A display device includes: a display to display a function display screen based on device functions; and a controller that controls displaying of the function display screen. The function display screen includes a fixed area where displayed content is fixed and a non-fixed area other than the fixed area. The controller determines a display format of the fixed area in accordance with a display format of the non-fixed area.

An image forming apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first printable amount corresponding to an upper limit on printing according to the first printing mode and a second printable amount corresponding to an upper limit on printing according to the second printing mode; a changing unit configured to, in a case where an amount to be printed by a job designating printing according to the first printing mode being executed exceeds the first printable amount, under a condition that the second printable amount would not be exceeded, change the printing according to the first printing mode designated by the job to printing according to the second printing mode; and an execution unit configured to execute the job after the change by the changing unit to printing according to the second printing mode.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to present, to a user, a second sheet on the basis of a visible property of a first sheet and an invisible property of the first sheet, the second sheet being different from the first sheet.

A printing condition setting method is a printing condition setting method of setting printing conditions in a printing apparatus, including a learning step of performing machine learning by using ink physical characteristics and ink type information, a similarity score calculation step of calculating a similarity score indicating a similarity of a use ink used for printing in the printing apparatus with respect to a learned ink learned in the learning step, and a printing condition setting step of setting the printing conditions according to the use ink based on the similarity score.

A printing system includes a printing device having a digital front end (DFE) and at least one client device that sends print jobs to the printing device. The DFE stores a device capability file that sets forth device and print options available for the printing device. The print options include a priority value, an option type, a grouping option, a print option icon, and a preview overlay graphic. A copy of the device capability file is made available to a client application on the client device. The client application retrieves all the print information from the device capability file. The client application also presents and previews the print options using the appropriate preview graphic overlay.

In an image forming apparatus, a consumable accommodates printing material and is mounted in a main casing. The consumable includes a consumable memory. A controller performs a restriction process to rewrite the first status information to indicate the used product to prohibit the consumable from being used in other image forming apparatuses in a case where first status information stored in the one of the consumable memory and a main memory indicates the new product. The controller performs an updating process to update the second status information so that the second status information indicates that the consumable can be temporarily used in the another image forming apparatus in a case where the controller receives a contract cancellation instruction. The contract cancellation instruction instructs to cancel an agreement concluded for the image forming apparatus.

In a printing system, a terminal device generates a plurality of pieces of print job data based on a data format list and transmit the generated print job data to a first multifunction machine, the first multifunction machine stores a plurality of pieces of received print job data, and performs printing based on print job data having the data format supported by the first multifunction machine itself when the first multifunction machine itself receives a print instruction from a user, and the second multifunction machine receives print job data having the data format supported by the second multifunction machine itself from the first multifunction machine when the second multifunction machine itself receives a print instruction from a user and performs printing based on the received print job data.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing system capable of supporting a plurality of printable areas for one paper size. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method in an information processing apparatus including: first printing control software; and second printing control software that converts first format print data output by the first printing control software into second format print data, and the control method includes: a first creation step of creating raster data based on the first format print data; a medium determination step of performing determination of whether a printing-target medium is a medium that needs a margin larger than a regular size; and a margin insertion step of performing margin insertion processing for raster data created at the first creation step.

A printing apparatus registers the printing apparatus in a cloud print service, and generates a printer queue storing a print job to be transmitted to the printing apparatus on the cloud print service. If the printing apparatus is associated with a virtual printer on the cloud print service, the printing apparatus acquires information of print jobs managed by the virtual printer from the cloud print service. If an operation for printing the print jobs managed by the virtual printer is received, the printing apparatus gives an instruction for moving a print job that is specified on the basis of at least the acquired information of the print jobs to the printer queue for the printing apparatus provided on the cloud print service, and acquires the moved print job.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: display on a device a flow list of flows that each include a series of processes and that have already been created; and create a flow for the device by replacing a process in a flow selected from the flow list by a user using the device with a process corresponding to device information set for the device.
