An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a pressure-bonding processing unit, a display portion, and a control unit capable of controlling the image forming unit by acquiring image data for forming a toner image on a recording medium in an operation in an image forming mode. The control portion controls the display portion to issue a warning in a case that the toner image to be formed on an inner surface of the recording medium to be folded protrudes outside a film region, the film region being a region of the inner surface to which a thermosensitive adhesive film is to be supplied.

An image forming apparatus includes: sheet feeding trays; an image forming part that includes a fixing part and forms an image on a sheet fed from each of the sheet feeding trays based on a print job; and an acquisition part that acquires information indicating “presence” or “absence” of a possible carrier having a possibility of virus infection in a region where an apparatus main body is installed; and a hardware processor that is able to select an operation mode of the print job from a normal mode and a virus removal mode, and sets an operation mode of the print job to the virus removal mode, wherein in the virus removal mode, a fixing temperature of the fixing part is set to a predetermined temperature, and a heating time for the sheet in the fixing part is made longer than a heating time in the normal mode.

Various embodiments disclose a method of detecting a media jam in a printer. The method includes causing a sensor unit of the printer to generate a sensor signal indicative of a reflectance characteristic associated with a surface of a roller of the printer. Further, the method includes receiving the sensor signal from the sensor unit of the printer and comparing the reflectance characteristic to a threshold reflectance characteristic associated with the roller. Furthermore, in response to the comparison, the method includes generating an output signal to indicate whether the media jam has occurred. For example, a first output signal indicates unsuccessful passage of a media along a media path of the printer, when the reflectance characteristic exceeds the threshold reflectance characteristic and a second output signal indicates successful passage of the media along the media path, when the reflectance characteristic is equal to or below the threshold reflectance characteristic.

An image forming apparatus includes a developing container, a detection portion detecting an amount of toner in the developing container, a display portion, and a control portion controlling the detection portion to execute a first detection and a second detection, wherein the display portion, in a case where the detection result of the first detection is greater than or equal to a first threshold, displays a first display and, in a case where the detection result is less than the first threshold, displays a second display different from the first display, and in a case where the detection result of the second detection is greater than or equal to a second threshold smaller than the first threshold, displays the first display and, in a case where the detection result is less than the second threshold, displays the second display.

An inspection apparatus includes at least one memory that stores instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions to perform determining, in a case where an image of an inspection area is a blank and collation inspection is to be performed on the image of the inspection, whether correct data in the collation inspection is a blank, outputting an inspection result for the inspection area as a success, in a case where it is determined that the correct data is a blank, and outputting an inspection result for the inspection area as a failure, in a case where it is determined that the correct data is not a blank.

An information processing apparatus includes: a setting unit configured to set one or more colorimetric regions in an image to be formed based on image data; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a print job to an image forming apparatus, the print job including the image data and colorimetric region information indicating the one or more colorimetric regions. The setting unit has a first mode under which the setting unit selects, based on a selection criterion, a colorimetric region in the image to be formed based on the image data, and a second mode under which a user designates the colorimetric region.

An image forming system includes: a sheet feeder; an image former that forms an image on a paper sheet; a conveyor that conveys a paper sheet to a sheet ejection destination; a switcher that switches sheet ejection destinations; a reader that optically reads a paper sheet, and outputs a read image; an abnormal sheet detector that detects an abnormal paper sheet by analyzing the read image; a storage; a display; and a hardware processor that performs: ejection destination switch control to control the switcher to eject an abnormal paper sheet and a succeeding paper sheet to a second ejection destination different from a regular ejection destination; storage control, for each of the abnormal paper sheet and the succeeding paper sheet, to associate sheet information, the read image, and a stacking order with one another, and store them into the storage; and display control to cause the display to display them.

An apparatus includes an image bearing member, a developer container having a replenishment port, a developer bearing member, a detection portion configured to output remainder amount information corresponding to the amount of developer accommodated in the developer container, a notification portion capable of notifying a first state, and a second state, and a control portion. The maximum amount of the developer that the developer container is capable of accommodating is larger than a value obtained by adding the amount of the developer accommodated in a replenishment container containing the developer for replenishment to the first amount, and wherein notification of the second state corresponds to notification of a case where the amount of the developer remaining in the developer container is larger than a case where the amount of the developer remaining in the developer container is the smallest.

A system displays a plurality of display objects respectively corresponding to a plurality of symptoms of an image forming apparatus, receives a selection of one display object from among the plurality of display objects, and displays a screen for receiving, from a user, a value related to a predetermined item to be adjusted to improve a symptom corresponding to the selected display object.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing, a sheet discharge unit, a sheet supporting portion, an operation unit, a supporting unit, and a regulating portion. The supporting unit supports the operation unit such that, when the display surface is tilted with respect to a horizontal direction, an end on a lower side of the operation unit is positioned below a second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is disposed between the operation unit and the sheet supporting portion in the vertical direction. The regulating portion is disposed such that at least a part of the regulating portion overlaps the operation unit and the supporting surface in a width direction. The regulating portion is disposed to intersect with the second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is configured to regulate an obliquely upward movement of a recording material discharged by the sheet discharge unit.
