The main setting window shows images of resource saving buttons and a start decision button. Each of the resource saving buttons enables a user to select a printing function that can contribute to a resource saving more effectively than the already selected printing function or functions. The start decision button enables the user to decisively instruct the information processor to start the printing. | 10-21-2010 |
20110058194 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINT CONTROL METHOD, AND PRINT CONTROL PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus, a print control method, and a print control program are provided that are capable of printing after changing print setting by an easy operation for a application program in operating. Together with two windows of document creating programs which are operating, a gadget indicating calendar information and a print setting gadget are displayed as gadget programs in an area of the right side of a desktop screen of a PC. When a print setting button of the print setting gadget is selected, the print setting condition corresponding to the selected button and the application program in operating are stored, and when a print request is made from the application program, the setting value of a printer driver is changed for printing. | 03-10-2011 |
20120268780 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE OUTPUT SYSTEM - An information processing apparatus searches the image output apparatus connected to a network according to an image output system decided based on user operation and obtains device information and state information thereof. Then, the device information and the state information are displayed on a search result display portion of a display screen. At the time, on the search result display portion, the image output apparatus is displayed in ascending order of power consumed up until image output is able to be performed based on the state information of the searched image output apparatus. A user performs an operation to arbitrarily select the image output apparatus displayed on the search result display portion, so as to execute image output processing desired by the user by the selected image output apparatus. | 10-25-2012 |
