An image forming apparatus includes a reading section and an image forming section. The reading section reads a plurality of images formed on a document. The image forming section forms the images on a plurality of sheets. The images include a first image having a first color, and one or more second images having a second color differing from the first color. The sheets include a first sheet and a second sheet differing from the first sheet. The image forming section forms the first image on the first sheet and the second images on the second sheet.

In a situation in which an error detecting section detects occurrence of consumable exhaustion during execution of a print job involving multi-page printing and the consumable exhaustion is resolved, a job managing section specifies a user who has resolved the consumable exhaustion. Upon determining that a print job of the specified user is to be executed using a consumable of the same type as the consumable of which exhaustion has occurred, the job managing section inserts the print job of the specified user at an error pause point to cause the printer to perform printing of the print job of the specified user directly after resolution of the consumable exhaustion.

Responding to an instruction accompanied with data having a folder path and a saving period from a computer, a record having the data is added to a saving period table. Responding to an instruction accompanied with a document file and a folder path from the computer, a file registration process is executed wherein a record is added to a file attribution table, the record having a document file path, a total number of pages, a data size, a file registration date, and a scheduled date of file deletion; the document file is stored in the folder; and a thumbnail of the first page of the file is created. Responding to a view instruction from the computer, an HTML file is created by relating records in the file attribution table with respective thumbnails to send it to the computer. Document files whose saving periods have ended are automatically deleted.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory unit connected to the processor. The memory unit stores a setting value and an web application. The web application causes the processor to change the setting value according to a request message from a client. The web application causes the processor to update the setting value stored in the memory unit with a setting value contained in a query string if the request message indicates a request for changing the setting value and the request message is transmitted from the client by a user with administrator privilege, and the web application causes the processor to insert a cookie having the setting value contained in the query string to a response header if the request message is transmitted from the client by a user without administrator privilege.

An image forming device, an image forming method, and a program intended to print out multiple documents of different sizes collectively in one output sheet with a margin upon adjustment of the magnification of the documents to an appropriate size. The image forming device used for combined printing is capable of printing image data obtained from multiple documents into one output sheet which includes a margin generating section for generating a margin area upon the output sheet, a document arranging section that arranges the multiple documents in a document depicting area without the margin area in the output sheet with respect to one corner of the document depicting area as a reference for the purpose of minimizing the generation of blanks, and a magnification processing section that adjusts the magnification of the multiple documents in order to make them fit into the document depicting area.
