A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus and a mobile terminal, wherein when the mobile terminal receives a packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus, it determines whether or not a login condition for transmitting a login request is satisfied based on a received signal strength of the packet, and it transmits the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it determines that the login condition is satisfied, and does not transmit the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it is determines that the login condition is not satisfied.

Communication system, mobile terminal, method of controlling the mobile terminal, and storage medium

A printing apparatus prints based on print data in the first state if printing is executable in the first state, and prints based on the print data in the second state different from the first state if printing is not executable in the first state. When deleting print data which meets a predetermined condition, the printing apparatus specifies print data which meets the predetermined condition, among print data which has been printed in the first state.

Printing apparatus, data control method therein, and storage medium storing program

An image processing apparatus includes a vectorizing unit configured to convert bitmap image data into vectorized data; an integrated document generating unit configured to generate an integrated document which includes the vectorized data and metadata; an accompanying information extraction unit configured to extract one or more of accompanying information relating to the bitmap image data from the bitmap image data; a selection unit configured to select accompanying information meeting conditions which have been defined beforehand out of one or more of accompanying information extracted by the accompanying information extraction unit; and a registration unit configured to register the accompanying information selected by the selection unit as the metadata of the integrated document.

Image processing apparatus and integrated document generating method

An image processing apparatus capable of executing a plurality of types of jobs includes a storage unit configured to store an integrated document including image data and a plurality of types of accompanying information related to the image data, a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction for executing a job for the integrated document stored in the storage unit, a deletion unit configured to delete at least a part of the accompanying information of the integrated document for which the instruction for executing the job is received by the receiving unit if the job for which the instruction for execution is received by the receiving unit is a predetermined type of job, and an execution unit configured to execute the job for which the instruction for execution is received by the receiving unit.

Image processing apparatus and control method therefor

Metadata to be appended to an object in a document is generated. When the user edits the generated metadata, another document including the same object as the object to which the metadata is appended is searched for, and the contents edited by the user are reflected to metadata appended to the object in another searched document.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and medium storing program thereof

An image processing apparatus holds a compressed image without being subjected to edging, or holds an edged image of the image after the image is subjected to edging, depending on predetermined conditions. The image processing apparatus creates an image on the basis of an edged image created from the compressed image held by a holding unit or on the basis of the held edged image held by the holding unit. Therefore, an optimal performance suitable for the capability of the image processing apparatus is realized.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

A printing control method and device for receiving and processing print data including a security level, includes determining the security level of the print data when a predetermine fault occurs during printing processing of the print data and performing different fault recovery processing of the print data in accordance with the determined security level.

Printing control device and method, printing apparatus and method, storage medium storing computer-readable program therein, and computer-readable program

A control technique for communicating communication data including a print data packet and a control data packet in independent communication protocols controls the job for page data being printed obtained from the print packet according to information from the control packet. The type of protocol used in communication with a host computer is identified. The communication data that is received according to the type of protocol is sorted by the type of data, namely, into the control data packet and print data packet. A formatter analyzer analyze the print data and converts it into bit map data printable on a printer engine. A control command analyzer executes a predetermined command.

System for controlling communication between a printer and an external host computer

An output method and apparatus, a storage medium, and an output control program product are provided for sequentially receiving a plurality of control information for setting an output environment based on externally supplied data, and controlling the setting of the output environment in accordance with the first received control information.

System for replacing control information in a printer according to

A character image processing apparatus so adapted that when a typeface and size are specified at generation of a character image, a font of a specific typeface and of a size within predetermined selection limits of a specified size is retrieved from pre-rasterized fonts already developed as bitmap data and stored. In a case where a character image is generated from this font, the character will be generated at a position offset from the position the character of the specified size would have originally occupied. Accordingly, position is corrected in such a manner that the center of the position which a character would have originally occupied and the position of the center of the character generated from the pre-rasterized font will coincide. Further, the selection limits are decided using sizes midway between a stored pre-rasterized font and character sizes one size larger and one size smaller than that of this pre-rasterized font as boundaries.

Character image processing apparatus and method

In an information processing apparatus for causing a printer to execute a printing operation by registering a font therein, there is disclosed a configuration allowing the information processing apparatus to manage the font to be registered in the printer thereby preventing the failure in the printing operation. The information processing apparatus issues a command for reserving a memory for font registration in the printer, then calculates the available capacity based on the reserved memory capacity at the transfer of the font to the printer, and executes transfer or deletion of the font based on thus calculated available capacity.

Information processing apparatus which secures an exclusive memory for

An output method and apparatus is provided for storing first control information for controlling an output operation based on externally supplied data and for storing command information for commanding modification of the first control information to second control information that is different from the first control information, and for modifying the first control information to the second control information to control the output operation based on the second control information in accordance with the stored command information, wherein the output operation can be executed based on the first control information.
