A document scanner includes a casing and a document cover disposed above the casing. The casing includes a document glass and houses an image scanner. The document cover has one end portion and the other end portion opposite to the first end portion in a first direction and is configured to pivotally move about the one end portion between a closed position in which the other end portion covers the document glass and an open position in which the other end portion uncovers the document glass. The other end portion has an end surface that intersects, when the document cover is at the closed position, with an upper surface of the document glass. The end surface has an indication indicating a location to which an external device is to be brought into proximity to establish short-range wireless communication between the document scanner and the external device.

An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a discharging tray provided at an upper surface of the housing and onto which a sheet is to be discharged, an operation panel provided to the housing outside the discharging tray in a width direction perpendicular to a discharging direction of the sheet, at least a portion of the operation panel protruding with respect to a side face of the housing in the width direction, and a USB port provided at the side face of the housing in the width direction the USB port being arranged at the side face of the housing where the operation panel protrudes, on a downstream side with respect to the operation panel in the discharging direction, at a position that is lower than an upper end of the operation panel and is higher than a lower end of the operation panel.

According to examples, a control panel assembly may include a base plate, a rib extending above the base plate, and a control panel support device to be positioned in sliding arrangement with the base plate. The control panel support device may include a groove having a first section and a second section, the first section having a first width and the second section having second width. The second width may be smaller than the first width. In addition, the rib may be inserted in the groove when the control panel support device is positioned in sliding arrangement with the base plate, in which the rib is to engage the second section of the groove when the control panel support device is extended away from the base plate, and in which the engagement between the rib and the second section of the groove is to reduce rotational movement between the control panel support device and the base plate.

A recording apparatus includes a recording section that records information on a medium; a main body provided with the recording section; and a tilt panel that allows a setting operation of the main body. The tilt panel is configured to pivot in a touch direction. The tilt panel includes: a touch panel disposed on a front surface of the tilt panel; and a power button disposed on a part of a periphery of the tilt panel, a press direction of the power button intersecting the touch direction of the touch panel.

An image forming apparatus reads a document mounted on a document positioning section by using an image reading section, and forms an image of the document on a sheet by using an image forming section. The sheet subjected to the image formation processing is mounted on a discharge tray via a discharge section. The image forming apparatus includes an operation unit that has a touch panel and that protrudes from a front portion of the image reading section, and a power button that is a hardware button provided on a back side of the operation unit and on a front portion of the image reading section

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main assembly including a panel surface 57 capable of inputting information by displaying a software numerical key portion 58 and a numerical key portion 206 comprised of a plurality of hardware keys, and is provided with a general-purpose numerical key unit 200 capable of inputting information to the apparatus main assembly. The panel surface 57 includes a plurality of software keys corresponding to the numerical key portion 206, and in a case that a “1” key 206a of the numerical key portion 206 is in an ON state, the ON state of the “1” key 206a is displayed by using a “1” key 58a corresponding to the “1” key 206a.

A framed collectible for displaying a continuously-looping playback of a digital video file is provided, wherein a display panel is controlled by a display controller to play at least one video file in a continuous loop on the display panel only while an output signal from a magnet sensor indicates no proximity to a magnet proximal to the back side of the display panel. The display controller has a printed circuit board that incorporates at least one processor and at least one memory that contains at least one video file. The memory, which in an embodiment can be flash memory, is factory programmed and therefore the memory content cannot be changed by an end user. Packaging for storage and shipping of the framed collectible is also provided, which incorporates a magnet that is sensed by the magnet sensor to keep continuously-looping video playback switched off while the device is stored.

A peripheral includes a body, an image processing device and a processor. The body includes a sub-housing and a second button. The sub-housing includes a control component. The control component includes a first button disposed on an upper surface of the sub-housing. The second button and the first button are disposed on different adjacent surfaces. The image processing device is disposed above or in the body. The image processing device is disposed above the body. The processor controls a first signal generated by the first button to be the same as a first signal generated by the second button. The sub-housing is disposed on an upper lateral side of the body.

Provided is a printing device that performs printing using a recording material, the printing device including: an capacitive touch panel; a home operation portion including a mechanical key for transitioning from a screen displayed on the capacitive touch panel to a basic screen including information on a remaining amount of the recording material; and a power supply operation portion including a mechanical key for shifting a power state of the printing device, in which a panel installation surface provided with the capacitive touch panel is a surface different from a power supply operation portion installation surface provided with the power supply operation portion.

According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a housing, a first sensor configured to detect a user in front of the housing, an illumination light configured to emit light in an illumination direction, and an opening and closing element configured to open and close a portion of the housing. A second sensor is configured to detect the opening and the closing of the opening and closing element. An adjuster is configured to change a detection distance of the first sensor and the illumination direction in conjunction with each other by physical movement. A controller is configured to turn on the illumination light when the opening and closing element is open, and turn off the illumination light when is closed.
