The invention provides an image-forming apparatus that includes a printer that performs printing, and a controller that determines, on a basis of settings related to a print job, whether to execute the print job as a print job related to test printing or execute the print job as a normal print job, and causes the printer to perform printing, in which the settings related to the print job include a plurality of items, and one or more combinations of a setting of another item with respect to a setting of one item are set as recommended settings, and, when the print job includes a setting of the another item other than the recommended settings with respect to the setting of the one item, the controller determines that the print job is a print job related to test printing.

An information processing apparatus divides a screen of a display unit into a first display area for displaying a list of application items for a user to select an executable application and a second display area for displaying information regarding a state of the screen or a state of the information processing apparatus, and decides a display position of the first display area when the occurrence of an anomaly is detected. The apparatus displays the list of application items in the decided first display area whose display position is decided, and displays information regarding the anomaly in the second display area. The decided display position of the first display area is a position in which the size of the first display area is smaller than in the case in which an anomaly is not detected.

An image processing apparatus includes at least one of an image forming device configured to form an image on a sheet or an image reader configured to read an image on the sheet, and a storage configured to store information. The apparatus also includes a display configured to display a screen, and a controller. The controller is configured to install an application program relating to the image forming device or the image reader, determine whether to display an execution instruction image for inputting an execution instruction of the installed application program on an individual home screen which is a home screen for individual use by each user, and display the individual home screen containing the execution instruction image determined to be displayed on the display.

An operation guide apparatus includes a display and a processor. The display displays, on a display screen, operation guide information for providing a guide on an operation for continuously using a device. The processor performs processing to enable an operator who is doing the operation with such a posture that the operator is unable to see the operation guide information displayed on the display screen to recognize the operation guide information.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of communicatively connecting to a suitable access point corresponding to a role of a wireless LAN. The image forming apparatus communicates by the wireless LAN through an access point. A role setting unit makes a user set a role of the wireless LAN in the image forming apparatus. A control unit controls a setting of the access point corresponding to the role of the wireless LAN. The control unit makes the user reset the access point in a case where the role of the wireless LAN has been changed. The role of the wireless LAN shows whether the wireless LAN is used as a main line or a subline.

An image forming apparatus for transmitting a changed portion of the data, among display content of its own display unit, to a computer while in a remote connection determines an interval for periodically switching the display content of the display unit, such that the interval while in a remote connection to a computer is longer than the interval while not in a remote connection.

An image forming apparatus including a feeder having a tray and configured to convey the sheet, a reader including a platen, an image forming unit configured to form a test pattern, and a controller. The controller adjust, based on a result of reading the sheet having the test pattern formed thereon, a quality of an image to be formed by the image forming unit. In a case where a sheet of a first type having the test pattern formed thereon is placed on the tray, the feeder conveys the sheet. In a case where a sheet of a second type having the test pattern formed thereon is placed on the tray, the controller is configured to display a notification representing that the sheet is not to be conveyed by the feeder.

A technique in the present disclosure makes it possible to accurately obtain a value selected by a user with respect to a selection-type item for which a legend is prepared in a situation where a value entered in a document is extracted from a scanned image of the document. An item name is extracted from a document image, input information input by a user is extracted from the document image, and a legend is extracted from the document image. Additionally, in a case where the input information is unsuitable as a value corresponding to the item name, the value corresponding to the item name is obtained based on the legend and the input information.

A control method for an information processing apparatus which comprises a memory that stores a graphical user interface (GUI) application capable of providing a GUI in a case where a driver that does not have a function of providing a GUI is selected, the control method includes causing the GUI application to acquire drawing data generated by a drawing application, acquiring, by the GUI application, at least either of data including information indicating a setting and data including information indicating a capability of the driver, and providing, the GUI application, a first display item.

A user interface is controlled to support a user using an image processing apparatus which can perform a task, for example, for storing image data obtained by a scanner in a memory or printing the image by a printer. In a display apparatus which can display a user interface including operation items, a user's intention is estimated, and an operation by the user for specifying a task is supported. For example, statuses of an image input unit and an image accept unit relating to execution of the task are monitored, and display forms of the operation items are varied in accordance with results of the monitoring.
