Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image calibration method, an image forming apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes outputting a calibration image in response to a calibration instruction, where the calibration image includes a calibration pattern and a calibration mark; according to the calibration mark of the calibration image, determining whether a calibration event corresponding to the calibration image matches a calibration event corresponding to a current calibration operation, or determining whether a calibration event type corresponding to the calibration image matches a calibration event type corresponding to a current calibration operation; and performing image calibration according to the calibration pattern in the calibration image if the calibration event corresponding to the calibration image matches the calibration event corresponding to the current calibration operation, or if the calibration event type corresponding to the calibration image matches the calibration event type corresponding to the current calibration operation.

In an aspect, a computing system is configured to: send, to a transfer rail server, a request for stored card data associated with a value transfer card; receive stored card data identifying an entity having a stored representation of the value transfer card; provide user interface data to a client device, the user interface data causing the client device to display a user interface that includes an entity listing that is based on the stored card data, the user interface including a selectable option to add an entity-based control to the identified entity; receive, from the client device, an instruction to apply an entity-based control to an identified one of the entities in the stored card data; and in response to receiving the instruction to apply the entity-based control, implement the entity-based control to affect use of the value transfer card by the identified entity and not affect use of the value transfer card by other entities.

An image processing apparatus capable of improving operability of a question preparer. The image processing apparatus including a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to: generate a question sheet image by controlling a reading unit to read a question sheet in which question sentences and question numbers are written, generate an answer sheet image by controlling the reading unit to read an answer sheet that includes answer fields, question numbers corresponding to the answer fields, and marks showing marking results, detect an answer field including a wrong answer mark from the answer sheet image, obtain a question number corresponding to the detected answer field from the answer sheet image, obtain a question sentence corresponding to the obtained question number from the question sheet image, and generate a review image including the obtained question sentence and a new answer field.

An information processing apparatus for processing an image includes circuitry unit and a communication interface. The circuitry acquires identification information to identify a set of one or more objects to be imaged by an imaging device according to a predetermined imaging sequence. The communication interface transmits at least one image of the set of one or more objects that is captured by the imaging device in association with the identification information, to a management device.

A system and a method using matrix barcode information to process documents are provided. A document-processing apparatus generates matrix barcode information and establishes a wireless link with a mobile apparatus through the matrix barcode information. When the document-processing apparatus establishes the wireless link with the mobile apparatus, the document-processing apparatus creates a file transfer zone, performs a corresponding automatic document-processing action, such as scanning or printing, according to a driving command received from the mobile apparatus, and exchanges the generated image information with the mobile apparatus through the file transfer zone. Given the matrix barcode information, the document-processing apparatus can be directly controlled by the mobile apparatus to achieve direct information exchange and enhanced efficiency and security of the document-processing system.

An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit, a detector and a controller. The setting unit sets setting information associating a registered image obtained by reading an image with control information indicating whether input image data is to be stored or not. The detector detects the registered image from the input image data. The controller controls whether or not the input image data including the registered image is stored in a storage based on the setting information.

An image forming apparatus prints a template sheet. The template sheet includes a graphical code and operation boxes. The graphical code includes information corresponding to a storage location address that stores information about settings for one or more image forming apparatuses. A user indicates what information is desired or to be changed on the image forming apparatus, marks it on the template sheet and scans the template sheet. Based on the instructions on the template sheet, information for settings is retrieved for an apparatus in a network. Maintenance information for the image forming apparatus also is retrieved using the template sheet and operation boxes.
