Information processing apparatus, system

A system in which a first information processing apparatus, a second information processing apparatus, and a printing device are connected via a network, the system comprising:

• an operation receiving unit configured to receive an operation;
• a setting receiving unit configured to display a setting condition for printing or transmission and to receive a change to the setting condition, after the operation receiving unit receives an instruction to start printing or to start transmission;
• an image processing unit configured to acquire, from a document data providing unit, document data that is a printing target or a transmission target, and convert the document data into print data of the printing device based on the setting condition;
• a setting condition storage unit provided in the second information processing apparatus, in which the setting condition is stored by the setting receiving unit via an operating system of the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus by using, as a key, identification information acquired by the setting receiving unit, the identification information identifying a printing process or a transmission process and being generated by the operating system of the second information processing apparatus according to the instruction to start printing or to start transmission, wherein
• the image processing unit acquires the identification information from the operating system of the second information processing apparatus, and reads, from the setting condition storage unit, the setting condition via the operating system of at least the second information processing apparatus by using the identification information as a key, and converts the document data into the print data of the printing device based on the setting condition.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus, including an operation receiving unit for receiving an operation, to execute a method comprising:

• displaying a setting condition for printing or transmission and receiving a change to the setting condition, after the operation receiving unit receives an instruction to start printing or to start transmission;
• acquiring, by a setting module, identification information identifying a printing process or a transmission process and being generated by an operating system according to the instruction to start printing or to start transmission;
• storing the setting condition in a setting condition storage unit via the operating system by using the identification information as a key;
• acquiring, by an image processing module, the identification information from the operating system;
• reading, by the image processing module, the setting condition from the setting condition storage unit via the operating system using the identification information as a key;
• and
• converting, by the image processing module, document data that is a printing target or a transmission target provided by a document data providing unit into print data of a printing device based on the setting condition read from the setting condition storage unit.
