An information processing system, an information processing method, a non-transitory recording medium, and an information processing apparatus. The information processing system captures a plurality of images at respective locations each associated with a location where the object is managed, or a process performed on the object to be managed, generates print data of a second slip associated with the plurality of objects to be managed, the second slip being different from a first slip associated with each of the plurality of objects, and controls a display to display, based on detection of the printed second slip from the image captured by the imaging device, the plurality of objects to be managed associated with the printed second slip, as being placed at the location or the process associated with the imaging device that captured the image of the second slip.

An image forming apparatus includes a circuit configured to generate an image based on the PDL data, a generating unit configured to generate an image corresponding to at least part of a plurality of pages included in the PDL data, according to acquisition of the PDL data, a holding unit configured to hold the image generated by the generating unit into a storage, and an obtaining unit configured to obtain images of all pages to be printed among the pages included in the PDL data according to the print instruction from the user, wherein the obtaining unit instructs the circuit to skip image generation of a page of which an image is already generated by the generating unit among the pages to be printed, and instructs the circuit to perform image generation of a page of which an image is not generated by the unit configured to generate.

A printing computing device connects to a multi-function printing (MFP) device to enable additional functionality and capabilities not offered by the MFP device. The printing computing device connects to a network to receive print jobs from external devices within the network. The printing computing device processes the print jobs according to rules such that print jobs are processed accordingly. The printing computing device also includes firmware not available on the MFP device such that print jobs not supported by the MFP device still may be processed. The printing computing device also includes an engine that determines whether an incoming print job is a PDL print job or a command to perform a function not available on the MFP device.

Provided is an image forming device that performs additional printing, including: an image forming unit that prints an additional image on a transfer medium; a storage that stores information about an alignment image printed on the transfer medium; a reader unit that reads the alignment image printed on the transfer medium on an upstream side of the transfer direction of the transfer medium in the image forming unit; and a control unit that detects and distinguishes multiple alignment images upon reception of reading results from the reader unit. The control unit performs control of storing adjustment information for adjusting the position of the additional image to be formed, according to multiple alignment images, in the storage.

A display apparatus includes a display screen; a display control unit configured to display content on the display screen of the display apparatus; and a detection unit configured to detect approach or contact between a wireless device and the display apparatus. The display control unit performs predetermined display on a basis of information acquired via wireless communication from the wireless device in a case where the approach or contact between the wireless device and the display screen is detected by the detection unit while predetermined content is displayed on the display screen, and does not perform the predetermined display in a case where the approach or contact between the wireless device and the display apparatus is detected by the detection unit while predetermined content is not displayed on the display screen.

An information processing system, includes: a requesting side apparatus and a reproduction side apparatus in which a facsimile function is implemented to transmit and receive communication sounds through a switching equipment; a storage which stores recording data obtained by recording the communication sounds transmitted and received in the past; a controller which generates a reproduction instruction command to reproduce the recording data through the switching equipment, and transmits the reproduction instruction command to the reproduction side apparatus; a sound reproducer which reproduces, when the reproduction instruction command is received, the recording data processed by sectioning, with a soundless period, a FAX terminal identification signal included in the recording data for switching the operation mode of the switching equipment to a FAX mode, and transmits the recording data to the requesting side apparatus; and a sound recorder which records the processed recording data reproduced by the sound reproducer.

A printer enables easily changing settings. The printer has storage 20c that stores settings information related to the printer 10; and a controller 20 changes, based on the power supply to the printer 10 turning on or off, settings information stored in the storage 20c.
