An energy saving setting unit controls an image forming apparatus that makes a transition to a power saving state if a transition time passes without any prescribed operation in a normal state, and it includes: a unit for storing specific day information distinguishing a normal operation day and a specific day; an auto pattern updating unit determining the transition time in a normal operation day based on past operational status of the normal operation day of the image forming apparatus; a specific day pattern registering unit receiving and storing setting of the transition time of the specific day; and a switching unit, switching the state of conduction of the image forming apparatus using the transition time determined by the auto pattern updating unit and the stored transition time, on the normal operation day and on the specific day, respectively, based on the specific day information.

A mobile terminal capable of setting a cover sheet and a header of a fax document and causing an image forming apparatus to transmit the fax document. Cover data representative of a cover sheet is created according to the settings of a cover sheet of a fax document, and header data representative of a header is created according to the settings of a header of the fax document. Upon receipt of an instruction for transmitting a fax document from the user, the mobile terminal transmits an instruction to the image forming apparatus for reading an original and transmitting the fax document, together with transmission destination information indicative of a transmission destination to which the fax document is to be transmitted and at least one of the cover data and the header data.

To make it possible to appropriately determine whether to register a number in an address book for fax data from the number not registered in the address book. A fax data management system including: a management unit configured to, in the case where a fax number of received fax data is not registered in address book data, in which a name and a fax number of a source of transmission are registered in association with each other, manage information including at least the fax number of the received fax data as unregistered address information; a display unit configured to display the unregistered address information and an image corresponding to the received fax data of which the fax number is not registered in the address book data; and a registration unit configured to register a fax number selected from the unregistered address information in the address book data, the registered fax number being associated with a name of the source of transmission.

Provided herein are processing systems including a camera that is arranged to capture an image of a delivery item. The system also includes a hardware processor that is operably connected to the camera and that is configured to perform operations that include capturing, using the camera, an image of a delivery item that is undeliverable to an intended recipient or at an intended delivery location, where the image includes an address of the intended recipient. The operations also include embedding, by the hardware processor, processing data with the image of the delivery item to thereby generate an embedded image, and notifying a sender of the delivery item that the delivery item is undeliverable using the embedded image. Also provided herein are related computer readable media and methods of processing delivery items that are undeliverable.

The disclosure relates to a method of transmitting fax messages from at least one fax message sending device to at least one fax message receiving device. The method is implemented in a fax communication device driver. The method comprises the steps of receiving, from a fax server software module, fax data associated with a fax message to be transmitted from a fax message sending device to a fax message receiving device; deciding, on the basis of at least one predetermined routing rule, whether to route the fax data to the fax communication device or to the cloud provider; and based on a decision result, selectively transmitting the fax data to the fax communication device or to the cloud provider for transmission to the fax message receiving device.

An information processing apparatus that serves as a display that displays a list of processes executed by applications includes a list display controller and an operation screen display controller. The list display controller causes, for each of the processes, an operator to be displayed in the list, the operator being provided for displaying an operation screen for performing operation of a function that is specific to corresponding one of the applications. The operation screen display controller causes the operation screen provided for the operator to be displayed when the operator is operated in the list.

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus, including: an input unit that inputs an original data; an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording sheet in accordance with the original data; an operation panel that comprises a display unit and an operating unit and that receives an operation for entering a job for forming the image on the recording sheet by using the image forming unit; a display control unit that displays one or more types of window on the display unit of the operation panel; and a conference information obtaining unit that obtains conference information of a conference held in a conference room which is placed near the image forming apparatus, from a predetermined conference management server that manages the conference information of the conference, wherein the display control unit displays the conference information on the display unit from the conference management server.

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for selectively transferring image data from user equipment to a coupled external device. The method may include determining whether user equipment is coupled to an external device, receiving selection inputs from a user for selecting at least one of applications installed in the user equipment when the user equipment is determined as being coupled to the external device, and selectively transferring image data produced in the user equipment based on the selected application. The method may further include controlling the coupled external device to display the transferred image data on a display unit of the coupled external device.

A facsimile, a control method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The facsimile designates destination information according to a designation operation by a user, extracts the destination information from an image indicated by image information, determines whether the destination information designated according to the designation operation and the destination information extracted from the image match, and display on a display, a notification screen based on a result of determination.
