A monitoring device includes an acquiring unit, a first determination unit, a second determination unit and a notification unit. The acquiring unit periodically acquires status information from a printer having a consumable. The first determination unit determines a first state transition from an occurrence state of a consumable alarm to a release state of the consumable alarm and a second state transition from the release state of the consumable alarm to the occurrence state of the consumable alarm, based on the status information. If the first state transition is determined, the second determination unit determines, based on the status information, as to whether the determined first state transition is an apparent first state transition or an actual first state transition. If the actual first state transition is determined and then the second state transition is determined, the notification unit notifies an alarm relating to the consumable.

Monitoring device, monitoring method and non-transitory computer readable medium

A job scheduling device that sequentially stores jobs, for which processing requests were received from terminals, in a queue and sequentially processes the jobs held in the queue using a job execution section having a plurality of queues provided corresponding to a status of a sequential job process, a scheduling unit that schedules the jobs using the plurality of queues, wherein each job has associated job information which includes job status information, and a recovery unit that recovers the status of each of the jobs being held in the plurality of queues.

Job scheduling system for print processing

A user equipment issues a job for a plurality of documents to a printing system by one operation. The user equipment assigns attributes to the job, the attributes including the specification of collation/uncollation, the designation of processing start instruction wait, the designation of exclusive processing, and the designation of password input wait. The printing system effects printing of the plurality of documents corresponding to attributes of the documents under control of a job scheduling device. The job scheduling device carries out the pausing of documents included in the job, the modification of attributes, addressing of document receiving failures, and search of a document whose format is to be converted, thereby making it possible to efficiently print the plurality of documents.
