An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to perform a printing process of forming an image on a print medium based on print data, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether or not the printing process has completed based on remaining print data to be printed, when the print medium is removed from a paper discharge tray in which the print medium on which the image is formed by the image forming unit is placed, and to cause a warning to be output upon determining that the printing process has not completed based on the remaining print data to be printed.

A printer has a print unit, a printer communicator, printer storage, and a printer controller. The controller controls the printer communicator to receive a print command that includes character data and a font command. The controller acquires font data for characters specified by the character data based on font data and relational information stored by the printer storage 21. The controller generates print data by applying a specific process related to the font type and controls the print unit based on the generated print data to print on a print medium.

By executing parallel processing while keeping a certain parallel number with respect to one user according to a status of processing for converting print data, an information processing apparatus controls the job order and monopolization of computing resources while effectively utilizing scalability of a cloud service.

Methods and devices process an electronic image of an item that has a background color and line features of a second color distinct from the background color. An electronic image and a menu option are displayed to allow the user to define at least one area of the electronic image as a distinctive color region. The electronic image is separated into different planes, and line features within the distinctive color region are removed from a second mask plane (second color) and added to a third mask plane (third color). The first plane, second mask plane, and third mask plane, are combined into an electronic file, and automatically stored.
