A shipping assistance device which enables a delivery service operator to quickly confirm that the size of an item has been properly measured and there is no need to re-measure the size, and proceed to operations for transportation, comprises a table to place items, upper and side shooting devices for shooting images of an item on the table, a storage chamber for storing items, front-facing and upward-facing displays a printer for printing a shipping label, and a processing controller configured to measure the size of the item on the table based on shot images, determine if the item is acceptable to be put in the storage chamber based on the measured size, display a determination result on the displays, and when the item is determined acceptable, instruct the printer to print a shipping label with an acceptance signature for the item.

Provided is an electronic apparatus comprising a main body and a kit connected to the main body, wherein the main body comprises a battery, a first motor, an electric wire connected to the battery and a first controller connected to the electric wire, wherein the kit comprises a second motor supplied with power through the electric wire and a second controller connected to the electric wire, wherein the first controller comprises a first signal generator configured to generate a signal to be transmitted to the kit and a first modulator configured to modulate the signal generated by the first signal generator, and wherein the signal modulated by the first modulator is transmitted to the second controller through the electric wire.

To make it possible for a user to easily grasp, at the time of selection of a measuring device and a chart, which are necessary for color verification of a printer, whether or not it is possible to use them. Based on a chart configuration information indicating the configuration of a chart on which a color patch is arranged and specification information indicating specifications of a measuring device that is used for colorimetry of the color patch, determination processing to check whether it is possible to perform colorimetry is performed. Then, results of the determination processing are output to be presented to a user.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: display on a device a flow list of flows that each include a series of processes and that have already been created; and create a flow for the device by replacing a process in a flow selected from the flow list by a user using the device with a process corresponding to device information set for the device.

An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive a job to print multiple copies of a document, process a page of the document to obtain a processed page, initiate printing of the processed page at a printer, transmit via a network the processed page to network storage, and, when ready to print a subsequent copy of the page of the document, retrieve via the network the processed page from the network storage.

An information processing apparatus comprises a storage to store a plurality of templates including a region in which data can be placed. The apparatus specifies data to be placed in the plurality of templates; and outputs an image in which the data is placed in a template, from among the plurality of templates, and which is based on data to be placed in the region and including text inputted by a user.

An information processing apparatus includes an operation device, a communication device, and a control device. The operation device receives an instruction according to an operation performed by a user. The communication device performs data communication with a plurality of image forming apparatuses. The control device acts as a calculator and a controller. The calculator calculates an evaluation value for each of one or more evaluation items designated by the user through the operation device and calculates a sum of the calculated evaluation values, as use priority, with respect to each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses. The controller transmits a print job, execution of which has been instructed by the user through the operation device, to the image forming apparatus that has gained highest user priority, via the communication device.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: in response to a prior print instruction, impose multiple pieces of prior image data to a subset of multiple imposition regions of a continuous paper sheet that is enabled to be imposed with the prior image data in response to the prior print instruction; and in response to a subsequent print instruction, impose subsequent image data to an unplanned region that is not imposed with the prior image data, from among the imposition regions serving as targets of imposition after the prior print instruction.

The printing device includes a printing unit, an interface, and a controller. In a case that a print job is received while electric power is being supplied to an external device from the interface, the controller determines whether a first condition or a second condition is met. The print job is for commanding the printing unit to execute printing. The second condition is different from the first condition. The controller executes printing based on the print job while limiting a level of the electric power being supplied to the external device from the interface in a case that the controller determines that the first condition is met. The controller holds the print job without limiting a level of the electric power supplied to the external device from the interface in a case that the controller determines that the second condition is met.

An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to: post request information requesting a proxy printing of a print object through a talk room when a chatbot controlled by the processor receives a request for the proxy printing of the print object posted in the talk room by a requester; and output the print object to an image forming apparatus as a print object of a proxy who accepts the proxy printing of the print object through the talk room to which the request information is posted.
