Included are: a platen on which documents to be read are placed; an image input unit configured to read in one or a plurality of documents placed on the platen at one time; a storage unit configured to store entire image data including individual images of the documents read in at one time; an outer frame region removing unit configured to remove, from the entire image data, image data of an outer frame region at a perimeter edge portion of the platen, having a predetermined width; and an individual image cropping unit configured to crop individual images of one or a plurality of documents, from the entire image data after the image data of the outer frame region has been removed.

An image processing system includes a reception unit that receives an image forming instruction from a user, a retaining unit that retains the image forming instruction in association with the user, an acceptance unit that accepts an execution instruction from the user; an authentication unit that performs authentication of the user, and an image forming unit that executes the image forming instruction retained by the retaining unit in association with the authenticated user. The image forming unit executes the image forming instruction without accepting the execution instruction by the acceptance unit in a case where the authentication unit completes the authentication and cancellation of execution by the user is not present within a holding time.

A color integration system for medical images includes: first and second profile setting sections configured to set first and second profiles, respectively, for color reproduction; a storage section configured to store a plurality of pieces of conversion information for converting the first profile to the second profile; and a control section, wherein if conversion information corresponding to an output environment for using a medical image for a second time is not stored, the control section acquires a profile for color reproduction in the output environment, generates the conversion information based on a profile in the storage section and one or more pieces among the plurality of pieces of conversion information stored in the storage section, and uses the generated conversion information to convert the first profile to the second profile.

An energy saving setting unit controls an image forming apparatus that makes a transition to a power saving state if a transition time passes without any prescribed operation in a normal state, and it includes: a unit for storing specific day information distinguishing a normal operation day and a specific day; an auto pattern updating unit determining the transition time in a normal operation day based on past operational status of the normal operation day of the image forming apparatus; a specific day pattern registering unit receiving and storing setting of the transition time of the specific day; and a switching unit, switching the state of conduction of the image forming apparatus using the transition time determined by the auto pattern updating unit and the stored transition time, on the normal operation day and on the specific day, respectively, based on the specific day information.

An image forming apparatus combines a plurality of sub-movies representing operation procedures to be performed to perform maintenance on the image forming apparatus and plays the combined sub-movies sequentially as one movie. In response to stopping the movie being played, the image forming apparatus displays a replay mark for use to issue a command to replay the movie from the beginning of a sub-movie corresponding to a position where the movie is stopped.

A job execution device, including: an operation panel; a communicator for communicating with another job execution device; and a hardware processor that: displays its own operation window and the operation window of the another job execution device on the operation panel; receives a setting of a distribution process for distributing a process for executing the job relating to a first function between the job execution device and the another job execution device by a predetermined operation, when a selection button of the first function exists in both of its own operation window and the operation window of the another job execution device; and instructs the job executor of the job execution device and the another job execution device to carry out the distribution process, when an entry of the job relating to the first function is received in a situation in which the distribution process is set.

An image processing system includes a reception unit that receives an image forming instruction from a user, a retaining unit that retains the image forming instruction in association with the user, an acceptance unit that accepts an execution instruction from the user, an authentication unit that performs authentication of the user, and an image forming unit that executes the image forming instruction retained by the retaining unit in association with the authenticated user without accepting the execution instruction by the acceptance unit in a case where the authentication unit completes the authentication.

In a mobile terminal, a plurality of operating buttons associated with functions performable by an electronic apparatus are provided on an operation screen. A storage section previously stores correspondence information related to the functions performable by the electronic apparatus and indicating correspondence between a relative location between the mobile terminal and the electronic apparatus and a set of functions available depending on the relative location. A first control section allows a display section to display a setting screen for accepting a change in the correspondence information. Based on an operation accepted by an acceptance section on the setting screen, a second control section changes the correspondence information and allows a storage section to store the changed correspondence information. The first control section changes contents of the plurality of operating buttons on the operation screen, using a location of the mobile terminal detected by a detecting section and the correspondence information.
