A processing job generation apparatus includes a decision unit that decides whether or not a sheet processing apparatus can execute a processing of a sheet based on a layout data.

A print control program causes a processor to display a first page image including a first image out of an image group including images corresponding to the pages in document data, receive a change instruction to change from the display of the first page image to the display of a second page image including a second image included in the image group, and when receiving the change instruction, change from the display of the first page image to the display of the second page image in a change mode in accordance with a received print setting.

An example method includes maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations. The method further includes processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.

An information processing device includes: a processor configured to: acquire (i) names of items whose set values have been changed from a setting screen and (ii) changed set values of the items; display, on a file name setting screen, one or more user-operable elements each corresponding to a respective one of the items whose set values have been changed; and in response to a user instruction, create a file name that includes (i) a name of at least one of the items and (ii) the set value of the at least one of the items, in which the file name is created in accordance with an arranged order of the elements displayed on the file name setting screen.

A workflow including a plurality of work processes for producing a product is generated for each of a plurality of product types, a setting of a parameter for each of the work processes is received by a user operation, and a preview is displayed using the received setting and predetermined dummy data. A designation of one of a plurality of pieces of document data is received by a user operation, and a preview is displayed by replacing the dummy data with the designated document data.

Provided is an image forming system capable of reliably preventing others from removing and taking printed matter even though printing is executed beforehand. The confidential notation reading unit reads a confidential notation. The user storage tray has a structure from which outputted printed matter cannot be removed unless the opening/closing door is opened. The locking mechanism locks the opening/closing door. The sorting mechanism sorts the printed matter outputted from the image forming apparatus and outputs the printed matter to either the open tray or the user storage tray. The sorting control unit outputs printed matter to which a confidential notation is not added to the open tray, and outputs a printed matter to which a confidential notation is added to the user storage tray, respectively.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire capability information about a printer configured to receive print data generated by a predetermined printer driver, and a display unit configured to display an object configured to accept a print setting based on the capability information acquired by the acquisition unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire second capability information based on a predetermined user operation accepted after completion of acquisition of first capability information of the capability information.

An information processing apparatus that stores a printer driver configured to generate image data to be transmitted according to a predetermined protocol includes a selection unit configured to select printer information regarding a single printer from stored printer information regarding a plurality of printers, a notification unit configured to give a notification to an application corresponding to the printer information selected by the selection unit, an acquisition unit configured to, based on an instruction given by the application having received the notification, acquire first capability information that is defined by a predetermined protocol and second capability information that is not defined by the predetermined protocol from a cloud print service, and a display unit configured to, based on the second capability information acquired by the acquisition unit, display an object that receives a print setting.

An information processing apparatus storing information regarding a printer and a predetermined printer driver in association includes a controller configured to acquire first capability information defined by a predetermined protocol and second capability information undefined by the predetermined protocol, and store the first capability information and the second capability information having been acquired in association with the information regarding the printer, wherein, based on a storage unit storing the first capability information and the second capability information, a predetermined object is displayed in a selectable state on a display unit, and wherein, based on the displayed predetermined object being selected, an object for receiving a print setting is displayed on the display unit in accordance with the second capability information stored in association with the information regarding the printer.

A determination device (1) includes a first storage unit (10), a determination unit (12), an input unit (13), and an update unit (14). The first storage unit (10) stores one or more processing rules of a post-printing processor (4) predetermined based on processing know-how for a post-printing process. The input unit (13) receives input of information about an update of the processing rules. The update unit (14) updates the processing rules stored in the first storage unit based on the input of information about the update of the processing rules. The determination unit (12) determines whether a post-printing processing instruction information generated by a pre-printing processor (2) satisfies the one or more processing rules.
