A printer that prints each printing medium having an RFID, the printer including: a radio wave strength acquisition unit that acquires radio wave strength from the RFID; and a determine unit that determines whether the RFID is normal or not on the basis of a radio wave strength obtained by the radio wave strength acquisition unit and a threshold.

An object of the present disclosure is to perform printing such that partition work of an operator is reduced. One embodiment of the present embodiment provides a printing apparatus that prints images on a roll paper based on one or a plurality of jobs, the printing apparatus including: an image forming unit that forms one or a plurality of image sets, each formed of a partition page image and a content image, on the roll paper based on a job in which partition information for inserting a partition page is set; and a control unit that controls image formation by the image forming unit, in which the control unit controls the image formation by the image forming unit based on a remaining amount of the roll paper such that there is no interruption in the middle of the image set.

A product sales data processing system includes: a sensor attached to a bulk food container of a product; and a weighing apparatus. The sensor includes: a sensor module that detects displacement of the sensor; a memory that stores a sensor ID that identifies the sensor; and a transmitter that transmits the sensor ID stored in the memory when the sensor module detects a predetermined displacement value. The weighing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the sensor ID transmitted from the sensor; and a display that displays product information associated with the sensor ID.

Various embodiments disclose a method for operating a printer apparatus that includes a print head. The method includes causing a media hub to retract a media in a retract direction along a media path. Further, the method includes causing a first media sensor to generate a first signal during retraction of the media. Furthermore, the method includes monitoring the first signal to detect at least one of a leading edge or a trailing edge of a label of the plurality of labels. Upon detecting the at least one of the leading edge or the trailing edge of the label, causing the media hub to retract the media by at least a predetermined distance, wherein the predetermined distance is a distance between the print head and the first media sensor.

A controller of an editing device executes displaying, on a display unit, an input area image corresponding to an input area in which the characters are arranged by overlapping the input area image on a medium image showing the printing medium, changing a size of the input area image displayed in the displaying, using first method or second method, according to a first instruction for changing the size of the input area, the first method being changing the size of the input area by setting a portion of the medium image corresponding to the non-light-transmitting area as a maximum range, the second method being changing the size of the input area by setting the entire medium image as a maximum range, and switching between the first method and the second method as a first switching.

A processing job generation apparatus includes a decision unit that decides whether or not a sheet processing apparatus can execute a processing of a sheet based on a layout data.

Embodiments of a system and method for automating shipping for a physical object can include an object dimensions measurer (ODM) operable to collect and wirelessly transmit a dimensions dataset for the physical object, an object weight measurer (OWM) operable to collect and wirelessly transmit a weight dataset for the physical object, and a shipping automation system operable to receive datasets from the ODM and the OWM, implement a compatibility rule facilitating standardization of requirements for service levels provided by shipping carriers, determine object characteristics for the physical object, determine object characteristic specifications required by the service levels, and determine a service level for the physical object based on the object characteristics and the object characteristic specifications.

A media processing apparatus includes a medium drive, a label printer, and a medium-processing-apparatus control section. When the medium-processing-apparatus control section receives a first photographic data file, the medium-processing-apparatus control section causes the medium drive to write the first photographic data file to a medium. After the medium-processing-apparatus control section has received the first photographic data file, the medium-processing-apparatus control section receives a second photographic data file and causes the medium drive to write the second photographic data file to the medium. When the medium-processing-apparatus control section receives a medium close command from a control apparatus, the medium-processing-apparatus control section terminates write processing by the medium drive in response to the received medium close command, and causes the label printer to perform printing.

An image forming apparatus comprises: a setting unit configured to set a partition region for dividing a rolled print medium into a plurality of rolls, the partition region being set within a group of images that are sequentially printed accompanying feeding from a feeding apparatus in which a rolled print medium is set; and a printing unit configured to print, on the print medium fed from the feeding apparatus, the group of images reflecting the partition region set by the setting unit. The printing unit prints, on the partition region, an identification image indicating a cutting position for dividing into the plurality of rolls, and the setting unit sets a position at which the identification image is printed, based on information of the group of images.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet of perforated paper which has been perforated; an input unit configured to receive first information and second information; and a processor configured to display an alarm display without performing sheet-passing of the sheet of perforated paper. The first information is information concerning the sheet of perforated paper on which an image is to be formed by the image forming unit and wherein the second information is information concerning whether to perform automatic double-sided printing on the sheet of perforated paper or not. The processor is configured to display the alarm display in a case where the automatic double-sided printing is instructed and it is determined that the sheet of perforated paper has a cut-off portion.
