An information processing apparatus capable of executing near field wireless communication, comprises: a display unit configured to display a screen; an obtaining unit configured to obtain identification information regarding a device from a near field wireless communication tag with use of the near field wireless communication; a selection unit configured, in a case where the obtaining unit obtained the identification information, to select one of first processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and second processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and sending data to the device, based on a type of screen being displayed by the display unit; and a processing unit configured to execute the processing selected by the selection unit.

An image processing apparatus includes a first obtaining unit that obtains attribute information that specifies a process performed by an image forming apparatus in accordance with a print job including print data, a generation unit that generates a display image on the basis of the print data included in the print job, and a determination unit that determines a display color of a drawing area which corresponds to an area of a recording medium for printing the print data and in which a display image generated by the generation unit is to be disposed. If the attribute information specifies that a white color material be used, the determination unit determines the display color of the drawing area as a color other than white.

An MFD is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes a printhead to dispense print material, an enhancement printhead to dispense an enhancement printing fluid, a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions. The instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations that include determining that an automated enhancement feature was selected, analyzing each pixel of an image to be printed to determine one or more pixels that are to receive the enhancement printing fluid, controlling the printhead to print the image, and controlling the enhancement printhead to dispense the enhancement printing fluid on the one or more pixels that are to receive the enhancement printing fluid.

A control method causes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application to perform activating in response to a first print request from a drawing application, acquiring intermediate data based on drawing data generated by the drawing application, and outputting intermediate data. In a case where a second print request is issued by a printer driver that has acquired intermediate data output from a GUI application, the GUI application is re-activated in response to the second print request, and a predetermined screen is provided by the GUI application that has been activated in response to the second print request issued by the printer driver.

An information processing apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus includes a display control unit configured to perform control for displaying at least a predetermined image in a predetermined display region and shifting a display position of the predetermined image displayed in the display region in accordance with a command from a user, a setting unit configured to set a value used for adjusting a position where the image forming apparatus prints an image onto a recording medium based on the display position of the predetermined image in the display region, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the value set by the setting unit to the image forming apparatus.

When performing an edit process to add target information input by a handwriting operation to image data, a control portion makes a touch screen display a preview image, and an operation panel accepts a position specifying operation to specify a position in the preview image. When a position corresponding to a line space between a first line area and a second line area is specified, the control portion moves at least one of the first and second line areas to a position that does not overlap with the target information.

A control method for an information processing apparatus which comprises a memory that stores a graphical user interface (GUI) application capable of providing a GUI in a case where a driver that does not have a function of providing a GUI is selected, the control method includes causing the GUI application to acquire drawing data generated by a drawing application, acquiring, by the GUI application, at least either of data including information indicating a setting and data including information indicating a capability of the driver, and providing, the GUI application, a first display item.

An image processing apparatus including a job executer that executes a job pertaining to image processing, a storage capable of storing history information pertaining to the execution of the job by associating the history information with an executing user of the job, a display capable of displaying the history information, a recognizer that recognizes the executing user, and a controller, in which when the recognizer recognizes the executing user before the executing user is authenticated, the controller preferentially displays the history information associated with the recognized executing user on the display.

To make it easy for a user to grasp with which text block within a preview pane, a setting item within a property pane is associated. By using a color allocated to a setting item displayed in the property pane, at least a part of a display field corresponding to the setting item is colored. Then, in a case where a user selects one of text blocks in a scanned image preview-displayed in the preview pane in the state where one of setting item is selected in the property pane, the text block is colored by using a color allocated to the setting item in the selected state.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to acquire read image data of an image formed on a recording medium. The circuitry is configured to acquire output target image data according to which the image is formed. The circuitry is configured to generate, based on the output target image data, inspection image data for inspection of the read image data. The circuitry is configured to compare the read image data corrected based on an amount of deviation caused by conveyance of the recording medium with the inspection image data generated, to detect an image abnormality. The circuitry is configured to highlight and output a position of a portion of the image abnormality in the read image data before correction, based on the amount of deviation caused by conveyance of the recording medium, in response to the image abnormality being detected.
