Abstract: A printing system includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses capable of mutually communicating with a portable terminal device and a client terminal device. The client terminal device generates a print job that includes print data and job information. The portable terminal device stores job information transmitted from the client terminal device. The image forming apparatus acquires the job information from the portable terminal device, acquires the print data corresponding to the job information from the client terminal device, and execute image output the print data.

Abstract: A printing control system includes: parent units and child units connected together through a network, the parent units including a first memory, and the child units including: a second memory; a job list request provider that transmits a job list request to connectable parent units and a job list response obtainer that obtains a job list response sent back. If a first child unit detects a parent unit not sending back the job list response within a predetermined time period, the first child unit stores, in a non-response parent unit information item, the parent unit not sending back the job list response, and when the first child unit transmits the job list request at a next time, the first child unit transmits the job list request to a parent unit other than the parent unit stored in the non-response parent unit information item.

Abstract: An MFP system includes a master device and a slave device. The slave device includes an operation acceptor, and an image reader, and is capable of communicating among a plurality of MFPs. The slave device includes an other-MFP transmission requester that makes a request to another MFP such that image data is transmitted by FAX transmission to a transmission destination. The master device includes an associator that, when an other-MFP transmission request is accepted from the slave device, associates and stores transmission destination information and the slave device, and when image data is received from the outside, the master device determines whether or not information of a transmission destination to which the image data was transmitted is stored in the associator, and if the information of the transmission destination is stored in the associator, transmits the image data received from the outside to the associated slave device.

Abstract: An output system includes a terminal device, an image-forming apparatus, and a server device. The terminal device includes an acquirer that acquires content from the server device, a generator that generates job data including a setting for outputting the content based on the acquired content, a transmitter that transmits the job data to the image-forming apparatus, and a reception slip outputter that outputs a reception slip including a reception number corresponding to the generated job data. The image-forming apparatus includes a receiver that receives the job data from the terminal device, and an outputter that outputs the content after executing a job based on the job data corresponding to the reception number when the reception number is input.

Abstract: A printing control system comprising: a plurality of image forming apparatuses set as parent units; and a plurality of image forming apparatuses set as child units, all of which are connected together through a network, wherein a child of the child units unit obtains a job list response from any one of the parent units either storing a print data item to be identified with a job name of a print data item included in a job list information item requested by a job list request, or not storing the print data item.
