Provided is a printer connected to a management server via a network. The printer includes a storage control unit that, when an event occurs, stores in a storage unit event information indicating a content of the event that has occurred and time when the event occurs, and a transmission unit that push-transmits the event information stored in the storage unit to the management server. The storage control unit adds, to the event information, transmission information indicating whether the event information has been transmitted or has not been transmitted to the management server and stores the event information in the storage unit. Among the event information stored in the storage unit, the transmission unit push-transmits, to the management server, untransmitted event information to which transmission information indicating the event information has not been transmitted is added.

A server device includes communication means, information storage means, and output means. The communication means communicates with an information processing device that includes a display unit for displaying a symbol and a sending unit for sending information relating to the failure of the own device. The information storage means stores the information relating to the failure sent from the information process device. The output means outputs information relating to the failure stored in an access destination specified by the symbol to a user terminal that reads the symbol.

Systems and methods are provided though which a transaction, e.g., in a multi-tier, distributed application may be initiated from a portable or hand-held device, such as a smartphone. A computer system or systems, possibly remote from the device, may approve the transaction, complete it, or both, and the remote computer system or systems may cause a document to be printed, e.g., by a printer physically proximate to the device. Aspects of the invention are illustrated by embodiments in which a drug prescription may be created electronically using a hand-held device. In such an embodiment, the prescription may be transmitted to one or more remote computer systems, such as an application server, for processing. If specified, the remote computer systems may cause a prescription to be printed, e.g., at a printer near the prescriber's location. The prescriber may sign the printed prescription and give it to a patient or pharmacy.

An image processing apparatus includes: a first hardware processor that sets cooperative processing including first processing and second processing that cooperate with each other in a server that provides a service that determines the cooperative processing; a second hardware processor that receives a command to execute the first processing; a third hardware processor that generates alternative processing in place of the first processing in a case where it is detected that the command cannot be received after the cooperative processing has been set; and a fourth hardware processor that executes the alternative processing.

A management apparatus includes circuitry that stores, in a memory, facsimile data received by an electronic device in association with information on a group to which the received facsimile data belongs, and transmits a list of the received facsimile data based on a browse request of the received facsimile data. In the list, the received facsimile data is classified according to at least the information on the group to which the electronic device belongs.

A network device manages a first definition information in which a type of data to be collected in the network device and a first collection condition are defined received from a first client application, manages, after a second client application for transmitting data to a second system via the network is added to the network device, second definition information in which a type of data to be collected in the network device and a second collection condition are defined received from the added second client application, and collects data in the network device in accordance with the first definition information and second definition information. Data to be collected in accordance with both the first collection condition and the second collection condition is collected at a same timing.

An example user terminal apparatus includes a display, a communication apparatus to communicate with an external apparatus, and a processor to, based on information on a possible first toner refill quantity of a plurality of grouped image forming apparatuses provided from the external apparatus through the communication apparatus and a toner quantity of one toner refill apparatus, control the display to display a guide message including information on the time point of toner refill, each of the image forming apparatuses which is a subject of toner refill within the group, and a possible second toner refill quantity of each of the image forming apparatuses at the time point of toner refill.

A system and method for electronic document translation filtering includes an input that receives electronic document data and instruction data corresponding to at least one document processing operation to be performed on the electronic document data. A computer includes a processor and associated memory identifies a language associated with the electronic document data and receives a translation instruction corresponding to at least one target language. The computer applies language filter data specified by the translation instruction to the electronic document data to generate translated electronic document data. A translated electronic document resultant from application of the language filter data to the electronic document data is stored and an output communicates the translated electronic document data to a document processing engine.

An image processing apparatus includes a host controller that controls a hardware resource, a guest controller, an emulator that is provided between the host controller and the guest controller and allows the guest controller to control the hardware resource, and a changer that changes an HDL program, wherein the guest controller includes a guest driver, the emulator includes a device emulator that emulates the hardware resource by executing the changed HDL program, and a switcher that switches control to any one of a first control for controlling the host controller in accordance with control of the hardware resource by the guest driver and allowing the hardware resource to be controlled, and a second control for controlling the device emulator in accordance with the control of the hardware resource by the guest driver.

An information processing apparatus includes a registration unit and a processing unit. The registration unit registers multiple terminal devices with the information processing apparatus or a different apparatus in association with multiple operators who operate the multiple terminal devices. The processing unit executes a process by performing, in response to an instruction for the process given by a specific one of the operators, short-range communication with a specific one of the terminal devices that is registered in association with the specific one operator.
