An information processing apparatus capable of instructing a facsimile transmission by controlling a device capable of transmission and receiving of a facsimile, and a method of controlling the apparatus are provided. The apparatus specifies address information indicating a transmission destination of a designated document, and determine whether or not the specified address information includes information of a communication mode. If the address information includes the information of the communication mode, in a case where a driver, that instructs the device to perform the facsimile transmission, supports the communication mode, the apparatus performs the facsimile transmission in accordance with the address information and the communication mode, and if the specified address information does not include the information of the communication mode, the apparatus performs the facsimile transmission in accordance with a communication mode that the driver supports.

An image output apparatus includes an image printer, a history memory, and a history display. The image printer prints an image based on image data in accordance with adjunct data for each job including a set of the image data expressing one set of images and the adjunct data necessary for image printing based on, the image data. The history memory records and stores printing history of printing performed, for each job in the image printer. The printing history includes recording of whether or not any one of predetermined types of errors has occurred and the type of error when occurred. The history display displays the history such that an icon corresponding to an error occurred in a job is displayed in correspondence with the job. The icon is one of icons respectively corresponding to groups obtained by classifying the predetermined types of errors into multiple groups.

An image processing device is configured to provide a service relating to at least one of (1) the image data generated by the function of the image processing device and (2) image data representing the image to be formed, in response to a request from the image processing device. The image processing device may include a parameter designating unit, a service request unit, and a function implementation unit that is adapted to implement the function of the image processing device based on the service providing parameter designated by the parameter designating unit. The service providing device is provided with a service provision executing unit that is adapted to execute a process to provide the service to the image processing device after receiving the request from the service request unit provided to the image processing device.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor, and memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the apparatus to operate as: a template image data generating unit configured to generate template image data representing a template image including a body area for writing information therein, and also including a keyword area for writing information therein for specifying a keyword to be associated with target image data representing a target image including the body area having information written therein, from among plural keywords; and a template image data providing unit configured to provide the template image data to a printing unit.

A job processing system includes: a job processing apparatus configured to execute an input job; and a plurality of terminals configured to receive an operation to set a job to be input to the job processing apparatus including: a processor configured to have a function of acquiring setting information indicating setting contents of a job for which a terminal has received a setting operation from a user by a first method and a second method; and a saving unit configured to save job setting information, the processor being configured to determine whether a first job setting operation is to be taken over by another terminal, and combine first job setting information with setting information about a job corresponding to a job setting operation received from a user by another terminal, and the job processing apparatus accepting an input of the first job.

A document ID is recorded in an operation log, and an operation ID and document ID are recorded in a job log. The job log and operation log are set such that they can be searched in association with each other. An operation log record associated with a designated document record is read and added to a result list (S2104). Operation log records are read out one by one from the result list. If an associated document ID is found, it is added to a target document ID (S2109). Further, an operation log record associated with the found document ID is added to the result list (S2104).

A transmission job for transmitting image data is executed. A report indicating a result of transmission of the image data is output. A first instruction regarding output of the report is accepted as a common setting for a plurality of transmission jobs. A second instruction regarding output of the report is accepted as an individual setting for a specific transmission job. Control is performed so as to output the report if the second instruction indicates that the report is to be output, even if the first instruction does not indicate that the report is to be output.

A service registration system includes a server that provides a service through a network, a peripheral device capable of communicating with the server and using the service, and a terminal device capable of communicating with the server and the peripheral device. When the terminal device receives the registration requesting information representing information related to registration necessary for using the service from a user, the terminal device transmits registration requesting information to the server. When the server receives the registration requesting information from the terminal device, the server transmits service information necessary for using the service. Further, the terminal device can transmit the service information to the peripheral device when it receives the service information from the server. Further, when the peripheral device receives the service information from the terminal device, the peripheral device stores the received service information and operates in a mode where the service is usable.

An image forming apparatus supporting a near field communication (NFC) function and a method of performing setting an image job by using an NFC device. The method includes tagging an NFC device to receive setting information stored in the NFC device and performing an image job based on the received setting information.
