Input/output (I/O) operation requests from pageable storage mode guests are interpreted without host intervention. In a pageable mode virtual environment, requests issued by pageable storage mode guests are processed by one or more processors of the environment absent intervention from one or more hosts of the environment. Processing of the requests includes manipulating, by at least one processor on behalf of the guests, buffer state information stored in host storage. The manipulating is performed via instructions initiated by the guests and processed by one or more of the processors.

An information input apparatus is communicable via a network with an information processing apparatus that manages request information for requesting processing from an information storage service and an information display service. The information input apparatus includes circuitry configured to: generate data; acquire the request information from the information processing apparatus; request the information storage service to store the data, based on the request information; and request, based on the request information, registration of information regarding the data stored by the information storage service, for display of the information by the information display service.

According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a communication device, a storage device, a display, a printer, and a processor. The communication device receives a document from a different apparatus. The processor causes the display to display, on the basis of the received documents stored in the storage device, a list of the received documents in an unprinted state, which are not yet printed by the printer, by distinguishing between the received document in an unread state that is not yet displayed by the display and the received document in an already-read state that is already displayed by the display.

A method of automatically displaying a predetermined set of print attributes of a print job, the method including receiving an image of a first printed sheet, the first printed sheet including one or more at least partial machine-readable codes, the one or more at least partial machine-readable codes encoded with data related to the predetermined set of print attributes, decoding the data from the one or more at least partial machine-readable codes, determining if the data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, and if the data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, displaying the data using augmented reality (AR) over the first printed sheet.

This disclosure provides a document management method and system to monitor activity associated with a processed document according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the document management system is configured to apply security controls to a document and provide a full organizational audit history of documents processed.

An image forming apparatus downloads a content via a network and prints an image of the content. when a shift instruction to shift to a first display process is input from a user operation unit after a registration process is completed, a control unit repeats the first display process, a second display process and the registration process so that another content information is newly created and stored in a first storage unit, and when a print instruction to start printing is input from the user operation unit after the registration process is completed, the control unit downloads contents indicated with the content information stored in the first storage unit wherein these contents are defined as print target contents, and sequentially executes print operations for the images of one or more of the print target contents with the print conditions associated with the print target contents.

A PC registers in advance PC-assistant copying functions which can be provided by the printer driver for a MFP. The MFP presents, to the user, copying functions including the registered functions. Upon reception of a copy instruction, the MFP determines whether selected functions include a PC-assisted copying function. If the selected functions include a PC-assisted copying function, the MFP transmits, to the PC, scanned image data and a job ticket containing information representing the selected functions. Upon reception of the job ticket, the PC generates a print job for printing the image data on the basis of the job ticket, and transmits the print job to the MFP.
