An image forming apparatus is an image forming apparatus including an operation unit that includes a touch panel. The image forming apparatus further includes a display control unit configured to cause the touch panel to display an image and a detection unit configured to detect a touch operation performed by a user on the touch panel. In response to the detection unit detecting the touch operation on the touch panel that is displaying an object on the image, the display control unit performs control to hide the object from display.

A computer system stores interpretation factor conversion information for managing an interpretation factor interpreting a basis of a prediction result for input data, the interpretation factor is determined by a value of each of a plurality of feature quantities contained in the input data including values of the plurality of feature quantities, and a first evaluation value of each of the plurality of feature quantities contained in the input data. When evaluation target data is input, the computer system calculates a prediction result, calculates a contribution value of each of the plurality feature quantities contained in the evaluation target data, specifies a corresponding interpretation factor, based on a value and a contribution value of each of the plurality of feature quantities contained in the evaluation target data, by referring to the interpretation factor conversion information, and generates and outputs display information for presenting the specified interpretation factor.

Examples described herein relate to a system consistent with the disclosure. For instance, the system may comprise a printing device including hardware to form markings on a print medium, a memory resource, and a controller to receive a print job to form the markings on the print medium, render a page description language of the print job to form the markings, determine an object type image of the print job, designate pixels of the determined object type image to form a covert dot pattern on the image, and adjust colors of the designated pixels to form the covert dot pattern on the markings.

An image forming apparatus includes an information obtaining unit that obtains storage destination information of print data managed by a mobile terminal device from the mobile terminal device, a data obtaining unit that obtains the print data from a storage destination of the print data by using the storage destination information, and a printing unit that prints the obtained print data.

A substrate insertion system is configured for insertion of a substrate under a product being carried on a conveyor. A pre-perforated substrate and a method of inserting the pre-perforated substrates under products carried on a conveyor are also provided. Furthermore, a method is described including the construction and operation of a substrate insertion system.

A communication apparatus performs communication processing in the first communication mode and the second communication mode to set a communication period of the first communication mode per unit time to be longer than that of the second communication mode in a case where both the first communication mode and the second communication mode are enabled, a communication partner apparatus in the first communication mode is determined, and a communication partner apparatus in the second communication mode is not determined.

An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit storing sheets each including a wireless tag, a printer, a communication device, and a controller for controlling the printer to convey a first sheet, acquiring first strengths of signals from a first tag on a first sheet during the conveyance of the first sheet and second strengths from tags not sheets being conveyed. Based on the acquired strengths, the controller determines a threshold value for distinguishing between sheets being conveyed and not being conveyed. The controller then controls the communication device to write information to a tag on a sheet being conveyed based on the threshold value.

An image forming system includes: a first storage that stores paper ejected after image formation processing; a second storage that stores the paper transferred from the first storage; a hardware processor that controls an operation of the image forming system; and a notifier that notifies of a state of the image forming system, wherein the hardware processor determines whether the paper remains in the first storage, and allows the notifier to notify that the paper is left untaken based on determination that the paper remains in the first storage.

The image formation control apparatus controls an image forming device to execute image forming on an image forming medium based on input image data by using a plurality of color materials including a plurality of chromatic color materials. An image formation control apparatus comprising: a table generating unit to generate a visibility improvement color table by performing color conversion into intermediate image data, performing histogram equalization processing on a brightness gradation value representing brightness of an image represented by the intermediate image data, and adjusting the brightness gradation value representing brightness of the intermediate image data; and an image formation control unit to generate an image forming job for performing the color conversion using the generated color table to form an image on an image forming medium.

To provide a print control device, print control method, and storage medium with which, in a form where information related to the size of a sheet which is set in a printing apparatus is obtained and the size corresponding to the obtained information is displayed, the size corresponding to the obtained information is displayed more appropriately, in a case where the size corresponding to the information obtained by an obtaining unit matches any of multiple custom sizes corresponding to information stored by a storage unit before the information is obtained by the obtaining unit, all of the multiple custom sizes corresponding to the information stored by the storage unit before the information is obtained by the obtaining unit are displayed.
