An image forming apparatus includes a display panel, a sheet conveying passage, a reading unit, a light source, a chassis, and a controller. The reading unit includes a light transmitting plate and a conveying image sensor. The conveying image sensor reads a conveyed sheet, which is a sheet to print on. The chassis has a cleaning hole in which to insert a cleaning rod for rubbing the light-transmitting plate. In a maintenance mode, the controller turns on the light source, and makes the display panel display a graph showing the pixel values of the pixels included in conveyed-and-read image data acquired by reading with the conveying image sensor.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material, a controller configured to control the image forming unit, a sheet feeding tray configured to store a recording material to be supplied to the image forming unit, and a sheet feeding tray cover configured to cover an access point of the sheet feeding tray. The sheet feeding tray cover includes a user interface for inputting information into a controller unit or outputting information from the controller.

A pipe connection decision device includes a first material including a plurality of first pipes each having a connector receiver attached to one end, a second material including a plurality of second pipes each having a connector attached to one end, a plurality of light emitters respectively provided on the plurality of connector receivers, a plurality of light receivers respectively provided on the plurality of connectors, a storage device, a display device, and a control device. The control device causes the display device, upon deciding that the color of received light accords with an allocated color, with respect to all of the plurality of light receivers, to display a first message, and causes the display device, upon deciding that the color of received light discords with the allocated color, with respect to at least one of the plurality of light receivers, to display a second message.

An information processing apparatus instructs, if an audio input device such as a microphone is in use by the information processing apparatus, a printing apparatus to which a print job is transmitted to operate in a silent mode to reduce operation noise occurring in printing.

A display apparatus includes an acquisition section, a specification section, and a display controller. The acquisition section acquires page information indicative of a page of a reference destination of a book. The specification section specifies a location, which corresponds to the acquired page information, on a fore edge of the book. The display controller performs control such that an image indicative of the specified location on the fore edge is superimposedly displayed on the fore edge which is seen through a display provided in the display apparatus that is mounted on a user.

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a determination unit, a power mode setting unit, an input process unit, and a registration unit. The communication unit receives a communication packet. The determination unit determines whether the communication packet received by the communication unit in a second power mode of first and the second power modes meets at least one of a plurality of determination conditions included in determination condition information. The second power mode is lower in electric power consumption than the first power mode. The power mode setting unit switches a power mode from the second power mode to the first power mode on the basis of a result of determination performed by the determination unit. The input process unit receives user operation. The registration unit registers the determination conditions in the determination condition information on the basis of the user operation received by the input process unit.

An information processing system that acquires a first captured image; acquires a plurality of second images; and generates display data including the first captured image and at least a subset of the plurality of second images based on an evaluation parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of second images.

An image forming apparatus includes: a controller that controls the image forming apparatus; a memory that stores noise levels produced by a plurality of devices constituting the image forming apparatus during operation of the devices; and a microphone that accepts a speech instruction for the image forming apparatus. The controller accepts a job, detects a speech level from the speech accepted by the microphone, compares the detected speech level with a noise level that corresponds to the job to be executed in the image forming apparatus and that has been read from the memory, and controls, based on a result of the comparison, which one of a process of accepting the speech instruction and a process of executing the job in the image forming apparatus should be preferentially performed.

Examples disclosed herein relate to receiving a query via a chat interaction, translating the received query into one of a set of predefined commands according to a trained machine-learning model, and providing a result of the one of the set of predefined commands to the chat interaction.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that are executable by a computer in an information processing apparatus connected with a printer, is provided. The computer readable instructions cause the computer to obtain a type of an object contained in an image file, determine whether the obtained type of the object falls under a first type, and based on a determination that the obtained type of the object falls under the first type, determine a combination of applicable options for a print setting for the image file to be a first option group, and based on a determination that the obtained type of the object falls under a second type, determine a combination of applicable options for the print setting for the image file to be a second option group containing a smaller number of applicable options than the first option group.
