An image forming apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain information related to a resolution of an image to be formed, an image processing unit configured to execute image processing corresponding to the information on image data, an image forming unit configured to form an image based on the image data on which the image processing is executed by the image processing unit, an intermediate transfer member to which a measuring image formed by the image forming unit is transferred, a measurement unit configured to measure the measuring image transferred to the intermediate transfer member, a storage unit configured to store measuring image data, and a controller configured to control the image processing unit to execute first image processing on the measuring image data, control the image forming unit to form the measuring image, control the measurement unit to measure the measuring image, and control an image forming condition.

A program causes, when executed, a terminal apparatus to perform operations including: receiving a target signal from a target scanner, the target signal being sequentially transmitted from the target scanner after a placement operation of placing an original document of a scan target is performed at the target scanner, the target signal being not transmitted from the target scanner before the placement operation is performed at the target scanner; in response to receiving the target signal from the target scanner, acquiring target communication information for performing wireless communication between the terminal apparatus and the target scanner through a target network; in response to acquiring the target communication information, transmitting a scan request to the target scanner through the target network by using the target communication information; and in response to transmitting the scan request to the target scanner, receiving scan data from the target scanner through the target network.

An image forming system which suppresses the decline in printing speed without user intervention when the speed of data transmission to a storage does not meet an allowable speed, and a control method for the system. A first acquisition part acquires the speed of data transmission to the storage of each of plural image forming apparatuses and a second acquisition part acquires the data transmission speed between image forming apparatuses. When the speed of data transmission to a given image forming apparatus among the apparatuses is lower than a specified value, if the speed of data transmission to the storage of another image forming apparatus and the data transmission speed between image forming apparatuses are both higher than a given value, a striping part performs striping to distribute and store data into the storage of the given image forming apparatus and the storage of the other image forming apparatus.

An operation terminal connected to an information storage apparatus and an output apparatus, comprising a processor that obtains a file from the information storage apparatus; displays, on a monitor, an image of the obtained file and a button for selecting an output device for outputting the file; displays, after the button has been pushed, a two-dimensional code photographing screen; the two-dimensional code photographing screen for photographing a two-dimensional code by a camera; obtains, after the two-dimensional code is photographed by the camera while the two-dimensional code photographing screen is displayed, information that specifies the output device; wherein the information that specifies the output device is obtained from the photographed two-dimensional code; and sends, to the output device through a network, an output request for outputting the file of the image displayed on the monitor, based on the obtained information that specifies the output device.

An MFP receives destination information indicating a folder in a file server from a user and can register the destination information in an address book, and the MFP determines whether a connection with a file server using the destination information can be established after destination information is received but before the destination information is registered in the address book, and notifies a user of a determination result.

An image forming apparatus may have the followings. A switching transformer has a first coil, a second coil, and a first core. The switching transformer generates a secondary side current in the second coil by a magnetic flux generated in the first core by a current that flows in the first coil. A common mode choke coil has a third coil, a fourth coil, and a second core. The common mode choke coil reduces a common mode noise. The switching transformer and the common mode choke coil are mounted on a substrate so that a direction of the magnetic flux generated in the first core and a direction of a magnetic flux generated in the second core are perpendicular.

A MFP including a wireless network interface can set whether wireless communication based on Wi-Fi Direct? or wireless communication not based on Wi-Fi Direct? is used as direct wireless communication via the wireless network interface. The MFP provides, in a method different from the wireless communication using the wireless interface, an external device with connection information for establishing network communication between the external device and the MFP. The MFP provides different types of connection information between the case of using wireless communication based on Wi-Fi Direct? and the case of not using such wireless communication as direct wireless communication.

A simulation device includes a hardware processer that simulates an apparatus. When an state of the apparatus does not satisfy a allowable condition, the hardware processor determines a group of the plurality of jobs being executed as an error group, and allows a virtual device to carry out a plurality of jobs that are generated when a parameter defined by at least one of the plurality of jobs included in the error group is changed. When a state of the virtual device satisfies the allowable condition, the hardware processor determines a group of the plurality of jobs executed as a change job group. When the apparatus carries out a plurality of new jobs, the hardware processor allows the apparatus to change each of parameters of the plurality of new jobs to a parameter defined by a change job included in the change job group.

An information processing system to convert a first document file, including main data and setting information for processing the main data, processable by a first information processing apparatus to a second document file, including main data and setting information for processing the main data, processable by a second information processing apparatus, includes circuitry configured to determine whether a first data structure of the setting information proces sable by the first information processing apparatus and a second data structure of the setting information proces sable by the second information processing apparatus are different, and convert the first data structure of the setting information in the first document file into the second data structure of the setting information proces sable by the second information processing apparatus to generate the second document file when determining that the first data structure and the second data structure are different.

A information processing apparatus capable of avoiding deadlock between transmission and reception operations of data. A transmission section transmits a data block including a predetermined amount of data and a sequence number. A reception section receives the data block. A packet inspection controller of the reception section determines whether the received data block is correct or wrong, based on a result of detection of an error in the data and a result of comparison between an expected value of the sequence number and a value of the sequence number included in the data block. The expected value of the sequence number is changed to a next value when it is determined that the data block is wrong a predetermined number of times.
