A selection processing portion is configured to select, as one or a plurality of events to be reported, one or a plurality of candidate events, in accordance with user operation, from among the preset plurality of candidate events. A count processing portion is configured to individually count a frequency of occurrences of each of the events to be reported. An output processing portion is configured to cause, when a count result by the count processing portion has met a preset condition, printing on a sheet and outputting of a report that includes an occurrence history of at least one of the events to be reported.

An image processing apparatus includes a first selection unit configured to select an adjustment color, a print control unit configured to cause a printer to print a chart including a patch corresponding to the adjustment color selected and patches corresponding to respective neighboring colors of the adjustment color, a second selection unit configured to select a target color from the colors corresponding to the respective patches on the chart, a generation unit configured to generate a color conversion table to the used for converting a color to be printed by the printer, by using the adjustment color selected and the target color selected, and a determination unit configured to determine an arrangement of the patches to be included in the chart to be printed by the printer, based on a color value of the adjustment color selected.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for processing a number of references mentioned in a document. A job request including a document for processing from a user is received. The document is at least one of a hardcopy document and a digital document. A multi-function device prompts the user to select a reference processing option when the user wants at least one reference of the document to be processed. Based on the selection of the reference processing option one or more references mentioned in the document are determined. Based on the determined one or more references, a referred content information for each of the one or more reference is searched. Then the referred content information along with one or more options including at least one of a print option, a save option and a send option are presented to the user.

There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing an image having photographic composition intended by a user. A frame layout is displayed on a monitor. Based on an operation of an operation unit, images stored in an internal memory are displayed in frames, and images to be arranged in the frames are selected. In this case, portions of the images corresponding to the frames are cut out, and the images are displayed in the frames. Based on an operation of the operation unit, the images to be arranged in the frames are adjusted by zooming and/or moving the images to be arranged in the frames within the frames. After setting of images for all the frames is completed, an image displayed on the monitor is printed according to a print instruction.

An image forming apparatus includes an image obtaining unit, a copy number obtaining unit, a set value obtaining unit, a set value applying unit, and a print performing unit. When the set value obtaining unit obtains and stores a plurality of different set values, the set value applying unit applies the plurality of respective set values to the image obtained by the image obtaining unit to generate and store a plurality of different set value applied images, and the specific count of copies of the plurality of respective set value applied images are printed, the print performing unit printing any one set value applied image among the plurality of stored set value applied images. A count of copies of the printing of the one set value applied image is found by subtracting the specific count of copies from the count of print copies.

The processor of a printer prints a setting value settable in a setting item of one in which a setting value is set on a print medium on the basis of input to an input section in a setting mode for setting a setting value in the setting item of one. If the first setting value of the setting item of one is stored in a memory, the processor causes a printing mechanism to print a first image in association with the setting value corresponding to the first setting value of the setting item of one out of the setting values to be printed. If the first setting value is not stored, the processor causes the printing mechanism to print the first image in association with the setting value corresponding to a second setting value of the setting item of one out of the setting values to be printed.

A cropping electronic display image is provided in response to selection of an image crop menu option. The cropping electronic display image includes a geometric shape superimposed on the input image. Operation of the user input component changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape within the cropping electronic display image is detected to identify a selected cropped image area. Portions of the input image outside the selected cropped image area are removed to produce a cropped image, in response to completing the process of changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape. The cropped image and the cropped image area are enlarged to fit within the cropping electronic display image.

An image forming device that executes an image forming program for real-time mechanical control and another program, using a single cache memory for the image forming program and said another program. The image forming device includes: a cache lockdown unit that executes a cache lockdown to lock down a storage area of the cache memory that stores at least a portion of the image forming program necessary for image formation processing; and a print unit that executes the image formation processing while the storage area is locked down.

A method for creating digital documents from hardcopy documents by means of a reproduction system including a display and a scanner includes detecting an event of an intended scanning of a hardcopy document; upon detection of the event, opening an image adjustment screen at the display, the screen including an image area, a scan settings area and a process button; displaying at the image area of the screen a digital image; displaying, at the scan settings area of the screen, image parameter values; activating the image parameter values by activating the process button; closing the screen at the display; scanning the hardcopy document according to the image parameter values corresponding with the displayed digital image resulting in a digital document; and selecting the digital image to be displayed to be either equal to a digital image that has been previously stored, or equal to a predetermined other digital image.

An information processing system according to the present disclosure includes a storage unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The storage unit stores a representative image and a local image for each of a plurality of tour points. The representative image is a representatively-acquired image showing a corresponding tour point of the plurality of tour points. The local image shows a locally-acquired image at the corresponding tour point of the plurality of tour points. The input unit inputs information including designation information indicating a destination point of a tour designated by a participant of the tour. The control unit determines a relay point based on the destination point, and determines a tour route based on the destination point and the relay point.
