In a case of a first function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from a user of a multifunction peripheral (10), the user is set as an execution user. In a case of a second function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from an application, a user instructed by the application is set as an execution user. Further, in a case where an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the first function and an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the second function are identical, use history information of the execution user is managed as use history information of a single user. This makes it possible to appropriately manage use history information of a cooperative processing.

A tape printing apparatus includes an input unit for performing editing, a temporary storage unit configured to temporarily store editing information being edited by the tape printing apparatus, and an editing-information transmitting unit configured to transmit the editing information to a portable terminal when a first operation button included in the input unit is operated in a state in which the editing information is stored in the temporary storage unit.

A color processing device includes a color-data acquisition section, a conversion-relationship generation section, a correction-image-data generation section, and a conversion-relationship correction section. The color-data acquisition section acquires color data of a first image output by a first image forming device. In accordance with a first relationship and a second relationship, the conversion-relationship generation section generates a conversion relationship used for color adjustment performed to match a color of a second image to be output by a second image forming device on a basis of unadjusted image data with a color of the first image. The correction-image-data generation section generates, on a basis of the unadjusted image data, correction image data for correcting the conversion relationship. The conversion-relationship correction section performs correction of the conversion relationship on a basis of color data of correction images output by the second image forming device by using the correction image data.

An image processing device includes a shielding degree calculation section that calculates a shielding degree of a printed layer, and a rendering section. The rendering section is configured to generate at least one of the front surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the front surface side, and the back surface view, in which the printed object is observed from the back surface side, by mapping an image data, which is color converted, to a 3D object and by performing rendering using the shielding degree of the printed layer.

An image processing system includes a server to control a plurality of processes performable in the image processing system, a first image forming apparatus communicable with the server, and a second image forming apparatus communicable with the server. The server includes a first memory to store first image processing data, and a first processor to generate first image drawing information based on the first image processing data. The second image forming apparatus includes a second memory to store second image processing data, a second processor to generate second image drawing information based on the second image processing data, and a print engine to perform the image forming operation of the second image forming apparatus based on the second image drawing information.

A printing apparatus to print a character in conjunction with a tape cassette is provided. The tape cassette includes a tape and a first memory device to store character data. The printing apparatus includes an attachable section, a second memory device, a controller, and a printer. The controller reads specific character data that satisfies a predetermined condition from the first memory device in the tape cassette, stores the specific character data in the second memory device as in-apparatus stored data, and appoints print-object data being the character data corresponding to an object character, which is the character appointed as a print object, from the in-apparatus stored data in the second memory device. The printer prints the object character on the tape in the tape cassette based on the appointed print-object data.

A system to transform large amounts of files comprises input modules that handle incoming files, transformation modules that transform incoming files in a respective source format into outgoing files in a respective destination format and release modules that handle outgoing files. A web interface enabling a user to configure workflows comprising an input module, one or more transformation modules and one or more release modules. A workflow database, a task queue to store tasks resulting from the workflows. A sender service that loads a workflow, executes an input module thereof, and stores tasks resulting from the workflow in the task queue. A receiver service that reads a task from the task queue, loads a corresponding workflow, and executes the transformation modules and release modules of the workflow to transform incoming files into outgoing files.

An image processing system includes a server to control a plurality of processes performable in the image processing system, a first image forming apparatus communicable with the server, and a second image forming apparatus communicable with the server. The server includes a first memory to store first image processing data, and a first processor to generate first image drawing information based on the first image processing data. The second image forming apparatus includes a second memory to store second image processing data, a second processor to generate second image drawing information based on the second image processing data, and a print engine to perform the image forming operation of the second image forming apparatus based on the second image drawing information.

A color processing device includes a color-data acquisition section, a conversion-relationship generation section, a correction-image-data generation section, and a conversion-relationship correction section. The color-data acquisition section acquires color data of a first image output by a first image forming device. In accordance with a first relationship and a second relationship, the conversion-relationship generation section generates a conversion relationship used for color adjustment performed to match a color of a second image to be output by a second image forming device on a basis of unadjusted image data with a color of the first image. The correction-image-data generation section generates, on a basis of the unadjusted image data, correction image data for correcting the conversion relationship. The conversion-relationship correction section performs correction of the conversion relationship on a basis of color data of correction images output by the second image forming device by using the correction image data.
