There is provided an image forming system including at least a first image forming apparatus that includes a first image forming unit and an obtaining unit configured to obtain operation-related information related to an operation of the first image forming unit. The image forming system further includes a carryover unit configured to carry over, to a second image forming apparatus, information related to an operation of a second image forming unit of the second image forming apparatus among the operation-related information obtained by the first image forming apparatus when the second image forming apparatus is newly used in the image forming system. The operation-related information includes operation history information of the first image forming unit.

An information processing device including multiple operation units operable for a user, comprises: a storage; and a hardware processor that: detects the user; detects the operation unit operated by a first user from among the multiple operation units when the first user is being detected; stores operation information in which operation unit is recorded in the storage; and reads the operation information in the storage and notifies a second user of the operation unit operated by the first user when the second user is detected.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a case where a time specified processing instruction to execute a specified process at a specified time is set, in response to detecting presence of a user near the information processing apparatus upon restoration from an energy save mode to a normal operation mode, hold a time specified processing instruction scheduled for a past specified time that is time before the restoration, the time specified processing instruction being held not to be executed upon the restoration.

An information processing device includes a display, a communicator, and a controller, in which the controller acquires destination information managed by a terminal device via the communicator and displays the acquired destination information on the display in accordance with its priority level.

An information processing apparatus includes two storage devices, a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device, and controls which of the storage devices is to provide a swap area corresponding to a power saving mode set in accordance with a user input.

A multifunction peripheral (100) is connected to a terminal device (200) via a communication link, receives image data transmitted from the terminal device (200) and forms an image based on the image data. Further, the multifunction peripheral (100) detects the state of connection of the communication link and thereby detects whether or not communication with the terminal device (200) is interrupted. If interruption of communication is detected while image data transmitted from the terminal device is being received, the multifunction peripheral suspends the unfinished state of reception of image data.

Provided is an electronic device that increases operability when writing information (for example, unique user information) that allows writing to a wireless tag from the outside. The electronic device of the present disclosure includes a storage device that stores first registered information; a wireless tag that stores second registered information; and a system-control unit that updates contents of the second registered information based on the first registered information; wherein the system-control unit updates contents of information other than information that allows writing when there is writing to the wireless tag from the outside.

An information processing apparatus executes, for image data to be printed by a printing device, image processing corresponding to a content of the image data; transmits, to the printing device, image data obtained after executing the image processing; acquires, before executing the image processing, a first transfer rate with respect to the printing device and a requested transfer rate required by a print operation of a print unit of the printing device; attempts image processing for the image data; and acquires, based on the first transfer rate and information of image data obtained after the attempt, a second transfer rate required by transmission, to the printing device, of the image data obtained after the attempt and the print operation of the print unit.

An image forming apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to stop a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of an abnormality preventing the print job from continuing, set the stopped print job to a skip state, and restart the print job set to the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job and not by a second user different from the user associated with the print job.

This invention provides a data processing apparatus operable to execute processing requested by an application, where the apparatus comprises a processing unit configured to, if there is an instruction for processing, execute the processing in accordance with a command list indicated by the instruction; and a control unit configured to, upon receiving a request for processing from the application, generate a command list corresponding to the request and instruct the processing unit to perform the processing, wherein the processing unit comprises a switching unit configured to, upon receiving, from the control unit, a second instruction during execution of a command list for a first instruction, switch to execution of a command list for the second instruction at a timing of execution of a command that is a control point preset in the command list for the first instruction.
