An information processing system that improves the usability of the overall information processing system. The processing system, which includes an image processing apparatus and is capable of communicating with an audio control apparatus, outputs response information, as a response to the command generated based on a user's audio received through the audio control apparatus, wherein. Specifically, the processing system (a) in accordance with that a predetermined command generated based on first audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a first attribute information is obtained, outputs a first type of response information as a response to the predetermined command, and (b) in accordance with a predetermined command generated based on second audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a second attribute information is obtained, outputs a second type of response information as the response to the predetermined command.

An image processing apparatus receives destination information for use in data transmission, performs control, based on the received destination information including a destination in an email address format, so that a first screen, which is used to transmit data external to the image processing apparatus, and on which a transmission destination of the data is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit, and performs control, based on the received destination information including only a destination in a fax format so that a second screen, different from the first screen and used to perform fax transmission, on which a transmission destination of the fax transmission is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit.

Provided is an image forming device capable of managing a printing result of a specific content as a use history of a user designated in advance. According to embodiments, an image forming device includes a printer, a memory, and a processor. The printer forms an image on a medium. The memory stores information indicating a designated user with respect to a specific content as a printing person to print the specific content. When printing of a specific content for which a designated user as a printing person is stored in the memory in correspondence is requested, the processor controls printing of the specific content by the printer with the designated user as the printing person.

A printer has a lower module and upper module. The lower module has a paper feed unit and a printing unit. A back of the upper module is hinged to lower module. A paper handling part holds paper after printing by the printing unit. A discharge unit in the upper module moves the paper out of the upper module while maintaining a hold on a rear portion of the paper and to draw the paper back into the upper module after an elapse of time. A container includes a support member that rotates into contact with and moves away from a lower part of the upper module. The container configured to receive and store the paper that has been drawn back by the discharge unit. The paper is stored in a region between the support member and the lower part of the upper module.

A schedule coordination system includes a multifunction peripheral and an information processing apparatus. The multifunction peripheral includes a first communication I/F, a storage device in which schedule information indicating a task and a date and time of execution is stored, and a first control device that acts as a task scheduler that decides whether a current date and time has reached a predetermined date and time of startup, on a basis of the schedule information, and performs, upon deciding that the current date and time has reached the date and time of startup, a predetermined process necessary for executing the task indicated by the schedule information, and a controller that executes the task. The information processing apparatus includes a second communication I/F and a second control device that acts as an executor that executes an operation according to a command transmitted from the task scheduler.

Disclosed herein is a method and a printer driver unit for printing variable copies of a plurality of pages in a document. In an embodiment, a user input comprising a number of copies of the plurality of pages to be printed is received from a user. Further, the user input is parsed to determine the plurality of pages to be printed and the number of copies that each of the plurality of pages to be printed. Thereafter, the content of each of the plurality of pages is retrieved from a temporary file or a memory associated with the printer driver unit and printed with the help of a printer device. Accordingly, the present disclosure allows users to print variable copies of plurality of pages on a single print action, and thereby enhances speed of printing and ensures optimal usage of resources.

An image processing apparatus includes an acquirer that can acquire destination information from an external device, a job executor that executes a transmission job using the acquired destination information, and a controller. The controller controls display of the destination information in accordance with a screen mode of the transmission job, that has accepted a request to acquire the destination information.

A control unit is capable of selectively executing a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a mode in which a plurality of sheets having different sizes including a non-standard size are fed by the feeding unit, and the second mode being a mode in which a plurality of sheets having different sizes including only standard sizes are fed by the feeding unit. If the detection unit detects a sheet in a state where the supporting portion is located at the second position and the first mode is selected, the control unit waits for an instruction to start sheet feeding without causing the lifting unit to lift the supporting portion to the first position, and causes the lifting unit to lift the supporting portion to the first position in response to the instruction to start sheet feeding.

An image forming apparatus prints an image on a sheet. The image forming apparatus includes a casing, a plurality of open/close devices, a plurality of fans, and a control device. The casing includes a plurality of openings and a plurality of ventilation holes. The plurality of open/close devices are attached to the casing, and configured to open and close the respectively corresponding openings. The plurality of fans each generate an airflow from inside of the casing to a corresponding one of the plurality of ventilation holes. The control device controls operation of the plurality of fans. The control device also detects occurrence of an event that restricts execution of the printing, identifies a type of the event, selects at least one of the plurality of fans according to the type of the event, and drives the selected fan.
