Problems solved by technology

[0004] Conventionally, in image forming apparatuses such as digital multifunction peripherals, it was difficult for each user to set the processing while considering the consumption cost of the processing to be executed.
In addition, when requesting printing from the user terminal to the image forming apparatus, it is not easy for the user to perform appropriate printing settings while suppressing the cost in the image forming apparatus.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a printing instructing device, an image forming apparatus, and a printing instructing method. This print instruction device includes an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, a display unit, and a transmission unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire recommended settings corresponding to the user information from the image forming apparatus. The calculation unit calculates a consumption amount of a rated value of the printing process of the recommended settings acquired from the image forming apparatus by the acquisition unit. The display unit is used to display the recommended settings acquired by the acquisition unit and the consumption of the rated value of the printing process of the recommended settings calculated by the calculation unit. The transmitting unit is configured to transmit the print data including the print setting contents instructed by the user to the image forming apparatus after the recommended settings are displayed on the display unit.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 350635, filed June 2, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a print instruction device, an image forming apparatus, and a print instruction method. Background technique [0004] Conventionally, in an image forming apparatus such as a digital multi-function peripheral, it has been difficult for each user to set the processing while considering the consumption cost of the processing to be executed. Also, when a user terminal requests printing from the image forming apparatus, it is not easy for the user to perform appropriate printing settings while suppressing costs in the image forming apparatus.
