A display control apparatus includes a display control unit that controls display of a display unit. A communication unit starts wireless communication with a printing apparatus according to a decrease in distance between the display control apparatus and the printing apparatus. A display switching unit performs a predetermined display related to printing in a case where the communication unit starts communication with the printing apparatus while a content to be printed is displayed on the display unit. The display control unit is configured to not perform the predetermined display in a case where the communication unit starts communication with the printing apparatus while a content not to be printed is displayed on the display unit.

Systems and methods for providing remote approval of an image for printing are provided. One system includes a processing circuit in communication with an image capturing device that is configured to capture an image of a printed product. The processing circuit is configured to process the captured image into a processed image accurate to within a tolerance in a color space to indicate the visual appearance of one or more colors. The color space is a standardized color space, such as sRGB or CIELAB. The processing circuit is further configured to transmit the processed image to a display located remote from the image capturing device and to receive an input signal from a remote input device to allow a user to approve or reject the displayed processed image for printing on a print device.

A printing apparatus comprises: a printing section that prints out print data onto a medium; an imaging section that captures an image of a print result on the medium; and an error notification section that performs error notification in a case of occurrence of an error during the printing of the print data. The error notification section judges whether to issue an error notice or not. In a case of an affirmative judgment to issue the error notice, the error notification section acquires a print image showing the print result by using the imaging section and transmits the acquired print image together with the error notice.

A color information processing method includes: inputting reference data including color information about each pixel or each pixel group of a reference medium and evaluation target data including color information about each pixel or each pixel group of an evaluation medium by an input means; performing an image matching process of image matching the input reference data and evaluation target data; setting a specific area which is a unit of evaluation and includes a plurality of pixels to each data item subjected to the image matching process; and comparing the color information items about each pixel or each pixel group in the reference data and the evaluation target data in the set specific area to calculate a color difference and performing an averaging process to calculate an average evaluation result for the specific area by a calculation means.

When an image formation instruction for created document data is received, image data for a preview image corresponding to the document data is generated, the preview image based on the image data is displayed on a display, and an image is formed using data for image formation based on the image data for the preview image.
