An information processing device includes an acquisition unit and a setting unit. The acquisition unit acquires a selection result indicating whether a print processor is used for a process related to a print layout. The setting unit sets, in accordance with the selection result and as a print processor used for a printer driver associated with a printer device, a print processor associated with the printer driver.

An applicator device includes a printing head that applies a material to a target, a camera that captures an image of the target, and a processor. In the case where the applicator device moves relative to the target or the target moves relative to the applicator device and an application area of the target in the image reaches a particular position in the image, the processor performs a notification process to notify that the application area has reached the particular position.

An apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores conflict information indicating that a setting for printing a predetermined number of pages on one surface of one sheet conflicts with a setting for punching a plurality of rows of holes in the one sheet. The control unit performs control to prohibit generation of a print command including the printing and punching settings based on the conflict information stored in the storage unit.

A method for uniquely identifying mailpieces having non-personalized enclosures during an inserting and printing process in a mailpieces production system, the method including: creating a Job file containing at least a mailing list of addresses to be printed on mailpieces, allocating a distinct mailpiece identifier for a mailpiece, allocating a temporary machine identifier to a non-personalized enclosure extracted from an insert feeder of the mailpiece production system, associating said temporary machine identifier with said distinct mailpiece identifier and recording the mailpiece identifier as being in process, creating the mailpiece by inserting at least the non-personalized enclosure into an envelope, printing on the envelope an address associated with the mailpiece identifier, and recording the mailpiece identifier as being inserted.

A printing system in which a client device utilizing a web browser and a printer, that provides a share folder, are communicably connected, displays a screen on which a print file can be specified by a drop operation on the web browser, transmits the specified print file and share-folder specification information from the client device to the printer, and prints the print file using print settings linked to the share folder.

An apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores conflict information indicating that a setting for printing a predetermined number of pages on one surface of one sheet conflicts with a setting for punching a plurality of rows of holes in the one sheet. The control unit performs control to prohibit generation of a print command including the printing and punching settings based on the conflict information stored in the storage unit.

In one embodiment, an image forming apparatus has a discharge portion and a guide member. The discharge portion has a space surrounded by wall surfaces of a chassis, and a side opening portion to open the space. The discharge portion receives a sheet to be discharged from a discharge port of the chassis, and houses the sheet in the space so that the sheet can be taken out from the side opening portion. The guide member is arranged at an end portion in the side opening portion, and extends toward upward from the rear side toward the front side of the chassis.

Apparatus(es) and method(s) relating to operation of a multi-function printer panel are disclosed. In such a method, a main menu is displayed on a display screen of the multi-function printer panel. A plurality of primary image items of the main menu displayed on the display screen are navigated responsive to a first movement of a dial control. The dial control is pressed to select a primary image item of the plurality of primary image items. A plurality of secondary image items displayed on the display screen associated with the primary image item selected are navigated responsive to a second movement of the dial control. The dial control is pressed to select a secondary image item of the plurality of secondary image items.

The printer obtains template data from an application. Further, the printer drive obtains image data of a composition image from a scanner or a folder stored in a data storage area. The printer driver identifies, in a template image indicated by the template data, a composite area in which the composition image is to be composed based on the template data or information stored in the data storage area. Then, the printer driver generates image data of an image in which the composition image is composed in the identified composite area of the template image. With this configuration, the image in which the composition image is composed can be generated without requiring a user to obtain the composition images or without requiring the user to compose the composition image with the template image.

An information processing device includes an acquisition unit and a setting unit. The acquisition unit acquires a selection result indicating whether a print processor is used for a process related to a print layout. The setting unit sets, in accordance with the selection result and as a print processor used for a printer driver associated with a printer device, a print processor associated with the printer driver.
