An image forming device includes a CPU. The CPU causes an image reader to collectively read a plurality of documents placed in each divided area of a document placement table and acquire individual images according to a user operation. Furthermore, the CPU generates, for each divided area, an image file that includes the image. In addition, if document reading is executed in a state where a document is placed in an inappropriate position, a notification screen for notifying the user that the document is not appropriately placed is displayed on a display before the image file data is generated.

A printing apparatus includes a feeding units, a detecting unit, a designating unit, and a control unit. The detecting unit detects a respective operation on each of the feeding units. The designating unit designates, in response to a user operation via a display, which of the feeding units is to be used for printing. The control unit executes, in response to a command to execute predetermined printing, a process based on a first feeding unit on which an operation has been last detected by the detecting unit and a second feeding unit designated by the designating unit. Based on that the first and second feeding units are different, the control unit displays, as the process, a predetermined screen on the display. Based on that the first and second feeding units are the same, the control unit executes, as the process, the predetermined printing on a second feeding unit fed sheet.

Provided is a printing apparatus including a cassette configured to be capable of managing a stored paper-sheet by using paper-sheet size information and paper-sheet attribute data, in which an adjustment value of a print position is registered to copied paper-sheet attribute data if an event in which the adjustment value is registered to paper-sheet attribute data in which the paper-sheet size information is not set occurs.

DISPLAY DEVICE
20210026403 · 2021-01-28 ·

The present application discloses a display device. The display device comprises: a displaying component, an imaging component, and a placement region indicating component, wherein, the imaging component establishes a communication connection with the displaying component, the placement region indicating component is configured to indicate a placement region of an object to be imaged, an imaging region of the imaging component being the placement region as indicated by the placement region indicating component, the imaging component is configured to image the object to be imaged which is located within the placement region, and the displaying component is configured to display an image generated by the imaging component.

Multi-region detection for images

An image captured by a camera can be processed by a scanning application to identify one or more regions within the image that are suitable for scanning. One or more of these regions can be selected for scanning automatically based on user-input such as a fingertip touch to a particular portion of the display screen. Users may also select multiple regions and submit multiple quadrangular regions for scanning to PDF from a single image.

Image reading apparatus and image forming apparatus for detecting whether sheet is protruding from readable range
10887473 · 2021-01-05 · ·

An image reading apparatus comprises a platen, a support, a reader, an open/close unit, a first obtainer, a mark, a positioning member, and a determiner. A position of the mark on a pressing surface of the cover, is provided at a position at which, in a case where a sheet of a maximum size among standard sizes that can entirely fit in a readable range of the reader is positioned with respect to the positioning member, at least a portion of the mark is not hidden by the sheet as viewed from the reader.

20200398555 · 2020-12-24 · ·

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeder, a sheet conveyor, a line head, an image sensor, a moving mechanism, and a controller. The image sensor has a reading width in the main scanning direction smaller than main scanning direction widths of a largest printable size paper sheet. In setting for using a large width sheet, a controller controls a moving mechanism to move the image sensor toward one side so that a one side edge of the large width sheet can be read. Based on read image data obtained by reading, the controller recognizes a deviation direction and a deviation amount of a position of the conveyed large width sheet in the main scanning direction.
