INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND MULTIFUNCTION PERIPHERAL
An information processing apparatus includes: a first unit as a main body of the information processing apparatus; a second unit openable and closable relative to the first unit; a third unit openable and closable relative to the second unit; and a controller programmed to control operations of the first unit. The second unit includes a first detector configured to detect whether the third unit is opened or closed relative to the second unit. When the second unit is in an opened position relative to the first unit, the first detector detects that the third unit is opened. The controller controls at least one of the first unit, the second unit, and the third unit based on a result of the detection by the first detector.
Image reading device for reading image of document, image forming apparatus, and image reading method
A document feed portion of an image reading device is capable of feeding a document placed on a first document placement portion, to a predetermined reading position. A size detection portion detects a size of the document placed on the first document placement portion. A storage processing portion stores size information indicating the size of the document detected by the size detection portion, into a predetermined storage medium. An image reading portion performs a reading process of scanning a read surface of the document placed on a second document placement portion, to read an image. A setting portion sets the size information stored into the storage medium by the storage processing portion, as size information to be used for the reading process by the image reading portion.
Coordination of capture and movement of media
A described example system may include a connection engine, a capture engine, and a command engine. In that example, the connection engine wirelessly connects to an imaging device having a media location for placing media; the capture engine captures an image of media at the media location; and the command engine coordinates movement of the media in response to a capture operation or in preparation to perform the capture operation. In another example, an imaging device includes a media tray, a pick, a processor resource, and a memory resource having executable instructions that cause coordination of the pick to, in response to an indication that a sheet of media is captured from a capture device, generate movement of the sheet of media away from the media tray or movement the sheet of media on to the media tray.
Systems and methods for surface covering preparation
A surface covering layout system includes a processing circuit configured to receive image data regarding one or more images associated with a surface to be covered with a surface covering, and generate a surface covering layout based on the image data, the surface covering layout providing an indication of a pattern of a plurality of covering members included in the surface covering.
Image processing apparatus, information processing apparatus, and control method
An image processing apparatus performs a binding process for binding a plurality of sheets. When a binding unit configured to bind sheets without using a staple performs the binding process, the image processing apparatus adds a mark for identifying a position where the binding process is performed.
SHEET CONVEYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS
A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a casing provided with a first conveying path and a second conveying path; a first feeding tray provided in the casing and having a first supporting surface that supports a sheet; a supporting member that supports the first feeding tray from below in the casing; a first feeding section provided above the first supporting surface; a first guide member having a first guide surface to guide the sheet fed from the first feeding tray; a second feeding tray provided below the supporting member in the casing and having a second supporting surface that supports a different sheet; a second feeding section provided above the second supporting surface; a second guide member having a second guide surface to guide the different sheet fed from the second feeding tray; and a frame made of metal and being installed on a lower surface of the supporting member.
MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE READING APPARATUS
A medium feeding device includes a housing, a medium feeding portion that is provided in an inner portion of the housing and delivers sheets of paper, a medium mounting member on which a medium is mounted, and a wireless communication portion that performs wireless communication with another communication terminal, in which the wireless communication portion is provided in the medium mounting member.
Image forming apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing test print page insertion program
An image forming apparatus is provided which can insert a test-printed sheet on an arbitrary page into an intended page. The image forming apparatus includes a test print selection portion, an original document reading portion, a test print page specification portion, a test print portion, a sheet set member, a print instruction portion and a print portion, where from image data on the read original document, overall page information, information specifying the page on which the test print is performed and detection information indicating that the test print page is set in the sheet set member, based on the instruction from the print instruction portion, the print portion performs the print while inserting the test print page into the intended page.
Automatic document feeding device and image forming apparatus incorporating same
An automatic document feeding device includes a conveyance unit, an image reading unit, a color reference member, a moving assembly, and a drive source. The drive source includes a rotation output shaft to drive the conveyance unit and the moving assembly. The drive source changes the rotation output shaft from a forward rotation direction to a reverse rotation direction to reversely rotate the rotation output shaft to a set reverse rotation angle set in advance, according to a condition of conveyance of the document. In a rotation transmission route from the rotation output shaft to the moving assembly, the movement regulator is disposed in a first reverse rotation drive region from when a rotation direction of the rotation output shaft is changed to the reverse rotation direction to when a rotation angle of the rotation output shaft after the change in the reverse rotation direction reaches the set reverse rotation angle.
REMOVABLE DUPLEXER TRAY MODULE FOR AN IMAGING APPARATUS
A removable media handling module includes a body that is horizontally slidable into and removable from an imaging apparatus. The media handling module includes a lower media guide extending between a front and a rear of the body in a direction of insertion of the body into the imaging apparatus. With the media handling module inserted into the imaging apparatus, the lower media guide is positioned parallel to and spaced from a corresponding upper media guide mounted in the imaging apparatus to form at least a portion of a duplex media path therebetween. The media handling module includes a media feed through channel extending from a bottom of the body to an entrance of a simplex media path to allow media to be fed from a media tray below the media handling module and into the simplex media path when the media handling module is installed in the imaging apparatus.
