A control device includes a prohibition unit that prohibits a user from using an electronic apparatus in a case where a sum of a cumulative used amount of the electronic apparatus by the user for a predetermined time period and a new used amount which is newly instructed by the user exceeds a permitted amount for the predetermined time period; an acquiring unit that acquires charging destination information for the user in a case where the prohibition unit prohibits the user from using the electronic apparatus; an output unit that outputs charging information for excess over the permitted amount of the user, using the charging destination information in a case where the charging destination information is acquired by the acquiring unit; and a permission unit that permits the user to use the electronic apparatus after the charging information is output.

A printing system includes a printer configured to perform an issuance process of issuing a cancel notification in response to detecting a cancel trigger, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor connected with a communication interface, cause the processor to cancel a generating process of generating print data and a print instruction process of transmitting print instruction information to the printer via the communication interface, in response to acquiring the cancel notification issued by the printer, during the generating process.

A system and method for maintaining safe social distancing during device operation comprises a multifunction peripheral configured to scan or print a tangible document. A camera captures electronic images of two or more people proximate to the multifunction peripheral. A processor determines a relative distance between the people in accordance with captured electronic images and generates an alarm when a determined relative distance is less than a predetermined alarm threshold distance. The processor disables operation of the multifunction peripheral when the determined relative distance is less than the predetermined alarm threshold distance.

An information processing apparatus, includes a transmission unit that transmits information; a first display control unit that controls, when a plurality of recipients to transmit the information are designated, a display unit to display a first list including the plurality of recipients; and a second display control unit that controls the display unit to display recipient-related information related to the recipient included in the first list, in a case where the first list is unable to be fitted within a single screen of the display unit.

Facsimile data is received, the received facsimile data is stored in a storage, a preview image is generated, based on the facsimile data stored in the storage, and, in response to a request for a preview image from an external device, the generated preview image is transmitted to the external device. Although facsimile data stored in the storage is deleted from the storage, based on an instruction to delete the facsimile data, facsimile data corresponding to the preview image can no longer able to be deleted from the storage, in response to having received an instruction from the external device to display the preview image.

An image processing apparatus capable of shifting to a power saving mode. The image processing apparatus includes a storing unit configured to store a document in a storage device, a notification unit configured to periodically notify an apparatus of a predetermined destination of information about a document that has been newly stored by the storing unit into the storage device, and a control unit configured to restrict shifting to a power saving mode in which the notification unit cannot make the notification after storage of a document by the storing unit has been completed and until the notification unit notifies at least information about the document.

A printing system includes a printer and an information processing device that includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions, the instructions being configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, when condition information does not include trigger information, determine to instruct the printer to start a pre-printing operation, when the condition information includes the trigger information, determine not to instruct the printer to start a pre-printing operation, in response to determining to instruct the printer to start the pre-printing operation, transmit the preparation instruction information to the printer, in response to determining to instruct the printer to start the pre-printing operation and performing the preparation instruction process, generate print data based on specified contents data, and transmit the print instruction information to the printer.

A method, computer program product and computer system are provided to promote device usage compliance. A processor retrieves a current position for a device. A processor determines at least one nearby location based on the current position of the device. A processor retrieves search data regarding the at least one nearby location. A processor determines compliance information regarding the at least one location based, at least in part, on the search data. A processor configures the device based on the compliance information regarding the at least one location.

A MFP includes a storage device, a RAM device, and a CPU. The MFP is capable of executing a standard program and an application that is not a standard program. The MFP receives specification of: an application deployment area upper limit as an upper limit of a size of a deployment area of the RAM device in which the application is deployed; and a Java heap upper limit as an upper limit of a size of a processing area of the RAM device that the application uses for a process (S107). The MFP controls starting of the application according to the application deployment area upper limit and the Java heap upper limit, which were specified in S107.

An image processing apparatus includes a display unit that displays a preview image of a document on a preview screen during login of a first user, a communication controller that receives a job from an external device, a determination unit that determines whether the job received from the external device is a specific type of job, and a display controller that controls display on the preview screen. When the specific type of job is received during display of the preview screen, the display controller assumes a predetermined degree or more of possibility that a second user different from the first user may approach the apparatus, and performs at least one of first display control where the preview image is automatically hidden on the preview screen and second display control where a non-display button for hiding the preview image according to a user operation is displayed on the preview screen.
