An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit, a storage unit, a determining unit, and a restart executing unit. The setting unit receives a setting of a time to periodically restart the information processing apparatus from a user. The storage unit stores therein the time received by the setting unit and a predetermined condition used for determination of whether to restart the information processing apparatus at the time. At a time of restarting the information processing apparatus at the time stored in the storage unit, the determining unit makes a decision to execute a restart when an operating state of the information processing apparatus meets the predetermined condition stored in the storage unit. The restart executing unit executes the restart in accordance with the decision made by the determining unit.

An image processing apparatus comprises: a display that displays a first screen including one or more than one first key for setting a mode to execute a function of the apparatus, and then, if one of the first keys is pressed, displays a second screen including one or more than one second key, which is a lower-class screen under the pressed first key; and a customizing portion that hides at least one of the first and the second keys on the first screen, according to a user operation, and wherein if a user changes to non-display, the setting of at least one of the first keys on the first screen, while there exists a second key preliminarily prohibited from being hidden, on the second screen that is a lower-class screen under the first key to be hidden according to the changed setting, the customizing portion doesn't hide the first key.

A display system includes a step-image display unit, a delivery-date-image display unit, and a resource-information display unit. The step-image display unit displays, for each print order, a step image in which multiple steps that each execute a process using a resource assigned in advance are arranged on a time axis, the step image illustrating a printed material generating step. The delivery-date-image display unit displays an image illustrating a delivery date of each print order at a corresponding position on the time axis. The resource-information display unit displays information on another resource that is different from the resource assigned in advance to each of the steps and that is usable in each of the steps.

An image forming apparatus includes: a hardware processor that: executes processing corresponding to an instruction input via an external device; sends a first notification to the external device according to a completion of execution of the processing; and upon estimating that the execution of the processing is not completed before a timeout time, sends a second notification different from the first notification to the external device. The external device sets the timeout time for the first notification.

A method for controlling an image forming system including a wireless operation unit having a third wireless communication unit, an acquiring unit that acquires status information of the image forming apparatuses, and a display that displays the status information of the image forming apparatuses includes a connection process in which the third wireless communication unit connects individually to each of a first wireless communication unit of a first image forming apparatus and a second wireless communication unit of a second image forming apparatus via wireless communication without a wireless LAN router, an acquisition process in which the acquiring unit acquires the status information of the first image forming apparatus and the status information of the second image forming apparatus individually, and a display process in which the display displays the status information of the first image forming apparatus and the status information of the second image forming apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes a display and a controller. The display displays a document and displays a list of multiple graphic symbols respectively indicating multiple jobs with respect to the document. In a case where any one of the multiple graphic symbols is selected, the controller displays the selected graphic symbol in a distinguishable mode from another non-selected graphic symbol.

A digital camera with a printer is a digital camera with a printer and includes a communication unit that communicates with a digital camera with a printer that is another apparatus, and an image composition unit that generates a composite image in which a first image captured by the digital camera with a printer that is an owned apparatus and a second image captured by the other apparatus are composited, in which the communication unit transmits the composite image to the other apparatus. A user of the other apparatus can also obtain the composite image. Accordingly, the composite image can be enjoyed by capturing images using a plurality of cameras.

An image display device includes: an operation receiver that receives an operation to select and move, as a movement source icon, at least one of a plurality of icon images displayed on a display screen; and a hardware processor that, once the operation receiver receives the operation, changes a display position of the movement source icon while assuming that a first position of the movement source icon is selected on the display screen.

The image processing apparatus comprises a display unit 120 configured to display an operation screen and acquires information related to a job execution button included in the operation screen and acquires current status information of the image processing apparatus. Also, the image processing apparatus, based on the acquired information related to the execution button and status information, determines execution capability of the execution button. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus controls based on the determination result the display of each execution button included in the operation screen such that the execution capability status is recognizable.

A method for limiting wireless connectivity roaming of a multi-function device (MFD) is disclosed. For example, the method is executed by a processor and includes failing to re-authenticate on a current access point of a wireless network, accessing a list of access points within a user defined boundary, selecting an access point in the list of access points based on a parameter of the access point, and establishing a wireless communication path with the access point.
