The flexible flat cable includes a plurality of conductive wires, an insulating covering member, and a reinforcing plate. The thin conductive wires are arranged in parallel with one another in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction thereof. The insulating covering member covers faces of the conductive wires, on at least one side of the conductive wires in the thickness direction. The reinforcing plate covers and reinforces the end parts of faces of the conductive wires in the thickness direction. The faces on the other side of the conductive wires in the thickness direction include exposed faces adjacent to the end parts. The exposed faces are not covered with the reinforcing plate and covering member.

An image forming apparatus, including: a circuit board on which an electronic part and a connector are mounted; a housing to which the circuit board is attached; a flexible flat cable, having a connecting portion connected to the connector, configured to electrically connect the circuit board and another circuit board different from the circuit board provided in the image forming apparatus; and a holding member holding the flexible flat cable and rotatable integrally with the flexible flat cable with respect to the housing, wherein the holding member is rotatable with respect to the housing between a first position in which the connecting portion is connected to the connector and a second position in which the connecting portion is retracted from a fitting position of the circuit board in the housing in a state in which the connecting portion is removed from the connector.

A monitoring device that acquires device information to be collected from a device includes an operation finish notification acquiring section that acquires an operation finish notification indicating that a predetermined operation performed by the device has been finished, and a device information acquiring section that acquires the device information from the device with a trigger of the acquisition of the operation finish notification. A monitoring method for acquiring device information to be collected from a device includes acquiring an operation finish notification indicating that a predetermined operation performed by the device has been finished, and acquiring the device information from the device with a trigger of the acquisition of the operation finish notification.

A printer control method enables even non-technical users to quickly and accurately set printer information in a printer. A control method of a printer having a first interface that connects through a first communication cable to a host computer, and a second interface that connects to nonvolatile memory storing printer information through a second communication cable, the nonvolatile memory being attached to the first communication cable, reads the printer information from the nonvolatile memory through the second communication cable and the second interface, and sets the read printer information in the printer, at a specific time.

A holder holds a first magnetic member through which a first signal cable is passed and a second magnetic member through which a 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.

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including: a reading unit; a print unit; a transmitting unit; an execution instruction receiving unit; and a control unit, wherein in case that before a predetermined time elapses since the execution instruction receiving unit receives a first execution instruction for executing a first job including reading of the original set to the reading unit, the execution instruction receiving unit receives a second execution instruction for executing a second job including the reading of the original, and in case that the first execution instruction and/or the second execution instruction is a remote instruction, the control unit controls the transmitting unit so as not to transmit the image of the original even though a transmitting instruction for transmitting the image of the original is included in the first execution instruction and/or the second execution instruction.

An image reading apparatus includes an image scanning unit that is provided with a holding portion holding a flexible flat cable. The holding portion is protruded toward an upstream side in a sub scanning direction, and provided with a second wall part. The flexible flat cable that is extended from a connector is brought into contact with the second wall part. As for the flexible flat cable, a downward movement is regulated by a lower holding portion and an upward movement is regulated by an upper holding portion. Accordingly, the flexible flat cable does not rise.

An image processing device configured to process image data obtained externally, the image processing device including a preprocessing circuit configured to carry out preprocessing during image processing; and a circuit configuration controller configured to carry out partial reconfiguration of the preprocessing circuit; the preprocessing circuit including: a plurality of arithmetic converter circuits configured to perform arithmetic computations on image data to convert the image data; and a timing control circuit provided between each one in the plurality of arithmetic converter circuits connected in order of processing, the timing control circuit configured to secure the reliable exchange of data; and the circuit configuration controller partially reconfiguring at least one arithmetic converter circuit in the plurality of arithmetic converter circuits while not partially reconfiguring the timing control circuit.

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.
