11006012 · 2021-05-11 · ·

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives printing data and a switching unit that performs switching between a second rotation mode and a first rotation mode. The first rotation mode is a mode in which an orientation in the printing data undergoes rotation through an angle decided in accordance with an analysis of content of the printing data. The second rotation mode is a mode in which if an angle for an output size in the printing data is stored in a memory, the angle is read out from the memory, and the orientation in the printing data undergoes the rotation.

IMAGE INSPECTION APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE INSPECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
20210067649 · 2021-03-04 ·

An image inspection apparatus includes: an image reader that performs processing of reading conveyed paper as an image for a correct answer image and an image to be inspected; an information acquirer that acquires setting information at a time of forming an image of paper conveyed to the image reader; a storage that saves, as a correct answer image, an image read by the image reader as an image for a correct answer image, and saves the setting information; and a hardware processor that performs inspection by comparing an image to be inspected read by the image reader to a correct answer image stored in the storage.

Media processing apparatus in recording system including separate units with non-overlapping processing portions

A media processing apparatus includes a first unit including a first receiving portion that receives media, a first processing portion that performs first processing on the media received from the first receiving portion, and a sending portion that sends out media received from the first receiving portion without passing through the first processing portion; and a first tray that is provided outside the first unit and that receives media discharged from the first unit after the first processing has been performed thereon, in which the first unit is configured such that the second unit is detachably attached below the first tray, the second unit including a second receiving portion configured to receive the media sent from the sending portion and a second processing portion that performs second processing on the media received from the second receiving portion.

IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

An image forming apparatus includes: a reception part that receives specification of a print mode and specification of a sheet type to be used for printing; a sheet supply part that sends a sheet to a sheet conveyance path; a detection part that detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path; and a hardware processor that controls a printing operation, wherein when a sheet type received by the reception part is a type for which printing in the print mode received by the reception part is allowed, the sheet supply part sends a sheet to the sheet conveyance path, the hardware processor determines whether or not the print mode received by the reception part is a prohibition mode, when it is determined that the print mode is the prohibition mode, the detection part detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path.
