In response to reception of instructions to print a color sample from a user, first, a printing unit is caused to perform calibration. Then, after the calibration is completed in the printing unit, control is performed so that print data is generated by execution of predetermined image processing for image data representing the color sample and printing processing of the print data is performed in the printing unit.

A pull-print server may include a receiver to receive a print job from a client device. The print job includes a first page and a second page. Further, the pull-print server may include a transmitter to transmit the print job to a printer via a network in response to a reception of a first pull-print request from the printer. The pull-print server may include a controller to receive page count information from the printer upon completion of printing of the first page. The page count information indicates a number of pages printed corresponding to the print job. Further, the controller may detect an interruption of the print job prior to completion of the print job and cause the interrupted print job to resume on the printer based on the page count information and in response to a reception of a second pull-print request from the printer.

An information processing system includes a management device configured to manage print data including plural print data elements, and one or more processing devices configured to process the print data elements for printing. The management device includes a first processor. The first processor is configured to manage the print data and the plural print data elements in association with each other, output each of the print data elements to the processing device associated with the print data element, and in response to specification of a possibility of reprinting of the print data, output the print data element to the processing device while associating information indicating the possibility of reprinting with the print data element. Each of the processing devices includes a second processor. The second processor is configured to process the print data element output from the management device, cause a memory to store the print data element associated with the information indicating the possibility of reprinting, and in response to a reprinting instruction from the management device, process the print data element associated with the information indicating the possibility of reprinting by reading the print data element from the memory.

An example method for estimating a media level of a media stack in a printer includes storing a media level model correlating a picker metric of a media picker to pick media from the media stack to the media level; measuring a current picker metric when the media picker picks the media from the media stack during a print job; adding the current picker metric to a historical data set; updating the media level model by generating a regression for the historical data set; and based on the current picker metric and the updated media level model, estimating a current media level of the media stack.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for monitoring a print job, and an electronic apparatus. The method includes receiving a print job; analyzing the print job and acquiring creation time of the print job; comparing the creation time with current time, and continuing to print the print job if a time difference between the creation time and the current time is less than a first preset value; determining whether the print job satisfies a print cancellation condition if the time difference between the creation time and the current time is equal to or greater than the first preset value; and cancelling the print job if the print job satisfies the print cancellation condition.

An information processing apparatus performs setup processing of a first apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus; acquires setup data used in the setup processing and indicating a setup operation of the first apparatus from a second apparatus different from the first apparatus; determines whether display concerning the setup operation can be performed using the acquired setup data; and, if it is determined that the display concerning the setup operation can be performed, the display concerning the setup operation is performed by predetermined program, if it is determined that the display concerning the setup operation cannot be performed, predetermined processing for allowing a user to refer to other medium except for the predetermined program is performed. The other medium is for presenting information concerning the setup operation.

A device management program causes a terminal device to function as a storing unit configured to store first access point information concerning a first access point and first device information, which is device information concerning a connected device, in correlation with each other in advance, a communication-state confirming unit configured to confirm a communication state at predetermined timing, an access-point-information acquiring unit configured to, when the communication state is a communication error state, acquire second access point information concerning a second access point that is in the communication error state, a determining unit configured to determine whether the second access point information and the first access point information coincide, a communication-state-information acquiring unit configured to acquire information concerning a communication state with the device when the second access point information and the first access point information coincide, and a communication-state notifying unit configured to perform a notification, which is a notification of the information concerning the communication state with the device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program is provided. The program is executed in a personal digital assistant to operate a recording apparatus including a recording unit that performs recording on a medium from the personal digital assistant. The program causes the personal digital assistant to display, on a display of the personal digital assistant, information on a user operation method based on an event that occurred when a medium is to be fed from back of the recording apparatus, the method being to be performed after the event occurred.

An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain user information and a print job, the user information indicating a user associated with a second image forming apparatus different from the image forming apparatus, the print job including setting information about a setting used in printing; when the setting information of the obtained print job is not allowed to be applied to the image forming apparatus, further obtain substitute information indicating a substitute for the setting information of the second image forming apparatus with which the association is indicated by the user information; and execute the print job by applying the obtained substitute information.

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for notifying a user when a set of characters are identified in a media file. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a set of characters inputted by the user of a computing device, playing the media file, transcribing the media file to form a transcription, and determining whether the transcription of the media file includes the set of characters. The method also includes initiating a notification prompt on a graphical user interface of the computing device in response to determining that the media file includes the set of characters.
