A job management server, which is connected to a Web application server and a job processing apparatus via a network, comprises: a registration unit which registers, when a job received from the Web application server is added with information indicating that a request source of the job is the job processing apparatus, the job in a first job queue, and to register, when the job is not added with the information, the job in a second job queue having a lower priority than the first job queue; and a transmission unit which transmits the job registered in the first job queue in response to a request from the job processing apparatus while a user utilizes a Web application via the job processing apparatus.

An image forming apparatus includes a printer configured to print an image, a reading unit having: a platen on which a document is to be placed; and a reading sensor configured to read an image of the document placed on the platen, a document feeder rotatably supported by the reading unit having: a stacking tray on which a document is to be stacked; a conveyance unit configured to convey the document stacked on the stacking tray to cause the reading sensor to read an image of the document; and a discharge tray on which the document conveyed by the conveyance unit is discharged, a display; and a controller configured to receive user instruction information for instructing to print the test chart; and control the printer to print the test chart on a sheet when the user instruction information is received.

A job management server, which is connected to a Web application server and a job processing apparatus via a network, comprises: a registration unit which registers, when a job received from the Web application server is added with information indicating that a request source of the job is the job processing apparatus, the job in a first job queue, and to register, when the job is not added with the information, the job in a second job queue having a lower priority than the first job queue; and a transmission unit which transmits the job registered in the first job queue in response to a request from the job processing apparatus while a user utilizes a Web application via the job processing apparatus.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a print head discharging a liquid and a control circuit controlling an operation of the print head. the print head includes a connector having a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal, a first integrated circuit, a circuit substrate on which the connector and the first integrated circuit are provided and which has first wiring, second wiring, third wiring, fourth wiring, fifth wiring, and sixth wiring, and a first wiring substrate, in which the first wiring electrically couples the first terminal and the first integrated circuit to each other, the fifth wiring electrically couples the first terminal and the first integrated circuit to each other, and the sixth wiring electrically couples the first integrated circuit and the first wiring substrate to each other.

Image data mapping is described in which a patch image with patch image parameters including a patch image identifier relating to the patch image is generated; the production of the patch image on a recorded medium in a first printing environment is initiated; the produced patch image with the patch image parameters to determine patch image data of the produced patch image is analysed; and the patch image data is mapped to the patch image identifier to generate an information resource.

In an information processing device, a support program supports a printer, and a printing program is built in an operating system. The support program causes the information processing device to perform: in a case that a print instruction to execute printing by using the built-in printing program is issued, at least one of a command outputting process and an outputting instruction process. The command outputting process outputs a preceding operation command to the printer before starting transmitting print execution data to the printer. The preceding operation command commands the printer to execute a preceding operation prior to starting printing. The printer having a function to execute the preceding operation specified in the preceding operation command The outputting instruction process instructs a command transmission program to output the preceding operation command while the outputting instruction process designates the printer as an outputting destination.

Provided is an image forming apparatus including: an obtainment unit configured to obtain print data including drawing commands; a first image processing unit configured to perform conversion of color information for drawing an object having a non-image attribute among objects to be drawn by the drawing commands; a command execution unit configured to generate raster image data based on the drawing commands; a storage configured to store the generated raster image data to perform predetermined output; a second image processing unit configured to perform conversion of color information on an object having a picture attribute in the generated raster image data; and a control unit configured to perform the predetermined output in a case where a predetermined condition is met.

A printing control apparatus includes a processor configured to receive instruction information including print data and post-processing information indicating content of post-processing scheduled to be performed on paper on which an image based on the print data is printed, and, in a case where the post-processing included in the instruction information is not performed by a post-processing apparatus, generate an auxiliary image that assists a user to perform the post-processing, based on the post-processing information, and print the auxiliary image, together with the image based on the received print data, on the paper.

A system and method for on-demand production of custom indicator assays including a computing device for receiving a user specified analyte for which the assay will test, a database accessible via the computing device and containing indicator response data for a variety of analytes and potential interferents, and a printer operably connected to the computing device for printing an optimized combination of indicators onto a substrate based on the indicator response data of the database for a user specified analyte and any user specified potential interferents. The method includes receiving in a user interface at least one user specified analyte; querying the database to determine an optimized combination of indicators to test for the at least one user specified analyte; and printing from a printer the optimized combination of indicators onto a substrate.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved methods, techniques, and processes, often computer-based, for fulfilling commerce orders (e.g., e-commerce orders), such as automated generation of, among other things, (1) pack lists organized by “common order” number, (2) optimized packaging and shipping carrier recommendations, and (3) shipping labels.
