An image printing system includes a plurality of image printing apparatuses each configured to accept a print order and print the image data, a payment machine performing a billing process, and a ticketing machine. If payment at the payment machine is selected, the image printing apparatus issues a first ticket and transmits order details to the payment machine. If payment at a counter is selected, the image printing apparatus 1 transmits second key information to the ticketing machine. After performing a billing process, the payment machine issues a third ticket on which first key information is printed and transmits the first key information to the image printing apparatus. The ticketing machine issues a fourth ticket including the second key information. The image printing apparatus prints the image data if accepting input of the key information printed on the third ticket or the fourth ticket.

A transmitting apparatus includes a communication interface that transmits data according to a transmission job, and a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories. The controller is configured to set a setting of outputting of a transmission report indicating a transmission result of the transmission job as a device setting of the apparatus, set the setting of outputting of the transmission report as a setting of the transmission job, and set whether or not to accept the setting of outputting of the transmission report of the transmission job as the device setting of the apparatus.

An image forming apparatus capable of communicating with one or more information processing apparatuses via a network, includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured to perform log generation of generating a plurality of types of logs including a log related to a job, and to perform log storage of storing the plurality of types of logs, wherein the log storage stores a first type log and a second type log larger than the first type log in volume when the job is a job related to a first condition of using an external network, and stores the first type log and does not store the second type log when the job is a job related to a condition different from the first condition.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of reducing network traffic in sending an audit log. The image forming apparatus is communicable with a communication apparatus. The audit log including multiple types of logs is stored in at least one of the storage device or an external storage device. On receiving from the communication apparatus a request for sending the audit log, the image forming apparatus performs control for sending the audit log to the communication apparatus. In the control for sending the audit log, on receiving the request for sending the audit log, the image forming apparatus sends, to the communication apparatus, information indicating a storage location of one or more logs each having a data amount larger than a predetermined amount among the logs included in the audit log, rather than the one or more logs.

According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a communicator, a storage, and a controller, in which the controller stores destination information received from a terminal device, via the communicator, in the storage, and erases the destination information from the storage in response to a trigger. In the image processing apparatus, the destination information is retained at least until a trigger input is made.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server which controls displaying of received image data in a talk room of a chat service provided by the chat server, based on received information about the talk room, and controls transmission of a notification, based on received user information on a notification destination user, the image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an image of a document to generate image data based on the image, a registration unit configured to register the talk room of the chat service and the notification destination user in association with an object, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by reading of the reading unit, the information about the talk room, and the user information on the communication destination user to the chat server, in response to selection of the object.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to control a status, between read and unread, of a document received by facsimile from a sender apparatus. The circuitry controls display of a proposal screen for proposing that a sender facsimile number satisfying a predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number. A facsimile from the rejected facsimile number is to be rejected or deleted.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server which controls displaying of received image data in a talk room of a chat service provided by the chat server, based on received information about the talk room, and controls transmission of a notification, based on received user information on a notification destination user, the image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an image of a document to generate image data based on the image, a registration unit configured to register the talk room of the chat service and the notification destination user in association with an object, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by reading of the reading unit, the information about the talk room, and the user information on the communication destination user to the chat server, in response to selection of the object.

An information equipment management system includes a personal identification apparatus which is portable and capable of acquiring biometric information of a carrying person thereof and thereby identifying the carrying person, an information equipment, and an information equipment management server for managing use approval/disapproval information which is management information on approval or disapproval of use of the information equipment. The personal identification apparatus includes an acquisition part for acquiring use approval/disapproval information of the information equipment relating to the carrying person, which is use approval/disapproval information managed by the information equipment management server, from the information equipment management server and a storage part for storing therein the use approval/disapproval information acquired from the information equipment management server. The information equipment controls an operation of the information equipment by using the use approval/disapproval information stored in the storage part of the personal identification apparatus.

A system in an embodiment includes an image forming apparatus, an erasing apparatus, a first apparatus, and a display unit. The image forming apparatus forms an image on a sheet using a decolorable color material. The erasing apparatus decolorizes an image. The first apparatus computes, from a reduction in the number of sheets achieved by a setting for image formation in the image forming apparatus, the amount of a reduction in environmental burdens achieved by use of the image forming apparatus and computes, from the number of sheets erased by the erasing apparatus, the amount of a reduction in environmental burdens achieved by use of the erasing apparatus. The display unit simultaneously displays the amount of the reduction in environmental burdens achieved by the image forming apparatus and the amount of the reduction in environmental burdens achieved by the erasing apparatus.
