[0053] [1.3 Processing Flow]

[0054] The processing of the information processing device 200 will be described.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a conceptual diagram for explaining the processing of the information processing device 200, and each step 100 to 100 is abbreviated as S100 to 100.

[0056] In addition, Figure 3 to Figure 8 In the figure, the editable tag is displayed as “Favorite Tag”, the image forming device 10 is displayed as “MFP”, and the information processing device is displayed as “PC”.

[0057] In the first embodiment, the information of the editable label of the printer driver is registered in the image forming device 10 by the administrator (step 100). When a request to obtain the editable label is issued from the printer driver (steps 110, 120), the control unit 240 sends the information of the editable label registered in the image forming device 10 to the information processing device 200, and reflects the sent information in the editable label of the printer driver (S130).

[0058] [1.4 Action Example]

[0059] Figure 4 The figure shows a screen for setting editable labels in the image forming apparatus by the administrator. Figure 5 A screen showing a printer driver of the information processing apparatus 200 is shown. Figure 6 The following are examples of screens in which information of editable tags (favorite tags) obtained from an image forming apparatus is reflected in editable tags of a printer driver.

[0060] The administrator 260 sets the option items of the editable label ( S100 ). At this time, the administrator logs in with an administrator account (administrator ID and password) and opens the web page (composed of an embedded system) of the image forming apparatus 10 from a web browser to perform the setting.

[0061] Registration of information on editable labels of the image forming apparatus 10 can be performed only on items configured based on options that can be used in the image forming apparatus 10 .

[0062] Furthermore, regarding registration of information on editable tags for the image forming apparatus 10 , the administrator can set items that are restricted from being used by the user or items that are recommended for use.

[0063] In the web page screen, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to set the optional functions of the image forming apparatus 10, the system page 300 is opened by pressing the system setting tab 300a, and "Driver Favorite Tab Setting" is selected. In the system page 300, items 310 of functions corresponding to the optional functions are arranged together with a plurality of quadrilateral-shaped [check boxes] 310a to 310g. In this case, the selectable items 310 include the number of copies 310a, double-sided printing 310b, pagination 310c, document filing 310d, color mode 310e, staple 310f, and binding 310g.

[0064] The administrator 260 can select a desired function item by checking the [checkboxes] 310a to 310g of the items 310 displayed on the screen of the system page 300. After selecting the item, the administrator presses the [Register] button 320 to register the selected item in the image forming apparatus 10 as information of an editable tag (favorite tag).

[0065] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, when the user uses the printer driver 270, the user opens the print setting screen 330 of the printer driver on the display unit 230 of the information processing device 200, and presses the [Favorite] button 330a, so that the initial setting screen 340 of the editable label (Favorite label) is displayed on the print setting screen 330 (S110). Figure 5 As shown, in the displayed initial setting screen, since the status of the item with editable labels is not set, no function setting items are displayed. The text of [Favorites] 340a is displayed, the text of [Initial Settings] in the drop-down menu 340b is displayed, and at the same time, the [Get Favorites] button 340c is displayed.

[0066] Next, when the user presses the [Get Favorites] button 340 c of the initial setting screen 340 , the printer driver 270 requests the image forming apparatus 10 to obtain information on the editable tag (favorites tag) ( S120 ).

[0067] Next, the requested image forming apparatus 10 transmits the setting information of the registered editable tag (favorite tag) to the printer driver 270 ( S130 ).

[0068] The printer driver 270 obtains the setting information of the editable label, such as Figure 6 As shown, a screen is displayed reflecting the information of the editable label obtained in the print setting screen 330. In the screen 350 reflecting this information, the text display of [Favorites] is changed in the pull-down menu 340b.

[0069] In addition, as items of editable labels (collection labels), [Number of copies] drop-down menu 350a, [Double-sided printing] drop-down menu 350b, [Pagination] drop-down menu 350c, [File filing] drop-down menu 350d, [Color mode] drop-down menu 350e, [Stapling] drop-down menu 350f, and [Binding] drop-down menu 350g are displayed. When changing the menu of each item, after selecting the drop-down menu, press the [Set] button 340d to set, and press the [OK] button 340e to register.

[0070] After that, the image forming device 10 can be made to execute printing according to the registered content from the printer driver 270. In addition, in this case, since the image forming device 10 is equipped with a terminal as an optional function, an illustration of the image forming device 10 equipped with a terminal 340f1 is displayed in the function display area 340f. In addition, a [Stapling] pull-down menu 350f of a staple function item is also displayed. With such a display, the user can easily recognize the current state of the image forming device equipped with the terminal function.

[0071] [1.5 Effect]

[0072] By obtaining information of editable tags (favorite tags) registered in the image forming apparatus 10 by the administrator from the image forming apparatus 10 , it is possible to set editable tags (favorite tags) having functions suitable for the image forming apparatus 10 in the printer driver.

[0073] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, when registering the favorites tag information of the printer driver in the image forming apparatus 10 , the administrator may adopt a method of limiting the items that the user does not want to use in the editable tags or setting the items that the user wants to use.

[0074] In this way, when registering the favorites tag information of the printer driver in the image forming apparatus during setting, the administrator can restrict the items that the user does not want to use in the editable tags, or set the items that the user wants to use.

[0075] [2. Second Embodiment]

[0076] Next, a second embodiment will be described.

[0077] Figure 7 This is the control sequence diagram when the administrator changes the composition of the editable tag. Figure 8 Indicated in Figure 7 In the case of , the screen of the editable label of the printer driver is reflected. The same reference numerals are used for the same parts as those in the first embodiment.

[0078] The second embodiment is an embodiment in which, when registering information of an editable tag of a printer driver in the image forming apparatus 10 , only settings based on option configurations that can be used in the image forming apparatus 10 can be registered.

[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, the manager 260 passes Figure 4 The setting screen (system page 300) shown sets the item 310 of the option function as an editable tag (favorite tag) (S200).

[0080] In the initial setting screen 340 of the printer driver 270 (see Figure 5 ), the user (User) presses the [Get Favorites] button 340c (S210), so that the printer driver 270 requests the image forming device 10 side for the editable tag (favorites tag) and option information (S220).

[0081] The image forming apparatus 10 sends information about the editable label (favorite label) set by the administrator and the optional function that the image forming apparatus can execute to the printer driver 270 (S230). After the administrator 260 sets, if the optional function of the image forming apparatus is changed or fundamentally different from the setting item, the editable label set by the administrator and the optional function that the image forming apparatus can execute are different.

[0082] The printer driver 270 compares the acquired information of the editable tag (favorite tag) with the information of the optional function, and displays the editable tag executable by the image forming apparatus on the screen ( S240 ).

[0083] For example, in response to a request for a favorites tab and option information registered by an administrator, when the administrator sets the staple function as the favorites tab, the situation becomes as follows.

[0084] When the [Get Collection] button 340c is pressed, if there is no terminal on the image forming device, after the tag information is collected, option information is also sent from the image forming device 10. If it is determined that there is no terminal in the processing within the printer driver, Figure 8 As shown, a screen is formed in which staples are not displayed in the item of [Favorites Tab]. In addition, in this case, since the image forming device 10 is not equipped with a terminal as an optional function, an illustration of the image forming device 10 without a terminal is displayed in the function display area 340f. In addition, as a stapler function item, the [Staples] drop-down menu is not displayed. With such a display method, the user can easily recognize that the current image forming device is not equipped with a terminal function.

[0085] According to the second embodiment, the registration of the information of the editable label of the image forming device can only be based on the items composed of options that can be used by the image forming device. Therefore, based on the option composition of the image forming device, the editable label can be reflected on the printer driver, and the printing settings corresponding to the image forming device 10 to be used can be performed.

[0086] [3. Third embodiment]

[0087] The third embodiment is an embodiment in which the control unit 240 sets restrictions on editable tags reflecting information transmitted from the image forming apparatus 10 according to the authority of the user.

[0088] In the settings of the printer driver, conditions are added in advance to limit the display items of the editable labels. As conditions, it is preferable to set restrictions on the functions that can be printed according to the user's authority. User A can shrink pages or have no staples, while user B can shrink pages or have no staples.

[0089] When the work contents of the users are different, it is possible to execute the jobs limited according to the work contents, and to perform printing corresponding to the work contents without waste.

[0090] [4. Fourth embodiment]

[0091] In a fourth embodiment, preferably, the control unit 240 sets a standard structure on the editable label of the printer driver, and uses the editable label of the printer driver as the standard structure before issuing a request to obtain the editable label from the printer driver. When the request to obtain the editable label is issued from the printer driver, the structure of the editable label sent from the image forming device replaces the standard structure and is reflected in the editable label of the printer driver.

[0092] In the first embodiment, until there is a request to obtain an editable label from the printer driver, such as Figure 5 As shown, in the state where nothing is displayed in the editable label, each function item of the editable label appears after a request for obtaining is made. In contrast, in the fourth embodiment, when the printer driver displays the editable label, the editable label can be set by default without pressing the [Get Collection] button 340c, and when a request for obtaining is made, the display mode of various function changes set in the image forming device becomes. In the case where there is a part in the default screen where the function cannot be executed, the function cannot be executed even if printing is started, so at this time, the [Get Collection] button 340c is pressed again to obtain the editable label.

[0093] If the function can be executed on the default screen, the function can be executed without taking time to issue an acquisition request, which can speed up the process.

[0094] [5. Modifications]

[0095] In addition, as a variation of the first to third embodiments, the acquisition of the editable label may also request to open the printer driver at the same time. In this way, the editable label can be obtained while the printer driver screen is opened, and the editable label can be obtained without pressing the [Get Collection] button 340c again, which can shorten the operation time.

[0096] The image forming apparatus according to the above embodiment can be applied to various image forming apparatuses such as a printer and a facsimile machine that can be controlled by a printer driver, in addition to a multifunction peripheral.
