A printing apparatus includes a reading unit to read a document image to generate image data, and a printing unit to print an image of the image data on a sheet supplied from any of multiple sheet storage portions. The printing apparatus determines whether an automatic selection function is enabled or disabled. The automatic selection function automatically selects, from among the sheet storage portions, a source for supplying a sheet that is used for printing. If the automatic selection function is enabled and a user specifies a predetermined sheet storage portion that has no sheet stored therein, the job execution instruction is not allowed. If the automatic selection function is disabled and a sheet storage portion that supplies a sheet for printing from among the plurality of sheet storage portions has no sheet stored therein, the job execution instruction is allowed.

Provided is a printing device including a print data receiving unit, a page calculation unit that calculates a number of pages before stopping with using a page length of received print data and a distance from a printing mechanism unit to a visual recognition unit, a print instruction unit that changes the number of pages before stopping or a number of printed pages and performs print processing when the received print data corresponds to a control page for controlling printing, and a print stop unit that stops printing when the number of printed pages coincides with the number of pages before stopping.

An image forming system identifies a user's operation for changing a set value related to a processing of the image forming apparatus or the post-processing apparatus. When the set value is changed during a continuous output operation of the image forming system, the image forming system causes the image forming apparatus and the post-processing apparatus to continue the continuous output operation while reflecting the changed set value. The image forming system Detects a predetermined change related to the processing by referring back to a time when the user's operation is identified, and causes the image forming apparatus and the post-processing apparatus to re-output papers that have been output from a time when the predetermined change occurred to a time when the changed set value was reflected.

According to an aspect of the invention, a mobile apparatus includes: a communication unit that performs wireless communication with an image processing apparatus; a first receiving unit that receives information indicating that printing is in progress from the image processing apparatus; a second receiving unit that receives information indicating that printing is completed from the image processing apparatus; and an output unit. When a connection state in the wireless communication with the image processing apparatus or a distance to the image processing apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition after the information indicating that printing is in progress is received from the image processing apparatus and before the information indicating that printing is completed is received from the image processing apparatus, the output unit outputs a message indicating that a printout output by the image processing apparatus is forgotten to be taken.

A paper management system setting a paper information piece of paper stored in a sheet feeding unit in an image forming apparatus from a list of paper information pieces registers the paper information pieces with a favorite group, displays a list of the paper information pieces for each favorite group, and enables the list of the paper information pieces to be associated with a paper feed unit through the screen displaying the list.

A media processing system is arranged to process image receiving media under predetermined physical conditions. The system includes a scheduler arranged to schedule jobs to be processed in the system and to calculate predicted timings (T0) at which media will have to be ready for processing and to indicate the predicted timings on a user interface. The system further includes a buffer in which a supply of media that has been received from a first environment is kept in a specified second environment before being processed. The scheduler is configured to calculate an acclimatization time required for the media to acquire the predetermined physical conditions by being kept in the second environment in the buffer, and to calculate and indicate a predicted timing (T1) at which the media should be present in the sheet buffer at the latest in view of the calculated acclimatization time.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing system capable of supporting a plurality of printable areas for one paper size. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method in an information processing apparatus including: first printing control software; and second printing control software that converts first format print data output by the first printing control software into second format print data, and the control method includes: a first creation step of creating raster data based on the first format print data; a medium determination step of performing determination of whether a printing-target medium is a medium that needs a margin larger than a regular size; and a margin insertion step of performing margin insertion processing for raster data created at the first creation step.

An erasing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an erasing unit that erases an image formed on a sheet and a scanning unit that scans a surface of a sheet. A control determines whether or not an image on the sheet has been erased based on the scanned surface and count the number of sheets on which images are determined to have been erased, with respect to each size of the sheets. A network interface transmits information including the counted number of the sheets and a size of the sheets on which images are determined to have been erased to a managing apparatus that manages points associated with the erasing of the images on the sheets.

A control device includes a prohibition unit that prohibits use of an electronic apparatus in a case where a sum of a cumulative amount of use of the electronic apparatus for a predetermined period of time and a new amount of use which is newly instructed by an user exceeds a permitted amount in the period of time which is permitted for the user, and a permission unit that permits use of the electronic apparatus by an amount based on an unused amount which is a difference between the permitted amount and the cumulative amount of use in an unreaching period when the unreaching period is present before the period of time in an accounting period including the period of time, in a case where the use of the electronic apparatus is prohibited by the prohibition unit.

There is provided an image forming apparatus. A receiving unit receives image data. A plurality of supply units supplies different sizes of recording media. A tray detecting unit detects a supply unit to be set as a supply target from the plurality of supply units. A switching unit, according to the remaining number of recording media accommodated in the supply unit, makes a switch from supply by a supply unit, of the plurality of supply units, accommodating a recording medium of a size required for image formation to supply by another supply unit detected by the tray detecting unit. An adjusting unit adjusts the image data received by the receiving unit to have the same output image size regardless of a switching operation by the switching unit.
