Abstract:
Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a command receiving unit that receives a print command, a detector that detects a state of the operation unit, and a controller. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be terminated. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be executed.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus stores billing information depending on a formation and output of an image. The apparatus includes a page information acquiring unit that acquires page information written in PDL, a page information analysis unit that analyzes the page information and outputs a drawing command for performing the formation and output of the image for each of a plurality of regions divided from a unit page, a drawing information generating unit that generates drawing information for performing the formation and output of the image on the basis of the drawing command, a billing amount determining unit that judges whether an image to be drawn is contained in each of the divided regions and determines a billing amount for each divided region on the basis of the judgment result, and a billing information storage unit that stores information of the determined billing amount.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a communication interface configured to couple to a network, and a printing unit configured to process print data received via the communication interface. Also provided is a registration unit configured to register a plurality of user information for a plurality of users, each of the plurality of user information including hierarchy information corresponding to one of the plurality of users. The image forming apparatus further includes a managing unit configured to determine if operations of the image forming apparatus requested by the plurality of users are executable based on the corresponding hierarchy information. The managing unit is also configured to manage a verification process for the plurality of users based on the corresponding hierarchy information.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes: a storage control unit that stores, in a storage medium, device number information for identifying the information processing apparatus and a consumables list of consumables available in the information processing apparatus identified by the device number information; and a processing unit that acquires the consumables list from an order receiving server via a network, causes the consumables list to be displayed, and send order information received from the user to the order receiving server when being connected to the network, causes the consumables list to be displayed and causes the storage control unit to store order information received from the user when being not connected to the network, and sends the order information stored to the order receiving server when the information processing apparatus is recovered from a state of being not connected to the network to a state of being connected to the network.

Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus that receives print data from an external device and prints out the print data in response to a print command, a searching unit that searches, when new print data is received from the external device, a storage unit storing therein the print data that includes user information for previous print data that includes user information same as that of the new print data; and a notifying unit that sends, when the searching unit finds the previous print data, a notice to the external device saying that the previous print data is still present in the storage unit.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus which requests authentication for login processing based on user information when a user requests specific processing includes a communication interface for receiving data, a print mechanism for performing printing processing on data, a registration mechanism for registering a plurality of user information, a storage mechanism for storing an access control list and an administration mechanism. The administration mechanism administers login processing of a plurality of users based on hierarchy information of the registered users and registered contents of the access control list, and to administer permission of the operation processing requested by the user. When the user instructs specific processing of data which is a guest job having no authentication information, the processing of the data is carried out.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus includes a memory unit configured to store data received from an information processing apparatus, a receiving unit configured to receive operation requests, though respective interfaces, with respect to the data stored in the memory unit, an authenticating unit configured to authenticate a requester of an operation request, an operation performing unit configured to perform an operation according to an operation request received by the receiving unit only if the authentication unit successfully authenticates a requester of the operation request when the data on which the operation is performed requires authentication, and an operation prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the operation performing unit from performing a first operation corresponding to a first requester on given data until a second operation is completed if the authenticating unit successfully authenticates a second requester requesting the second operation to be performed on the given data.
Abstract:
An information processing system includes circuitry that acquires input information input to a terminal apparatus, the terminal apparatus operating a message exchange program, determines, based on the input information being acquired, whether or not a condition as a trigger for calling an information processing service is satisfied, changes, based on the determination that the condition as the trigger for calling the information processing service is satisfied, a status of the message exchange program into a status that exchanges a message with the information processing service, acquires, based on the message to the information processing service, electronic information used for information processing, and requests an information apparatus to execute the information processing using the electronic information being acquired.
