In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.

An information processing apparatus includes an imaging device to image a medium, a communication device provided so as to communicate with a plurality of information processing apparatuses, and a processor to acquire a use state of the image reading apparatus, set an information processing apparatus capable of executing imaging control of the imaging device, and control the imaging device according to an instruction signal from the set information processing apparatus. The processor determines whether to set a second information processing apparatus as the information processing apparatus capable of executing the imaging control, based on the use state, when receiving a request signal of the imaging control from the second information processing apparatus in a state where a first information processing apparatus is set as the information processing apparatus capable of executing the imaging control.

An information processing apparatus includes one or plural first plug-ins that are prepared according to a type of a data output apparatus for outputting data and collect data output from the data output apparatus, one or plural second plug-ins that receive data from the first plug-in and transmit the received data to an external apparatus, and a plug-in management unit that controls activation and stop of the first plug-in and the second plug-in.

In filter processing, a filter coefficient for which a weighting has been set is used for each of a plurality of pixels in a sub-scanning direction in a predetermined section of a main-scanning direction and the weighting for each of the plurality of pixels is determined such that a center of gravity of the weighting shifts in the main-scanning direction gradually from one end of the predetermined section to the other end.

A cloud link system is connected with another cloud link system. In a list of cloud services includes a first cloud service connected to the cloud link system without the another cloud link system and a second cloud service connected to the another cloud link system.

An information processing apparatus includes, a reception unit configured to receive an instruction to transfer the information processing apparatus to the second power state, an analysis unit configured, when the reception unit receives the instruction, to analyze a factor limiting the transfer of the information processing apparatus to the second power state, and a control unit configured, when the analysis unit analyzes the factor and as a result the factor is a first factor, to control the information processing apparatus to transfer to the third power state without waiting until the factor is resolved, and configured, when the factor is a second factor, to control the information processing apparatus to wait until the factor is resolved, and to transfer to the second power state.

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit changes between a first setting and a second setting of a collaborative function, the second setting being different from the first setting, at least one of a display position of an image and display of connection between images, the image and the images each being associated with a function to be used for the collaborative function.

An information processing apparatus capable of resetting the system when a sub CPU abnormally operates. A controller includes a main CPU for controlling operation of the system and a sub CPU for controlling operation of specific internal devices. A first WDT circuit and a second WDT circuit are set to a first timer time and a second timer time according to respective reset signals received from the sub CPU. According to a first interrupt signal output from the first WDT circuit based on expiration of the first timer time, the second timer time is controlled to be extended to a predetermined time and execution of a process for rebooting the controller is controlled. According to a second interrupt signal output from the second WDT circuit based on expiration of the extended second timer time, execution of a process for resetting the system is controlled.

This image processing apparatus accepts a request to execute predetermined image processing, acquires an image processing name indicating a name of the predetermined image processing from the accepted request, selects a plugin application corresponding to the acquired image processing name from one or more installed plugin applications, and instructs the selected plugin application to perform the predetermined image processing.

In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.
