Provided is a technique that can suitably form a cut line. According to one embodiment, an image forming device includes a line information generation unit and an image forming unit. The line information generation unit generates line information representing a cut line to cut out a main image formed on a recording medium. The image forming unit forms the main image with a non-decolorable material on the recording medium and forms the cut line represented by the line information with a decolorable material on the recording medium. The line information generation unit changes a level of curving of a curve included in the cut line, according to the recording medium.

Image forming device and image forming method

According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image reading device, a storage device, and a control unit. The image reading device reads an image on a sheet. The storage device stores information. The control unit that determines a detection area of an encoded image based on a teacher image which is an image read from a predetermined teacher sheet by the image reading device, records information indicating the detection area in the storage device, detects an encoded image in the detection area among the images read from a sheet to be read after the teacher sheet, and decodes the detected encoded image.

Image processing apparatus and method

An image printing apparatus includes a control section configured to receive original image data, analyze the original image data to acquire address information included in the original image data, and generate a two-dimensional code corresponding to the acquired address information. A printer is then controlled to print the generated two-dimensional code and the original image data.

An image processing apparatus includes a scanner, a communication interface, and a controller. The controller is configured to generate property and setting data of image data that is generated based on image scanning by the scanner, and control the communication interface to transmit the image data and the property and setting data thereof to a server connected to the image processing apparatus through a network, so that the image data and the property and setting data thereof are stored therein in association with each other.

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.

Terminal, method of retrieving authentication-related information, and program causing terminal to perform process of retrieving authentication-related information

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

A document priority determination apparatus comprises a program schedule retrieving unit configured to retrieve schedules of programs of an event, a current time detection unit configured to detect a current time, and a priority determination unit configured to set a priority of a document based on the retrieved program schedules and the detected current time.

Document priority determination apparatus and document priority determination method

According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a reception unit, a storage unit, a list sending unit, and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives print data designating a user who is able to execute printing. The storage unit stores the print data received by the reception unit. The list sending unit sends a list of the print data, which the user who is an operator of an image forming apparatus is able to execute, to the image forming apparatus. The transmission unit transmits the print data selected from the list of the print data sent by the list sending unit to the image forming apparatus.

Server apparatus, image forming system, and method of managing print data

According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a scanner, a setting unit, and a control unit. The scanner is configured to read a document. The setting unit is configured to receive an instruction to append a display image to a signature field of a PDF. The control unit is configured to generate the PDF by appending the display image to the signature field, for the document.

Image forming apparatus

According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a storage unit, a transfer unit, and a management unit. The storage unit stores user identification information and an extension condition with information indicating a print job. If the transfer unit receives an inquiry of a print job including user information from an image forming apparatus, the transfer unit transfers the print job corresponding to the user information included in the inquiry to the image forming apparatus as the inquiry sending source from among the print jobs stored in the storage unit. The management unit deletes a print job, to which an extension condition was added, from among the print jobs stored in the storage unit after the elapse time from the print job receiving time point exceeds the preservation period and the extension condition is then further exceeded.

Server apparatus, image forming system, and management method of image forming data

The present invention provides a technique capable of preventing, in a system that transmits a print job from a network terminal to a printing apparatus through a print job managing server, useless consumption of a storage area of the printing apparatus and an unnecessary increase in traffic in a network. A print job managing server includes: a transmission-destination-information acquiring unit configured to acquire job transmission destination information for specifying at least one printing apparatus that is a job transmission destination associated in advance with information concerning a transmission source of a print job; and a job transmitting unit configured to transmit the print job to the printing apparatus, which is the job transmission destination, on the basis of the acquired job transmission destination information.

Transmitting a print job, including destination information, from a network terminal to a printing apparatus through a print server

According to one embodiment, a printing managing apparatus includes a log memory, an allowed amount memory, a counting unit, a calculating unit, and an output unit. The log memory stores, in association with user identification information, information indicating a sheet printed by an image forming apparatus according to an instruction of a user or information indicating a sheet discarded by the user. The allowed amount memory stores allowed amounts of sheets usable by users. The counting unit counts the number of un-discarded sheets among sheets printed by a certain user stored by the log memory. The calculating unit calculates a usage ratio of sheets from the number of un-discarded sheets counted by the counting unit and the allowed amount of sheets for the user stored by the allowed amount memory. The output unit outputs information including the usage ratio of sheets calculated by the calculating unit.
