A printing system comprising a print unit which executes printing for a print job according to a print instruction received from a user, comprises: a determination unit that determines whether or not selecting a printing speed from among a plurality of candidates of printing speeds for the print job is permitted, a display unit that displays, based on the determination, the plurality of candidates for the print job so as to be selectable by the user, and a control unit controls the print unit to execute, based on the selection by the user, the printing for the print job at a printing speed selected from the displayed plurality of printing speed candidates.

An image forming apparatus includes a gradation correcting portion, an image forming device, a toner image fixing device, a fixing device mounting portion, a detector, and an executing portion configured to execute a calibration process for generating a gradation correction condition on the basis of a result of detection of a predetermined toner image by the detector. The predetermined toner image is a toner image which is formed, on the basis of predetermined data, on the recording material by the image forming device and which is fixed by the fixing device mounted in the mounting portion, and the predetermined toner image forms a plurality of image regions different in density. The executing portion permits execution of the calibration process when the fixing device is the first fixing device, and prohibits the execution of the calibration process when the fixing device is the second fixing device.

The password entry device includes a first display control unit, a tap determination unit, a second display control unit, and a password-entry acceptance unit. The tap determination unit determines which of the characters displayed in the first style by the first display control unit have been tapped. The second display control unit performs control operations to display the characters, which are determined by the tap determination unit that they were tapped, in a second area, which differs from the first area of the touch panel, in a second style, which differs from the first style. The password-entry acceptance unit accepts the entry of the characters that make up the password with the characters displayed in the second style by the second display control unit.

In a display input apparatus, a display control section allows a display to display a setting item list of setting items lined up in a first direction and a first setting candidate list of setting candidates lined up in a second direction for one of the setting items, one list across the other, and provide, when a gesture receiving section receives a scroll gesture in the first direction via a touch panel, a scrolling display of the setting item list and a display of the first setting candidate list for the setting item presented in an intersecting region thereof with the setting item list, and provide, when the gesture receiving section receives a scroll gesture in the second direction via the touch panel, a scrolling display of the first setting candidate list. A setting receiving section receives as a changed setting the setting candidate presented in the intersecting region.

There is provided a recording medium having a printer driver embodied therein, the printer driver causing, when executed by a processor, the processor to implement a method. The method includes: receiving, with the processor, an input of information that includes an instruction on setting a first region; and generating, with the processor, frame data that includes a first frame and an instruction marker. The first region is included in a medium region that corresponds to a print medium. The first frame surrounds the first region. The instruction marker is adapted to give an instruction on setting a position of the first frame in the medium region.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image formation part that forms an image on a paper sheet; a conveyor that includes a plurality of conveying members and conveys the paper sheet; a hardware processor that acquires information on a smudge on a paper sheet on which an image has been formed by the image formation part, and identifies, from the plurality of conveying members, one or more dirty conveying member(s) that may have caused the smudge based on at least one of the information on the smudge, information on the conveying members, and information on a job for image formation executed by the image formation part.

An image forming apparatus that facilitates user's determination of necessity of setting an inspection resuming page and is improved in jam processing efficiency. A sheet having an image formed thereon by an image forming unit is conveyed along a sheet conveying path. A sheet inspection device inspects the image on a sheet being conveyed through sheet conveying path. When a jam occurs in the conveying path, image formation by the image forming unit is interrupted. When jammed sheets are removed, formation of images including those formed on the jammed sheets is resumed. When a leading one of the jammed sheets is on a downstream side of the sheet inspection device, the image formation is resumed from an image formed on the leading jammed sheet, based on a user instruction.

When performing a specific process accompanied with reading or writing a storage unit in a sleep mode, the power supply control unit control a control unit and the storage unit to temporarily return. When detecting movement in a period from start to end of the temporary return, the power supply control unit restarts power supply to a display panel. The control unit controls to display warning informing that the storage unit is working and urging to be careful so that the power is not disconnected.

An image forming device having a paper profile function of managing characteristics of paper to be used, thereby enabling to set image quality/portability that are dependent on the paper, includes: a display that displays a paper-profile call screen; and a hardware processor that causes the display to differently display items of the paper-profile call screen between at the time of job setting in which a kind of paper is set and at the time of tray setting in which a tray is set.

When trial printing is executed in a repeat printing mode, trial printing is performed in size of an image of one piece in a layout in which a plurality of images are supposed to be printed in the repeat printing mode normally. A user who has checked a finished state of the trial printing sets, when the finished state is in a desired state, the recording paper on which the trial printing is performed to the paper feed portion again and executes the repeat printing. Thereby, in a blank space excluding a print image which is printed with a first time trial printing, a scheduled quantity of a plurality of images are repeatedly printed.
