.

Printing apparatus that performs a binding process without using a staple

This invention prevents repetitive storage of identical character string data, and efficiently uses a storage area. To accomplish this, a facsimile apparatushas an NICas a network interface, and also has a display unitas a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main body controllerincluding a memory as a storage means for storing character string data, a display controlleras an image generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the character string data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a display data generating means for generating an HTML file as display data described in a markup language by using the character string data stored in the memory, in accordance with a browsing request input via the network interface.
