An image reading apparatus includes a medium mounting portion configured to mount a medium; a feeding means configured to feed a medium from the medium mounting portion; at least one edge guide each configured to regulate a corresponding one of at least one medium width direction edge of the medium having been mounted on the medium mounting portion; a reading means configured to read the medium and disposed on a further downstream side than the at least one edge guide in the medium feeding direction; and at least one medium detection means configured to detect the medium and disposed on a further downstream side than the at least one edge guide in the medium feeding direction and further outside in the medium width direction than at least one edge regulation position for the edge regulation by the at least one edge guide.

An image forming apparatus includes an exit tray, a displacing mechanism, and a controller. A sheet is ejected on the exit tray. The displacing mechanism displaces a position of the sheet on the exit tray. The controller controls the displacing mechanism. The controller determines whether the sheet is a valid sheet that meets a predetermined condition or an invalid sheet that does not meet the predetermined condition. The controller controls the displacing mechanism so that a position of the valid sheet differs from a position of the invalid sheet on the exit tray.

A medium conveying apparatus includes a conveyance roller to convey a medium, an imaging sensor, a backing member including an opposing surface, a motor to switch the backing member between an opposing position in which the opposing surface faces the imaging sensor and a non-opposing position in which the opposing surface is deviated from the opposing position, a medium sensor located on an upstream side of the imaging sensor in a medium conveying direction, and a processor to acquire a first image captured by locating the opposing surface in the opposing position and a second image captured by locating the opposing surface in the non-opposing position after a front end of the medium conveyed by the conveyance roller passes through a position of the medium sensor, and determine whether a conveyance abnormality of the medium has occurred based on the first image and the second image.

Provided is a printing device that can accurately perform printing on a recording medium. The printing device includes: a frame member disposed to surround a nail tip; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the nail tip surrounded by the frame member; a communication part configured to acquire print information which is generated based on an image obtained by capturing the frame member and the nail tip and indicates a layout of printing to be applied to the nail tip in a printable region defined by the frame member; and a print control part configured to control the printing unit based on the acquired print information.

An image forming apparatus includes a document reader that scans a document and outputs an image of the document, a process selector that selects a process to be executed on the image depending on a document scanning region scanned in the document reader, and a controller that performs control to execute the process selected by the process selector on the image.

An information control apparatus controls a printer apparatus. The printer apparatus includes a loader which stacks and loads sheets fed from a sheet feeder and then printed. The information control apparatus includes a controller. In a case in which printing performed by the printer apparatus is stopped and is then restarted, the controller performs control so that a sheet which will protrude from other sheets when being loaded in the loader will be fed from the sheet feeder and be loaded in the loader as a sheet to be inserted to indicate a restart position.

An image forming apparatus to form images on a series of sheets includes: an image forming processor to form an image on each sheet; a reader to read each sheet and to output read data; an inspector to determine a quality of each sheet using the read data; and a controller to discharge each sheet determined as not satisfying a predetermined quality criteria into a second tray other than a first tray specified in a print job. When copies specified in the print job are each constituted by one of the series of sheets and at least one sheet of the series of sheets is on a transport path as at least one remaining sheet, the controller processes each of the at least one remaining sheet in such a way that if the remaining sheet satisfies the predetermined quality criteria, the controller discharges the remaining sheet into the first tray.

An image processing apparatus includes: an automatic document feeder; a document placement table; a document detector provided on at least one of the automatic document feeder and the document placement table, the document detector being configured to detect a document; and circuitry to cause a display to display one of a first screen that receives an input for selecting an orientation of a document placed on the automatic document feeder and a second screen that receives an input for selecting the orientation of the document placed on the document placement table, based on a detection result of the document detector.
