A motor control device includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit includes an issuing unit that issues a command that schedules a next operation of a motor according to an instruction from a controller. The second control unit includes a receiving unit that receives the command, a detecting unit that detects a state of the motor, a determining unit that makes a determination as to whether to drive the motor to perform the operation according to the state detected by the detecting unit, and an executing unit that drives the motor to perform the operation scheduled by the command as determined by the determination.

An image forming apparatus (1) includes a scanner unit (12U), a scanner housing (12), and a contactless card reader (42). The scanner unit (12U) optically reads an image of an original document to generate image data. The scanner housing (12) accommodates the scanner unit (12U). The card reader (42) has a flat information reading surface (421) and reads information recorded on an information card C. The scanner housing (12) has a confronting surface (12F) that a user confronts. The card reader (42) is mounted inside the scanner housing (12) such that the information reading surface (421) takes an upstanding posture, and is disposed behind the confronting surface (12F) of the scanner housing (12). The confronting surface (12F) of the scanner housing (12) includes a surface (41) that covers the information reading surface (421) and over which a card is held.

A processing apparatus includes: a processing unit that performs a process related to image data; a display unit that displays a process selection portion, with which the process performed by the processing unit is associated and which is selected to start the process by the processing unit; and a creation unit that, in a case of creating the process selection portion to be displayed in the display unit, creates the process selection portion while associating data with the process selection portion.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a stacking section provided on the downstream side of a collecting section in a transport direction outside an apparatus housing, an alignment section provided on the downstream side of the collecting section in the transport direction, above the stacking section, to be able to shift in a predetermined movable region so as to align a sheet width direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the sheet to be stacked on the stacking section, a shaft-direction drive mechanism for shifting the alignment section in the width direction orthogonal to the transport direction, an alignment plate rotation shaft member for axially supporting the alignment section rotatably, a shaft-direction drive source for operating the shaft-direction drive mechanism, and a neat housing for storing the shaft-direction drive mechanism and the alignment plate rotation shaft member inside the housing.

In order to be able to accept, on a preview display, operation to cope with various situations when using an image forming apparatus, an operating device comprises: a displaying unit configured to display a plurality of images within a preview display area; an accepting unit configured to accept a printing instruction for the image displayed by the displaying unit; and a display controlling unit configured to, in linkage with a printing performing state based on the printing instruction, display the images such that a partial image of the plurality of images is discharged from the preview display area and other image in the plurality of images is moved within the preview display area.

A first light guide guides first light in a first light guiding path. The first light is of light irradiated from the light source to a sheet. A first detection unit receives reflected light from the sheet and outputs an image signal indicating an image of a surface of the sheet. A second light guide guides second light in a second light guiding path different from the first light guiding path. The second light is of the light irradiated from the light source and is different from the first light. A second detection unit receives the second light and output a detection signal corresponding to a light amount of the second light. A control unit controls a light emission amount of the light source based on the detection signal.

Provided is an electronic apparatus that can prevent erroneous detection of a sensor output due to an AC line noise. A power supply circuit includes a noise filter, input rectifying smoothing circuit, converter circuit, and output smoothing circuit. The input rectifying smoothing circuit rectifies an input AC voltage passed through the noise filter to a pulsating flow and then smooth it. The converter circuit converts a DC voltage rectified and smoothed into a desired output voltage. The output smoothing circuit smoothes the convert output voltage to supply it to a control part. The noise determination part detects a noise that could not have been removed by the noise filter, as an AC line noise. The control part invalidates a detection signal outputted from the sensor for a previously set invalid period from the moment the AC line noise has been detected.

A sheet feeding device includes an upper sheet container, a lower sheet container, and a sheet detector. The lower sheet container disposed below the removable upper sheet container is configured to contain a sheet. The sheet detector is configured to detect the sheet in the lower sheet container and includes a sheet contact member disposed above the lower sheet container. The sheet contact member is contactable to the upper sheet container and the sheet in the lower sheet container. Either the upper sheet container or the sheet contact member has a sloped face inclined downward from downstream toward upstream in a container insertion direction, on at least one of a downstream side in the container insertion direction of a lower portion of the upper sheet container and an upstream side in the container insertion direction of an upper portion of the sheet contact member.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material; a fixing unit configured to heat the image in order to fix the image to the recording material; a control board; a support member, wherein the control board is attached to the support member; and a mounting portion, wherein the support member is attached to the mounting portion. The support member includes a side wall. A height of the side wall is smaller than twice a distance between the side wall and the connector on the control board under a state in which the control board is attached to the support member, and is larger than a height from a bottom surface of the support member to an upper surface of the control board.
