An information processing apparatus communicably connected to an image forming apparatus comprises an acquisition unit configured to acquire a consumption amount of a consumable in the image forming apparatus, an output unit configured to output a delivery request for a replacement consumable based on the consumption amount acquired by the acquisition unit, and a notification unit configured to notify information for prompting to stock a spare replacement consumable based on the consumption amount.

An image forming apparatus includes a developing device configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on an image bearing member; a rotatable developer accommodating container dismountably mounted in the image forming apparatus and configured to accommodate a developer; a mounting portion including a receiving portion for receiving the developer discharged from the container and configured to mount the container; a cover configured to open and close the mounting portion; a rotation detecting portion configured to detect rotation of the container mounted at the mounting portion; a display portion configured to display information; and a controller configured to control the display portion so that information on the rotation of the container is displayed at the display portion in a case that when the cover is open, the rotation detecting portion detects a predetermined amount of the rotation of the container.

An editing apparatus, including a display and a controller configured to: obtain a size of a printing medium; obtain a layout, with respect to the printing medium, of a print object to be printed on the printing medium; obtain a length of a circumference of an adherend to which the printing medium is to be stuck; and execute a display control process of displaying, on the display, the layout such that an overlap portion and a non-overlap portion of the printing medium are distinguishable, the overlap portion being a portion of the printing medium which is covered, when the printing medium is stuck along the circumference of the adherend in order from one end to the other end of the printing medium in its specific direction, by a portion of the printing medium including the other end, the non-overlap portion being a portion of the printing medium except the overlap portion.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device that forms an image on a recording material. The apparatus further includes an adjuster that sequentially executes adjustment operations corresponding to plural adjustment items which are selected in advance. The apparatus further includes a display that displays information indicating that a setting in which an adjustment result is to be reflected is newly generated when the setting is newly generated during execution of the adjustment operations.

An operation console used in relation to an apparatus as an object of control operated by a user operation includes: a display device having a display area for displaying information to the user; an input device for the user to input a request; and a display control device displaying, if a request for displaying specific information on said display device is input through the input device, the specific information on the display device. The input device includes a plurality of operation buttons for inputting a plurality of requests, corresponding to respective requests, arranged in the vicinity of the display area. Among the plurality of operation buttons, an operation button corresponding to the request for displaying the specific information is provided closest to the display device.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an execution unit that executes dew condensation elimination operation for eliminating dew condensation in the image forming unit, a setting unit that sets a dew condensation prevention mode for executing the dew condensation elimination operation to an enabled state, a display unit, and a control unit that causes the display unit to display a warning screen and selects a type of image forming job to be restricted during execution of the dew condensation elimination operation in a case where the dew condensation prevention mode is set to an enabled state, wherein, in a case where an image forming job is received during execution of the dew condensation elimination operation, the control unit determines whether the received image forming job is executable based on the type of job selected.

An image forming apparatus includes a restriction member that is rotatable between a first position, in which opening of a locking cover is restrictable in engagement with the locking cover, and a second position in which engagement with the locking cover is disengaged, a coil spring that urges the restriction member to the first position, a solenoid that is driven according to electric conduction to move the restriction member to the second position, a link member that transmits driving force generated in the solenoid to the restriction member, and a restraint part that restrains movement of the link member in a direction crossing a driving direction.

A printing apparatus capable of producing a product having the optimum image layout dependent on a discharge destination even when saddle-stitching is canceled due to input of image data for sheets in excess of a limit of a saddle-stitchable number of sheets. The number of output sheets per one copy is calculated based on image data. When the number of output sheets per one copy exceeds a saddle-stitchable number of sheets, it is selected whether to perform the center folding processing on the sheets on which images are printed without performing the saddle stitching processing thereon or to perform neither the saddle stitching processing nor the center folding processing on the sheets on which images are printed.

An operation console provided on an apparatus that operates in accordance with a user operation, including a surface including a first area and a second area. A display and a home key for requesting display of a home screen are provided in said first area. A plurality of operation keys other than said home key are provided in said second area.

A post-processing apparatus that performs, by one or more functional units which can be switched one another, predetermined post-processing corresponding to a function of the one or more functional units on a conveyed paper includes: a plurality of slots in which the one or more functional units can be loaded at respective loading positions along a conveyance path; a loading detector that detects that the one or more functional units are loaded in the slots; and a condition output part that outputs a condition that allows the post-processing depending on the loading positions of the slots in which the one or more functional units are loaded.
