An image processing apparatus includes a display device and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a first screen for display on the display device and on which one of a plurality of malfunctioning part candidates of the image processing apparatus and one of a plurality of timings at which a particular sound was output by the image processing apparatus that malfunctioned, are selectable, when a first malfunctioning part candidate and a first timing are selected on the first screen, generate a second screen for display on the display device and on which one or more reference sounds corresponding to the particular sound are selectable, and when one of the reference sounds is selected on the second screen, generate error information indicating the first malfunctioning part candidate and the selected reference sound.

A processing apparatus includes: a storage that stores a plurality of instructions; and a processor that executes the plurality of instructions. The plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform: providing a setting screen for setting one or more items relating to the processing apparatus; and setting the one or more items in response to operation performed on the setting screen. The setting screen includes a first setting screen for receiving operation performed by a person, and a second setting screen for receiving operation automated by Robotic Process Automation.

A server apparatus provides a social networking service (SNS). The server apparatus stores a specific relation between a terminal apparatus and a printer that are allowed for communication using the SNS. The server apparatus stores relations between one or more icons and commands each corresponding to a respective one of the icons and including an image forming condition and an image forming instruction. Upon receiving a selected icon having been selected on the terminal apparatus, information indicating a selected printer having been selected on the terminal apparatus out of printers in specific relations with the terminal apparatus, and a piece of image data from the terminal apparatus, the server apparatus transmits a command corresponding to the selected icon and the piece of image data to the selected printer.

Provided is a document management system for managing document data by applying access restrictions to each metadata acquired by character recognition of document data to be managed. The mage forming apparatus acquires document data to be managed. The image-processing server performs character recognition of document data and acquires metadata. The image forming apparatus specifies metadata to be concealed in document data. The image forming apparatus receives a security setting, correlates a metadata name to be concealed with the security setting, and transmits the security setting together with document data to the image-processing server. The document-management server, in the case where there is an access request from a user for document data, allows access to the document data based on the security setting by not masking metadata for which there is access authority, and masking metadata for which there is no access authority.

An image processing apparatus includes a display panel, a storage medium, first and second display processing portions, and a function execution processing portion. A plurality of pieces of functional information organized in hierarchical layers are stored in the storage medium. The first display processing portion displays high-order commands in a first display frame, the high-order commands corresponding to the pieces of functional information that belong to a high-order layer. The second display processing portion, when a high-order command has been selected, displays low-order commands in a second display frame, the low-order commands corresponding to the pieces of functional information of a low-order layer that belongs to the high-order command. The function execution processing portion, when the high-order command has been selected and a low-order command has been selected, executes a function corresponding to a specific piece of functional information that is common to the selected commands.

The mage forming apparatus acquires document data to be managed. The image-processing server performs character recognition of document data and acquires metadata. The image forming apparatus specifies metadata to be concealed in document data. The image forming apparatus receives a security setting, correlates a metadata name to be concealed with the security setting, and transmits the security setting together with document data to the image-processing server. The document-management server, in the case where there is an access request from a user for document data, allows access to the document data based on the security setting by not masking metadata for which there is access authority, and masking metadata for which there is no access authority.

In order to enable appropriate selection of one operational mode from a plurality of operational modes by the user, on a home screen image allowing selection of an operational mode of an image forming apparatus, displayed are: an icon for selecting a copy mode related to image formation at the center; an icon for selecting a FAX mode with priority as a frequently selected mode related to image transmission; and icons allowing direct selection of other operational modes related to image transmission. On a condition setting screen image of a mode related to image transmission, a software button or buttons allowing transition to another mode related to image transmission are displayed.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for an information processing apparatus stores instructions realizing an edit screen control module, an image data creating module and a first device control module. The edit screen control module outputs first creation instruction information to the image data creating module, the image data creating module creates a display image data, and outputs the same to the edit screen control module, the edit screen control module display the displays image and outputs a second creation instruction information to the image data creation module, the image data creating module creates the first output image data and outputs the same to the edit screen control module, the edit screen control module outputs the first output instruction information to the first device control module, and the first device control module creates the second output image data corresponding to a selected device.
