A communication control device includes a communication unit, a reception unit, and a controller. The communication unit transfers first image data obtained from a first processing device to an external control device for each portion among portions that are predetermined transfer units, and transfers second image data transferred from the external control device to a second processing device, the communication control device and the external control device being included in a system and being connected to each other via a communication line for half-duplex communication. The reception unit receives a signal that is transmitted during an interval between the portions of the first image data. The controller performs control so as to start obtaining the second image data transferred from the external control device in a case where the signal is received by the reception unit.

Provided is a technique for eliminating or reducing the effect of a noise on a signal. An image reading apparatus includes: a conveyance unit configured to convey a document in a conveyance direction through a conveyance route; a first reading unit configured to read an image on the document conveyed by the conveyance unit; a cable routed on one side of the first reading unit and connected to the first reading unit; and a driving unit that is disposed on another side of the first reading unit and drives the conveyance unit.

An image forming apparatus temporarily stores, in an image memory, image data generated by a front surface reading unit and a back surface reading unit for reading images of a front surface and a back surface of an original respectively. A CPU of an image forming apparatus, at a time of starting a copy job, sets an output frequency of the image memory (transfer rate of image data) to a first frequency F1 that is lower than a second frequency F2. The CPU sets the output frequency of the image memory to the second frequency F2 when transfer of the image data of the first page which corresponds to the front surface of a first original completes.

A measuring apparatus includes a carriage on which an imaging control section that controls imaging of an object is mounted, a movement control section that moves the carriage relative to the object, an image processing section that acquires image information, a first signal line that connects the imaging control section and the movement control section to each other, and a second signal line that connects the imaging control section and the image processing section to each other. A control signal is transmitted over the first signal line, and a data signal is transmitted over the second signal line.

An image reading device includes an angle restriction part 212a that restricts an inclination angle with respect to a document table glass (203) when viewed from a sub-scanning direction of a flat cable (214) such that a contact portion is biased to one side of the flat cable (214) in a main scanning direction when an upper surface part of the flat cable (214) contacts with the document table glass (203) with movement of an image reading unit (210).

An electronic apparatus includes a plurality of processing devices, and a power controller. The power controller is configured to control power supply fed to each of the processing devices. Each of the processing devices includes a detector configured to detect occurrence of an anomaly and a notifier configured to send a notification of the occurrence of the anomaly. Upon receiving the notification from the notifier, the power controller restarts the electronic apparatus by turning off and thereafter turning on the power supply of the plurality of processing devices.

A holder holds a first magnetic member through which the first signal cable is passed and a second magnetic member through which the second signal cable is passed. The holder holds the first magnetic member with a first holding portion including an elastic engagement portion. The holder is also provided with a second holding portion to hold the second magnetic member at a position where the second magnetic member overlaps with the first magnetic member. A restrict portion is arranged on the elastic engagement portion and configured to restrict movement of the second magnetic member held by the second holding portion.

An image reading apparatus includes: an optical unit movably provided to a device main body; a flexible flat cable connected to the optical unit and to the device main body through a curved portion; a first friction surface on which the flexible flat cable abuts on an opposing surface of the device main body opposing the optical unit; and a second friction surface having a frictional force smaller than that of the first friction surface on which the flexible flat cable abuts on the opposing surface, wherein when the optical unit is positioned at an end portion on one side in a moving direction, the flexible flat cable abuts on the first friction surface, and the flexible flat cable further abuts on the second friction surface on a side where the curved portion is formed outside of the first friction surface in the moving direction of the optical unit.

An image forming apparatus includes an image memory, an image receiving unit, an image determination unit, an image search unit, an image forming unit, and an image converter. The image memory stores replacement image data. The image receiving unit receives image data from the outside. The image determination unit determines whether the received-image data includes to-be-replaced image data. The image search unit searches, in a case where it is determined that the received-image data includes the to-be-replaced image data, the image memory for replacement image data corresponding to the to-be-replaced image data. The image forming unit forms an image. The image converter converts, in a case where the corresponding replacement image data is detected, the received-image data into to-be-output image data in which the to-be-replaced image data is replaced with the corresponding replacement image data, and causes an image based on the to-be-output image data to be formed.

A reading device scans receipts, and transmits image data of the receipts to an analyzer. The analyzer receives the image data, extracts images of the receipts from the image data; counts a number of the images; executes a character recognition process to obtain text data; transmits, to the display device, a number of all of the images, and sequentially transmits, to the display device, the images for which the character recognition process has been completed, together with the text data. The display device sequentially displays each image, together with the text data; and upon detecting that the number of all of the images matches a number of the sequentially transmitted images, receives a command to report to the analyzer that the reception the images is completed.
