A processor automatically determines the machine/job state of a document processing apparatus. The job/status data is automatically displayed on a first display portion of a multi-part screen of the document processing apparatus. A graphic item that is indicative of the machine/job state is only displayed on a second display portion of the multi-part screen of the document processing apparatus. The graphic item indicates the machine/job state of the document processing apparatus using facial expressions, engineering and/or math icons, etc.

A Multifunctional Peripheral (MFP) includes a display unit that displays information and a printer that prints an image on a recording medium, and when data printable by the printer exists in a specific location, a preview combination home screen including a preview of an image based on the data is displayed on the display unit.

Provided is an image forming apparatus including a charge processing section and an operation section that are brought closer in height to each other, thus improving the operability of a user. The image forming apparatus (100) includes a coin insertion processing section (110), an operation panel (120) and an electrophotography printer (130). The coin insertion processing section (110) is configured to accept money and then execute charge processing so as to permit image formation by the image forming apparatus (100). The operation panel (120) is configured to, when the coin insertion processing section (110) executes the charge processing, accept setting of image formation by the image forming apparatus (100). The electrophotography printer (130) is configured to form an image of the read image data based on setting at the operation panel (120). The coin insertion processing section (110) is disposed at a height equal to a height of the operation panel (120).

An image processing device is provided with a user interface, a wireless communication interface and a controller. The controller is configured to transmit UI information via the wireless communication interface to a mobile device, the UI information being to cause the mobile device to assume a function of the user interface, and lock the user interface when the UI information has been transmitted to the mobile device.

An image forming apparatus includes a wireless communication board on which a communication circuit that wirelessly communicates image data with an external device is mounted, wherein the wireless communication board has a first surface to which a magnetic sheet including a magnetic layer containing metal powder is attached, includes an antenna provided on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the wireless communication board and used by the communication circuit to transmit and receive wireless radio waves, and a region of the magnetic sheet on the first surface and a region of the antenna on the second surface overlap with each other in a thickness direction of the wireless communication board.

An image forming device includes a light emission controller which controls emission of a plurality of types of light emission patterns by a plurality of light sources. The light emission controller emits each light emission pattern in response to a plurality of types of operations performed by an operator with respect to an operation portion. The light emission controller causes a light emission start timing of each of the plurality of types of light emission patterns to be different depending on the contents of the operations. The light emission controller emits first light emission patterns in response to operations performed by an operator with respect to the operation portion, emits second light emission patterns in response to a predetermined operation by the image forming device, and causes the first light emission patterns and the second light emission patterns to be different from each other in light emission end timing.

Information processing equipment includes: a main body housing unit; and a console panel provided at the main body housing unit, the console panel having a front surface which has a display unit visible on the main body housing unit and does not include at least a hard key for switching an operation mode to a maintenance mode, the hard key being provided on a surface other than the front surface of the console panel.

An image forming apparatus including: a wireless communication circuitry configured to make a wireless communication with a portable information processing device including a display unit; and a computer and a memory storing a program causing the computer to execute: a recognition step recognizing a portable information processing device that is within a communicable range through communication via the wireless communication circuitry; a job setting step receiving a job setting; and a job control step receiving a start instruction and executing a job in response to the start instruction, wherein the job setting step receives the job setting, which is made in the portable information processing device, via the wireless communication circuitry after the portable information processing device falls within the communicable range, and the job control step accepts reception from the portable information processing device of an instruction to rearrange the order of the execution of the job among jobs which await their starts.

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a communicator comprising communication circuitry, a camera, and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to: photograph a display device and a background area through the camera, set an area from among the background area excluding an area corresponding to the display device in the photographed image as a reference template, identify a plurality of areas from among the background area having a same pattern as a pattern included in the reference template and set at least one area, from among the plurality of areas, as a candidate template based on a color of the reference template, and obtain a pattern image on the background area based on an area set as the reference template and an area set as the candidate template, and control the display to output the background image generated based on the obtained pattern image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions, in response to being activated by an operating system, causing the portable terminal to perform: a first acceptance process of accepting an operation designating one of image forming devices communicable; a first storage process of causing the memory to store a first device ID, as a designated device ID; a second acceptance process of accepting an operation designating contents; and an operation instruction process of transmitting operation instruction information, and the computer-readable instructions, in response to being activated by another program, causing the portable terminal to perform: an acquisition process of acquiring, from the another program, a second device ID for identifying the image forming device; and a second storage process of causing the memory to store the second device ID, as the designated device ID.
