A method for page management for use with an image forming apparatus includes receiving a request from a user for processing one or more pages of one or more documents. Further, the method includes displaying on a display (a) a thumbnail image generated for each page and (b) a plurality of options for processing the one or more pages. Furthermore, the method includes receiving a selection by the user of at least one option of the plurality of options. Thereafter, the method includes processing the one or more pages, according to the at least one option of the selection received from the user.

A print system includes an image processing apparatus and a print apparatus that receives a print job processed by the image processing apparatus and prints an image on a sheet. The print apparatus determines whether or not a print job received from the image processing apparatus is a measurement target for measuring an image printed on a sheet, measures the image on the sheet printed by executing a print job that has been determined to be the measurement target, and transmits the result of measurement to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus generates a print job serving as a measurement target, and upon receiving the result of measurement based on the transmitted print job, applies the result of measurement to a print job to be printed by the print apparatus.

In some implementations, a device may identify, for a printing operation, a media type associated with media involved in the printing operation. The device may receive, from a sensor, a sensor measurement associated with an ambient condition of the printer. The device may determine, using a print optimization model, a printing configuration for the printing operation based on the media type and the ambient condition, wherein the print optimization model is trained based on reference data associated with historical printing operations associated with one or more printers, wherein the reference data includes reference configurations associated with the historical printing operations, respective media types of media used in the historical printing operations, and corresponding ambient conditions of the one or more printers during the historical printing operations. The device may cause the printer to perform the printing operation according to the printing configuration.

A server includes: a memory storing printing configuration rules for interfacing with a printing system; a communications interface configured to communicate with a client device; a processor interconnected with the memory and the communications interface, the processor configured to: generate a print system network identifier mapped to the printing system, the print system network identifier configured for identifying print parameters for print jobs; receive, via the communications interface, a print request from the client device, the print request generated based on the print system network identifier and including one or more print parameters for a print job; and send a print instruction to the printing system to initiate the print job at the printing system according to the one or more print parameters, the print instruction generated according to the printing configuration rules.

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.

A print control apparatus for controlling a printing apparatus, comprises a display control unit configured to display, on a display unit, a setting content associated with setting processing of a default printing apparatus that can be used without accepting a selection operation by a user, an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a function of setting, as the default printing apparatus, a printing apparatus instructed to execute printing, and a restriction unit configured to restrict, if the acquired information indicates enabling of the function, display processing of the setting content so the setting content is not operated.

Examples disclosed herein relate to responsive printing. An example device includes a processor, a memory device, and a printer for physical printing of a content section of an output object following a user setting and an instruction for the output object to be printed. In an example, the device may also include a microphone to detect an audio input and a camera to detect an image input. Further, in the example, the audio input detected by the microphone and the image input detected by the camera are both used by the processor executing instructions from the memory device in providing a content section of the output object, providing the user setting, and providing instructions to the printer for the content section of the output object to be printed.

A feeding apparatus includes a measurement unit measuring an attribute of a sheet fed by a feeding unit to obtain an attribute value; a notification control unit making a notification of information representing sheet types in accordance with the attribute value obtained by the measurement unit; a selection unit accepting selection of a sheet type after the notification; a setting unit setting the sheet type selected by the selection unit as a type of the sheet; a history storage unit storing history information serving as information of sheet types accepted once by the selection unit; and a reference storage unit storing reference information serving as reference attribute values. The notification of the information represents the sheet types in a notification order decided based on the reference attribute values stored in the history information and the attribute value obtained by the measurement unit.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The supporting program, when executed by the computer, causes the information processing apparatus to execute, when being requested from the printing program of an operating system for processing in response to a change of a print setting, obtaining the print setting, generating, based on the obtained print setting, notification data including a notifying image indicating a configurational image of a printed object, and displaying the notifying image on the print setting screen displayed on a display of the information processing apparatus by outputting the generated notification data to the printing program of the operating system.

A printing system including a server apparatus and a printing control apparatus includes a registration unit configured to register image data, a plurality of pieces of data to be combined with the image data, and categories corresponding to the plurality of pieces of data, respectively, in the server apparatus, a selection unit configured to select at least one category from the categories registered in the server apparatus, a display control unit configured to display the plurality of pieces of data registered by the registration unit based on the at least one category selected by the selection unit, and a printing unit configured to print data by combining data selected by a user from among the plurality of pieces of displayed data with the image data.
