A casing is constituted by four constituent surfaces. When a page-turner is to be accommodated, a holding table for holding a book in an opened state and a page-turning main body section which turns pages of the book are accommodated in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped area formed by the four constituent surfaces. Here, in consideration of workability at the time of use, the page turner is accommodated such that the page-turning main body section is positioned on the upper side and two holding plates constituting the holding table are positioned on the lower side with the casing standing upright. The page-turning main body section is supported from below by one holding plate and the other holding plate positioned diagonally to the page-turning main body section without a special supporting means being provided.

A printer including a transport path; a transport mechanism that is disposed in the transport path and transports the medium in a transporting direction caused when printing is executed by a recording section; a discharge-side transport path that forms a part of a downstream side in the transporting direction from the recording section in the transport path and is movable to a position close to the transport mechanism and a position separated from the transport mechanism; and a control section that controls the recording section and the transport mechanism. In a state where a transport failure of the medium occurs in the transport path, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control section executes an additional transport process of discharging the medium to the discharge-side transport path by transporting the medium in the transporting direction by a predetermined amount by the transport mechanism.

A job includes pages that have multiple items positioned according to coordinates. A sheet coordinate location identifier for each of the items (that corresponds to the coordinates for the items) is added to the job. The job is printed to produce printed sheets of items (printed items) printed according to the coordinates. A cutting device cuts the printed sheets, according to the coordinates, into individually cut items. Each of the cut items includes the sheet coordinate location identifier printed thereon, and this identifies the pre-cutting locations of the cut items within the uncut sheets of print media. The cut items are inspected for cutting defects to identify defective items. Pre-cutting locations of the defective items are identified using only the sheet coordinate location identifier printed on the defective items. A repair recommendation for the cutting device is based on the most common pre-cutting location of the defective items.

An image reading device includes a magnetizer that magnetizes a metal object attached to a document, a magnetism detector that is disposed on the downstream side of the magnetizer in a document transport direction from a document stacking table toward the document transport path and detects residual magnetism of the metal object, and a metal object accompaniment determination unit that determines whether or not the metal object is attached to the document based on a detection result by the magnetism detector.

A sheet processing device that measures a property of media sheets to be processed in the device, controls a processing operation of the device on the basis of the measured property and transmits the measured property to another sheet processing device.

An image forming apparatus includes an image data generator, a conveyor conveying a print medium, a determiner, a print medium cutter, a printing section, and a printing controller. The image data generator performs, sequentially on a page basis, conversion of print data corresponding to pages included in a print job into image data. The determiner determines a specified number of pages. The print medium cutter cuts the print medium into media for each of the specified number of pages. The printing section performs, on the print medium, printing of an image-data-based image. The printing controller causes the printing section to start the printing of the image corresponding at least to the specified number of pages, after the conversion of the print data into the image data corresponding at least to the specified number of pages and before that into the image data corresponding to all of pages.

Provided is a sheet conveying apparatus that includes a conveying unit capable of changing its posture through rotation, and forms a sheet conveyance path capable of conveying a sheet without fail regardless of which posture the conveying unit is in. A first conveying unit is capable of being in a first posture and in a second posture by rotating from the first posture. In a case where the first conveying unit is in the first posture, a sheet conveyance path is formed in which the first conveyance path, the second conveyance path, and the third conveyance path are connected in this order. In a case where the first conveying unit is in the second posture, a sheet conveyance path is formed in which the first conveyance path and the third conveyance path are connected in this order.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium according to image data, and an adjusting unit that adjusts the image around a cut when the recording medium has the cut.

The image reading apparatus includes a reading unit, a cover portion which is openable and closable and in which a first surface forms an upper surface of the apparatus in a closed state and a second surface on an opposite side to the first surface supports a document in an opened state, and a document support tray which is displaceable between a storage position where the document support tray is stored in a state along the second surface in a state where the cover portion is closed and a withdrawn position where the document support tray is withdrawn from the storage position to the upstream side in the feeding direction of the document in a state where the cover portion is opened, and which supports at least a portion of a document supported by the cover portion in a state where the cover portion is opened.

A sheet transport apparatus is equipped with a sheet transport guide section for guiding a sheet to be transported. The sheet transport guide section includes a first transport guide member swingable about a first axis, and a second transport guide member swingable about a second axis, the second transport guide member forming a sheet transport path between the second transport guide member and the first transport guide member. The second transport guide member is arranged at a first position when the first transport guide member is closed, at a second position where the second transport guide member is opened from the first position when the first transport guide member is opened, or at a third position where the second transport guide member is opened from the second position.
