The image forming apparatus may include a processor to execute instructions stored in a memory to display applications running on different UI platforms supported by different operating systems, together on a home screen based on a main UI platform selected among the different UI platforms, on a UI device.

A printing apparatus includes a controller that determines that the button is operated according to the second operation in which the operation tool leaves the button following the first operation in which the operation tool moves to the button being operated, and determines that the button is not operated according to the third operation in which the operation tool leaves the button following the first operation being operated. The controller makes a determination of the second operation and the third operation according to the operation description before the first operation.

An example device capable of predicting print substance end-of-life (EOL) comprises a container to hold a print substance, the container comprising a refill port through which print substance is to be introduced into the container. The example device also comprises a processor to receive signals indicative of an amount of print substance introduced via the refill port. The processor is also to predict a print substance end-of-life (EOL) based on the amount of print substance introduced.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program which are capable of improving convenience. The information processing device includes a control unit that selects a target position, at which an operation of setting related to a menu item is performed, in one or a plurality of menu pages in which the menu item is displayed, and performs setting processing corresponding to determination of the selection in a case where an instruction for the determination of the selection is given. The present technology is applicable to an imaging device.

An image forming apparatus includes a reception unit that receives an instruction to place and print an image in an area of a specific shape having an aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of a recording sheet; a print control unit performs control such that a support image is on the recording sheet, the support image supporting specification of a cut position to cut out the area of the specific shape, in which the image of which printing instruction is received by the reception unit is printed, from the recording sheet; and an output unit outputs an explanatory image that explains the cut position with respect to the support image, in a case where the reception unit receives the printing instruction.

Provided is a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process including receiving an addition instruction operation to instruct addition of a new display element to a screen in which plural display elements are arranged, and displaying, when the addition instruction operation is received, the screen in which the new display element is added in a position adjacent to a predetermined side of a reference display element, the reference display element being a display element which is a reference among the plural display elements.

Scanner, in particular a back-of-hand scanner, with a holder, which essentially consists of a two-part housing with an integrated scanner and further assemblies for data transmission, with at least two commercially available, two-part or four-part push buttons being arranged on the housing of the scanner, which consist of a lower part and an upper part, which can be brought into operative engagement, the upper part of the respective push button on the underside of the housing of the scanner and the lower part of the respective push button are provided on a holder/fastening option for the scanner, characterized in that the push buttons (6) are made electrically conductive material and are designed as electrical interface contacts, on the one hand the upper parts (6) of the push buttons (6) of the scanner (1) have electrical connecting elements that connect to the additional electrical/electronic assemblies in the housing (2) of the scanner (1), while on the other hand lower parts (6) of the push buttons 6 of the holder (7) are equipped with electrical connecting elements (9) which lead to the additional electrical/electronic assemblies in or on the holder (7).

An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to store plural screens satisfying a predetermined condition among screens used for setting a device accompanying a series of screen transitions, in association with one icon; and display the plural screens associated with the icon in order and receive the setting of the device from each screen of the plural screens in a case where a user selects the icon.

An image forming apparatus and method for providing a user interface (UI) screen are provided. The image forming apparatus may include a processor to execute instructions stored in a memory to display applications miming on different UI platforms supported by different operating systems, together on a home screen based on a main UI platform selected among the different UI platforms, on a UI device.

An image processing apparatus which is capable of preventing the ease of operation for a user relating to history buttons from being decreased. In response to execution of a function selected by the user, a history button for calling job setting information used by the function is displayed on a display unit. Information related to the job setting information is displayed in a display area constituting the history button. A display size of the display unit is obtained, and the amount of information to be displayed in the display area constituting the history button is controlled based on the obtained display size of the display unit.
