A print control device is provided with a management unit that receives and manages an instruction to execute processing, a processing unit that performs processing based on the instruction that is received, and a storage unit that stores an attribute information indicating an attribution of the instruction stored by the management unit and state information indicating a processing state of the processing unit in a nonvolatile storing unit using resources of the processing unit when processing based on the instruction is not executed.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller that controls the information processing apparatus by making a transition of a state of the information processing apparatus in relation to power consumption of the information processing apparatus from a first state to a second state in which the power consumption is higher than that in the first state, and a line-of-sight detector that detects a line of sight toward the information processing apparatus. The controller makes a transition from the first state to the second state when the line-of-sight detector detects a line of sight toward the information processing apparatus.

A print job transmitting device acquires the job execution order from the image forming apparatus every time a specific time period is lapse until the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from a new job execution order after requesting the image forming apparatus to change the job execution order into the new job execution order, and notifies the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus when the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from the new job execution order.

According to an embodiment, a printer includes a display device and a controller device. The display device displays one of product information received from an external device and product information recorded in a memory device, as product-information-to-be-printed. When the printer is incapable of receiving the product information from the external device, the controller device controls the display device to display the product information recorded in the memory device, in a display mode indicating that the product-information-to-be-printed is the product information recorded in the memory device.

Systems and methods are provided for managing individual documents of a print job based on recipient preferences. One system is a workflow server that includes an interface able to receive print data defining a print job that includes documents that each indicate an intended recipient for delivery. The workflow server also includes a controller able to direct devices of a print shop in accordance with a workflow that comprises an ordered set of activities to perform upon the documents. The controller is further able to acquire preferences for the intended recipients, to correlate documents in the print job with the acquired preferences, and to alter processing of the correlated documents in the workflow, based on the preferences of the intended recipients.

An information processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives an operation for a group printing job including plural printing jobs, and an instructing unit that gives an instruction to an image forming apparatus performing printing processing based on the printing job, in accordance with the operation.

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit that receives supply of electric power and performs communication with a storage device used to store data, a supply controller that controls supply of electric power in an own apparatus according to a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode in which power consumption is smaller than that of the first mode, and transitions from the second mode to the first mode, a receiving unit that receives instruction to execute process based on the data from a user after the transition from the second mode to the first mode, an acquiring unit that requests acquisition of the data to the storage device and acquires the data according to the request based on the instruction, and an execution unit that executes a process based on the acquired data.

A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a color management unit having a hash table to store input colors and corresponding output colors and a lookup table (LUT). The printing system also includes one or more processors to reinitialize the hash table based on a hash table time and a interpolation time derived from concurrent real time measurements.

In some examples, classification based printing material set selection may include analyzing a preliminary rendering. Classification based printing material set selection may further include generating raster data based at least in part on a further rendering of the print data, and generating further print data including the raster data.

There is provided a control method for an information processing apparatus that stores an editing application with which editing of intermediate data including drawing data generated by a drawing application can be performed, the control method including: obtaining information associated with a print setting; deciding an interface used for obtaining the intermediate data from among a plurality of interfaces on a basis of the obtained information associated with the print setting; and obtaining the intermediate data by using the decided interface, in which the intermediate data output from the editing application is obtained by a printer driver and converted into a print command.
