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 information processing apparatus includes circuitry to, store, in a memory, received fax data as a stored document in a distribution destination folder corresponding to the fax data, in response to detection of a delete operation performed on the stored document, determine a state of the stored document to generate a first determination result, when the first determination result indicates that the stored document is in a read state, determine whether a period from a time at which the stored document was read to a time at which the delete operation was performed is within a preset period to generate a second determination result, and when the first determination result indicates that the stored document is in an unread state, or when the second determination result indicates that the period is within the preset period, copy the stored document to a specific folder and delete the stored document.

There is provided a mobile terminal. A near field communication unit performs near field communication. A wireless communication unit performs wireless communication that differs in a communication protocol from the near field communication. An acquiring unit, when a connection with an image forming apparatus is established through the near field communication unit, acquires identification information of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus through the near field communication unit. A print instructing unit, when the acquiring unit acquires the identification information, but print completion information is not recorded in a storage unit, transmits print instruction information to instruct printing of data to the image forming apparatus of the identification information through the wireless communication unit or the near field communication unit, and records the print completion information in the storage unit.

An image forming apparatus includes a setting unit, an image reading unit, an image forming unit, and a setting changing unit. The setting unit sets copying conditions. The image reading unit reads images from sheets to generate image data and writes the image data into a memory unit. The image forming unit forms images on sheets based on the image data written into the memory unit. The setting changing unit changes the setting of the copying conditions when a new copying condition is set during the image forming of the image data written into the memory unit.
