Abstract: Provided is an image forming system capable of updating internal data of an external device according to an instruction from a server. An app-installing unit installs an application for updating internal data of card reader in an image forming apparatus. An internal-data-updating unit causes the image forming apparatus to execute the application installed by the app-installing unit. An app-acquiring unit acquires the application from the server according to an instruction from the server. An app-executing unit executes the app acquired by the app-acquiring unit and updates the external device to the internal data. As a result, the internal data of the card reader is updated.

Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of flexible billing. The server manages billing of users that use image forming apparatuses. An authentication-acquiring unit acquires authentication information of users from image forming apparatuses. An authenticating unit authenticates users according to authentication acquired by the authentication-acquiring unit. A billing unit performs billing in which user billing information, which is billing information in units of the users authenticated by the authenticating unit, is applied to apparatus billing information, which is billing information in units of image forming apparatuses. A billing-control-transmitting unit transmits billing control information for controlling functions of the image forming apparatuses in correspondence with billing by the billing unit.

Abstract: A printing system includes a data processing device and an image forming apparatus. The data processing device processes print data. The data processing device includes a data receiving unit, a data managing unit, a data transmitting unit, and a preview image generating unit. The preview image generating unit generates a preview image based on print data. When the data receiving unit receives print data of a plurality of pages, the preview image generating unit automatically generates the preview image of a part of pages among the plurality of pages. The data managing unit manages the preview image generated by the preview image generating unit. When the data managing unit manages the preview image of a page requested from the image forming apparatus, the data transmitting unit transmits the preview image managed by the data managing unit to the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: Provided is a server that is capable of directly sending a notification of an error to a non-registered user who is not authenticated and permitted to use an image forming apparatus. An authenticating unit performs authentication permission according to authentication information of a user. A notification-event-setting unit sets to send a notification of a server error as a recognizable event to a non-registered user, who is not registered to perform authentication permission by the authenticating unit. An event-notifying unit notifies about the event set by the notification-event-setting unit when the error actually occurs.

Abstract: Provided is a pull printing system that is capable of improving security performance over that of a typical system. When authentication based on identification information and authentication information of a person providing a transmission instruction from a user terminal is successful, a pull printing server of the pull printing system correlates a printing job from the user terminal with identification information of a person providing an execution instruction from the user terminal, and spools the printing job. When authentication based on identification information and authentication information of a person providing the execution instruction from an MFP is successful, the pull printing server sets the printing job that is related with the identification information of the person providing the execution instruction as a target candidate of pull printing when spooling the printing job that is related with the identification information of the person providing the execution instruction.
