An image processing apparatus includes a display, an input device, and a processor configured to accept, through the input device, a user input of identification information about a package for delivery, acquire information about a plurality of document types used in a delivery service, generate a screen displayed on the display, the screen showing a preview of a print image for each of the document types, upon selection of a previewed print image, encode the identification information into a code, and output the selected print image together with the code for printing. The previewed print image includes a signature field and a code field in which the code is to be printed.

A system includes an image forming apparatus, a first document server apparatus, and a key server apparatus, the image forming apparatus being configured to determine whether document data is private or public, when the document data is determined to be private, then determine a level accessible to the document data, and transmit level information indicating the level and the document data to the first document server apparatus, the first document server apparatus being configured to receive the level information and the document data from the image forming apparatus, generate a document ID for identifying the document data, store the document data in association with the document ID, transmit the document ID to the image forming apparatus, determine an accessible user ID that identifies a user accessible to the document data based on the level information, generate a public key and a private key used to encrypt the document data.

An inspection apparatus includes a display control unit configured to display information on a display unit, a setting unit configured to set one or more areas including an object to be inspected, and an inspection unit configured to inspect data read from the object included in the one or more areas set by the setting unit. The display control unit displays a graphic to enable recognition of an upper limit of data to be inspected by the inspection apparatus. When the setting unit sets one or more areas, the display control unit displays values based on an amount of data on the object included in the one or more areas set by the setting unit as a graph.

Techniques for characterizing an optical system (for example, a printer verifier) are provided. In this regard, the optical system may be characterized for scanning a printed image. The characterization of the optical system includes determining an effective aperture size of the optical system, and correspondingly an effective resolution at which the optical system can be configured to scan a portion of the printed image according to verification requirements.

A system includes an image forming apparatus, a first document server apparatus, and a key server apparatus, the image forming apparatus being configured to determine whether document data is private or public, when the document data is determined to be private, then determine a level accessible to the document data, and transmit level information indicating the level and the document data to the first document server apparatus, the first document server apparatus being configured to receive the level information and the document data from the image forming apparatus, generate a document ID for identifying the document data, store the document data in association with the document ID, transmit the document ID to the image forming apparatus, determine an accessible user ID that identifies a user accessible to the document data based on the level information, generate a public key and a private key used to encrypt the document data.

A delivery system including an information processing apparatus operated by a user, a printing apparatus and a server that instructs delivery of a consumable of the printing apparatus. The information processing apparatus requests screen information for making a contract related to the delivery of the consumable to the server, displays a screen based on the screen information received from the server, and transmit registration information input on the screen to the server. The server creates the screen information and transmits the screen information to the information processing apparatus, makes a contract of the delivery of the consumable to be used in the printing apparatus with the user, based on the registration information, and delivers the consumable to the user when a remaining amount of the consumable is less than a predetermined amount in the printing apparatus.

An electronic device includes circuitry to determine whether to reject or accept a facsimile being transmitted from a transmission source based on a common transmission source list. The common transmission source list is shared by a plurality of electronic devices including the electronic device. The circuitry further outputs a part of the facsimile in response to determining that the transmission source is one from which the facsimile is to be rejected, based on the common transmission source list.

An image processing device includes a controller, a device information generator that generates device information including identification information of the image processing device, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller displays the generated device information on the terminal device and, based on the setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device that read the displayed device information, controls the job executor to output the job at the predetermined setting.

A multifunction inkjet printer that displays an image on a display device includes: an operation display unit configured to receive an instruction from a user; and a CPU configured to control the display device to display an image, wherein, in a state where display on the display device is being performed at a first refresh rate, in response to the operation display unit receiving an instruction for displaying a code to be captured by a mobile terminal, the CPU is configured to control the display device to display the code at a second refresh rate that has a higher frequency than the first refresh rate.

An image processing device includes a controller, a device information generator that generates device information including identification information of the image processing device, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller displays the generated device information on the terminal device and, based on the setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device that read the displayed device information, controls the job executor to output the job at the predetermined setting.
