A sheet transportation device includes a first transport roller that transports a sheet member toward a first direction, a second transport roller that is arranged on a downstream side of the first transport roller in a transport direction of the sheet member and transports the sheet member in a second direction different from the first direction, and a guide portion that guides the sheet member by coming into contact with a leading end of the sheet member in a region on a second transport roller side with respect to a first line extending from a part of the first transport roller, in which the sheet member is pinched, in the first direction and on an opposite side to a first transport roller side with respect to a second line extending from a part of the second transport roller, in which the sheet member is pinched, in the second direction.

An image forming apparatus comprises an accommodating unit that accommodates recording materials and has a regulating plate that regulates a trailing edge of the recording material in a feeding direction, detects a recording material fed from the accommodating unit, and measures time from a predetermined timing until a recording material is detected. An information processing apparatus receives time data obtained by a measuring unit from the image forming apparatus, classifies a plurality of time data received from a reception unit into a first group and a second group in accordance with a length of time, and determines using time data included in the first group and the time data included in the second group whether a position of the regulating plate is misaligned in relation to a reference position that corresponds to a size of the recording material accommodated on the accommodating unit.

A flexible touch panel including a flexible substrate bent in a first direction, and a touch sensor unit disposed on the flexible substrate, the touch sensor unit including a bridge extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

An image forming apparatus includes an upper ejection roller and a lower ejection roller that are disposed vertically side by side in an apparatus body and transport a recording material, a relay section that is disposed at an upper part of the apparatus body and further transports the recording material transported from the lower ejection roller and that places the recording material transported from the upper ejection roller on an upper surface of the relay section, a post-processing section that is disposed on a side surface of the apparatus body, receives the recording material via the relay section, and performs post-processing, and a controller that performs a control such that the recording material is transported from the upper ejection roller to the upper surface of the relay section in a case where the recording material is a long sheet.

A flexible touch panel including a flexible substrate bent in a first direction, and a touch sensor unit disposed on the flexible substrate, the touch sensor unit including a bridge extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member; an exposure portion configured to expose the photosensitive member to light depending on image information to form a latent image on the photosensitive member; a developing portion configured to develop the latent image into a toner image with toner; and a transfer portion configured to transfer the toner image from the photosensitive member onto a recording material. The image forming apparatus changes a surface movement speed of the photosensitive member at timing prior to predetermined timing, when a moving speed of a recording material at the transfer portion changes, by a predetermined time.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a detector and a holding body. The image forming device is configured to perform an image formation to a sheet. The detector is configured to detect a position of a first image formed on a first surface of the sheet through the image formation of the image forming device. The holding body is configured to move while holding the sheet, by performing one of a rotation in a radial direction about a support shaft attached thereto in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction thereof and a lateral shift in a width direction of the sheet, operable to correct the position of the sheet based on a detection result obtained by the detector.

An image forming apparatus includes an upper transport part and a lower transport part that are disposed vertically side by side in an apparatus body and transport a recording material, a relay section that is disposed at an upper part of the apparatus body and further transports the recording material transported from the lower transport part and that places the recording material transported from the upper transport part on an upper surface of the relay section, a post-processing section that is disposed on a side surface of the apparatus body, receives the recording material via the relay section, and performs post-processing, and a control unit that performs a control such that the recording material is transported from the upper transport part to the upper surface of the relay section in a case where the recording material is a long sheet.

An image forming apparatus includes an enquirer that temporarily suspends production of a printed material, after at least one set of the printed materials has been produced, upon deciding that a print request has been sent from a predetermined remote location distant from an installation site of the image forming apparatus, and enquires whether the production of the printed material may be resumed, to a user through a network I/F, a response receiver that receives a response from the user, to the enquiry made by the enquirer, and a controller that resumes the production of the printed material, upon deciding that the response receiver has received a permission to resume the production of the printed material, from the user.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit that includes a first drum supporting a recording medium and a first rotating body disposed at an axial end of the first drum, and that is configured to form an image on the recording medium; a fixing unit that includes a second drum supporting the recording medium and a second rotating body disposed at an axial end of the second drum, and that is configured to fix the image to the recording medium by heating or drying the recording medium; and a transport unit that includes a rotating member stretched between the first rotating body and the second rotating body and rotating with rotation of the first rotating body and the second rotating body and a holding unit attached to the rotating member and holding the recording medium, and that is configured to transport the recording medium from the image forming unit to the fixing unit by the rotation of the rotating member.
