Abstract
An output system including at least one output apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and a network connecting the at least one output apparatus with the information processing apparatus includes a reading unit that reads identification information stored in a portable recording medium, and an output setup change unit that changes, when the portable recording medium is a portable recording medium for setup, an output setup of the output apparatus to another output setup associated with the identification information of the portable recording medium for setup.
Claims12
An output system including at least one output apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and a network connecting the at least one output apparatus with the information processing apparatus, the output system comprising:
- a reading unit that reads identification information stored in a portable recording medium;
- an output setup change unit that changes, when the portable recording medium is a portable recording medium for setup, an output setup of the output apparatus to another output setup associated with the identification information of the portable recording medium for setup;
- and
- a setup recovery unit that causes the output setup of the output apparatus changed by the output setup change unit to be returned to an initial setup.
An output method performed by an output system including at least one output apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and a network connecting the at least one output apparatus with the information processing apparatus, the output method comprising:
- reading identification information stored in a portable recording medium;
- changing, when the portable recording medium is a portable recording medium for setup, an output setup of the output apparatus to another output setup associated with the identification information of the portable recording medium for setup;
- and
- causing the output setup of the output apparatus changed by the changing to be returned to an initial setup.
An information processing apparatus connected to at least one output apparatus that is associated with a reading unit reading identification information stored in a portable recording medium through a network, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an output setup change unit that changes, when the portable recording medium is read by the reading unit, an output setup of the output apparatus to another output setup associated with the identification information of the portable recording medium for setup;
- and
- a setup recovery unit that causes the output setup of the output apparatus changed by the output setup change unit to be returned to an initial setup.
