A image processing system which make it possible to reduce user time and effort in checking OCR error image data. The image processing system performs OCR processing on image data generated by an image forming apparatus in response to selection of an object by a user and stores the image data in a folder having a folder name formed by using a character string obtained by the OCR processing. The system includes a storage control unit configured to store the image data, in a case where the character string obtained by performing the OCR processing on the generated image data does not satisfy a predetermined condition, in a folder associated with the object.

Systems, methods, and devices are configured to share a printable electronic document created as part of a job, such as a print, copy, or scan job, between users. They include receiving a command to print an electronic document associated with a job initiated on a multi-function device, the job initiated in response to an input from a first user. They further include receiving an input to share the electronic document associated with the job with a second user and identifying the second user. They also include sending a notification message to the identified second user, the notification message indicating an availability of the electronic document associated with the job to the identified second user.

Disclosed are various examples for network printer detection and authentication for managed device deployment. In one example, a computing environment can access a listing of network printers received from a printer discovery service executed in an enterprise device in an intranet behind a firewall. A user group associated with a client device enrolled with a management service can be identified as well as at least one of the network printers assigned to the user group. The client device can be remotely configured to access the at least one of the network printers assigned to the user group.

A nail polish application system may include a nail polish applicator to apply a curable nail polish to a nail of a user. An energy source may emit energy to selectively cure the curable nail polish. A sensor may be provided to detect a boundary of the nail of the user. The energy source may be configured to direct the energy to (i) the detected boundary of the nail during a first curing stage or (ii) to an area within the detected boundary of the nail during the first curing stage, and to (iii) avoid directing the energy to an area outside the detected boundary of the nail during the first curing stage.

Disclosed is an image reading device that may include: a first receiver receiving a reading job execution instruction by voice input; a second receiver receiving an instruction to convert first image data into second image data; and a CPU. The CPU may set a value of a setting category required for execution of a reading job to a first selectable value when no instruction is provided by the voice input for the setting category; execute the reading job according to the first selectable value to obtain the first image data; and generate the second image data from the first image data when the instruction to convert the first image data is received. The second image data may be equivalent to image data that would be obtained by the reading job executed according to a second selectable value, and the second image data can be generated from the first image data, but the reverse is not possible.

Disclosed is an image reading apparatus that may include a scan data acquirer that acquires scan data obtained by reading from printed matter output by an image forming apparatus, a magnification acquirer that acquires a magnification used when the printed matter is imaged, a reverse scaling part that generates reverse-scaled data obtained by scaling the scan data at a reverse magnification that is the reciprocal of the magnification acquired by the magnification acquirer, and a determiner that determines whether a predetermined reference image is included in the reverse-scaled data by comparing with the predetermined reference image.

Disclosed are various examples for network printer detection and authentication for managed device deployment. In one example, a computing environment can receive an identifier from a client device over a network, where the client device detects the identifier based on a wireless transmission performed by a transmitter in association with a print operation assigned to a network printer. The computing environment can determine whether an authentication is required at the network printer in association with the print operation and cause an agent application executable on the client device to obtain authentication data. An authentication can be performed based on the authentication data received from the client device and, in response to a successful authentication, causes the print operation to be performed by the network printer.

An image forming apparatus which can prevent from automatically deleting, without user's intention, a box document restored from another image forming apparatus. A document storage deadline is set with respect to a folder thereof for storing box documents so as to set, as a target to be deleted from the folder, a box document having been stored in the folder over the document storage deadline. When it is determined that one of the box documents stored in the folder is a restored document, the one of the box documents is controlled to be excluded from the target.

An image forming apparatus includes a storage device and a control device. The storage device stores a document. The control device includes a processor and functions, through the processor executing a control program, as a character recognizer and a tag generator. The character recognizer analyzes the document stored in the storage device and recognizes characters contained in the document. The tag generator analyzes, based on a recognition result of the character recognizer, a sequence of characters contained in the document and generates a tag expressing a feature of descriptive content of the document.
