A print system including a printing apparatus and an inspection apparatus, the printing apparatus obtains, from a print job, image data to be used for printing, registers in the inspection apparatus the image data as a reference image, in response to completion of registration of the reference image in the inspection apparatus, executes printing on a sheet based on the print job, and notifies the inspection apparatus of an instruction for inspecting the sheet on which printing has been performed. The inspection apparatus registers the image data received from the printing apparatus as the reference image, and in response to the instruction for inspecting, inspects the sheet on which the printing has been performed in the printing apparatus.

An output product producing method includes acquiring output information, specifying an output condition for an output section, converting the output information into a code having an error-correction amount corresponding to the output condition, and causing the output section to output an output product including the code under the output condition.

An information processing apparatus executes a printer driver that requests an image processing apparatus to perform image processing on data. The information processing apparatus includes a processor, in communication with a memory, executing a process including executing, by a plurality of process executors, predetermined processes corresponding to extended functions added to the printer driver, according to a request from the printer driver; storing process information relating to the predetermined processes that are respectively executed by the plurality of process executors; determining an execution order of the predetermined processes that are respectively executed by the plurality of process executors in the printer driver, based on the stored process information; and requesting the plurality of process executors to execute, on the data, the predetermined processes in the determined execution order, according to an instruction from the printer driver.

An information processing apparatus to which plural image forming apparatuses having different functions are connected and which transfers a print job transmitted from a terminal apparatus of a user to the image forming apparatus usable by the user, includes a generation unit that generates a model group of the image forming apparatus usable by the user, for each user.

An image processing apparatus including a transmission function for transmitting an image sets whether to permit use of a destination not previously registered. The image processing apparatus also receives, from an external apparatus, data including at least a destination field. The image processing apparatus sets the transmission destination based on destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set permitting use of a previously un-registered destination and does not set the transmission destination based on the destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set prohibiting use of a previously un-registered destination.

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions which cause an information processor to execute: a first determination processing for determining whether at least one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition is established; a first communication processing for receiving input data obtained from an input device and transmitting the input data to an output device, when at least one of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established; and a second communication processing for transmitting instruction information to the input device when none of at least one condition determined in the first determination processing among the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established. The instruction information is for instructing the input device to transmit the input data to the output device.

An information processing apparatus includes a user interface unit configured to receive a function execution request for processes, the function execution request containing designations of an input function and an output function; a search and linkage unit configured to acquire pieces of specifications information indicating functions of an input device and an output device from the respective devices, and generate, based on the pieces of specifications information, a linkage flow indicating an execution sequence and a combination of an input device and an output device which respectively have an input function and an output function designated in the function execution request, the devices executing the functions, respectively, in linkage with each other; and a flow executing unit configured to send process requests to the input device and the output device designated in the linkage flow, respectively.

An image processing apparatus including a transmission function for transmitting an image sets whether to permit use of a destination not previously registered. The image processing apparatus also receives, from an external apparatus, data including at least a destination field. The image processing apparatus sets the transmission destination based on destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set permitting use of a previously un-registered destination and does not set the transmission destination based on the destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set prohibiting use of a previously un-registered destination.

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions which cause an information processor to execute: a first determination processing for determining whether at least one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition is established; a first communication processing for receiving input data obtained from an input device and transmitting the input data to an output device, when at least one of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established; and a second communication processing for transmitting instruction information to the input device when none of at least one condition determined in the first determination processing among the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established. The instruction information is for instructing the input device to transmit the input data to the output device.

An information processing apparatus includes a provider identification information acquiring unit that acquires a piece of provider identification information for each of a plurality of devices that cooperatively execute a plurality of functions, based on device identification information of the device, the piece of provider identification information allowing identification of whether a provider of the device is a predetermined provider as a provider of a cooperating function; a determining unit that determines whether a non predetermined-provider device provided by a provider other than the predetermined provider exists among the devices based on pieces of the provider identification information; a charge processing unit that performs charge processing to profit the predetermined provider when the non predetermined-provider device exists; and a cooperation controlling unit that controls the devices to cooperatively execute the functions based on the cooperating function.
