An image forming system includes a hardware processor that acquires results of reading of an image on a recording medium read by an image reader, determines quality of the image, and controls an ejector and sheet ejection into the ejector, the recording medium being ejected into the ejector, the ejector including a stacker, wherein the stacker includes an elevating tray on which ejected recording mediums are stacked, and has a mechanism that enables removal of a recording medium placed on the elevating tray while the elevating tray is descending, the elevating tray being capable of ascending and descending, and, when the stacker is set as an ejection destination at a time of reading of the image and ejecting the recording medium into the ejector, and the image is determined to be abnormal, the hardware processor determines a timing to cause the elevating tray of the set stacker to descend.

An image capture device such as a multi-function printer may identify the language of a document and automatically select a language configuration with predetermined settings. The language configuration may be applied to the image capture device automatically, or a user may be prompted to set or accept the language configuration. In some cases, analysis of the language may be performed using a cloud based service. In some cases, a translation of the document or parts of the document may be performed.

A reading device including a reader, a position reference member, and circuitry. The position reference member has a reference pattern along a first direction of the position reference member. The circuitry is configured to detect the reference pattern of the position reference member; determine coordinates of at least two pixels in the second direction, based on the detected reference pattern; calculate a first correction value based on the coordinates determined for the at least two pixels of the reader in the second direction; detect an outer shape and a position of an image pattern on the conveyed object based on data read by the reader; obtain a difference between an image of the conveyed object, of which a shape has been corrected, and an image of the conveyed object, of which a shape has not been correction; and set a second correction value based on the obtained difference.

An association relating to the field of communications is enabled. A method comprises: acquiring image data in a view area of an imaging apparatus; dividing the view area into sub-view areas; acquiring an attribute information set of at least one object in any one sub-view area through beam scanning; establishing a correspondence between the attribute information set and image data corresponding to the one sub-view area; and acquiring, in response to that the attribute information set comprises attribute information of multiple objects, distance related information between the multiple objects and a beam emitting position. An accurate correspondence can be established between an object in a view area of an imaging apparatus and attribute information of the object, and with multiple objects, distance related information between the objects and a beam emitting position is acquired, which helps to further determine a correspondence between each object and corresponding attribute information.

An information processing apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller performs processing dependent on hardware having a function. The second controller is connected to the first controller via a communication path and performs processing not dependent on the hardware. The second controller stores an execution command in a storage device. The execution command is for executing processing and has a format not dependent on the hardware. The first controller includes a converter, a memory controller, and an operation controller. The converter acquires the execution command from the storage device and converts the execution command into a command for controlling the hardware and dependent on the hardware. The memory controller writes the converted command into a memory. The operation controller reads the converted command from the memory and controls operation of the hardware.

The present image processing apparatus transmits the result of reading an original to an external terminal capable of communicating with the image processing apparatus, makes a user confirm the reading result on the external terminal, receives the confirmatory result of confirming the reading result from the external terminal, and registers the reading result to the image processing apparatus.

A document management facility may process volumes of physical documents for digital imaging. The document management facility may utilize robotic apparatus to perform the various functions for processing the documents, which may include document intake, document storage, document digitization, and/or document removal. Digital versions of the documents may be accessed with a document management system.

An image processing apparatus of the present invention displays a transmission setting screen for a user to set a transmission destination of image data, and when a transmission instruction is received from a user, transmits the image data to a destination set via the transmission setting screen. Meanwhile, if destination information is received from an external apparatus, a screen displayed on a display unit is changed to a transmission setting screen, and a destination designated by the received the destination information is set as a transmission destination of the image data.

An image recording apparatus, including: a housing; an image recording portion held by the housing; a control board having a mounting face and disposed in the housing such that the mounting face extends along a perpendicular plane perpendicular to a height direction, a control circuit for controlling the image recording portion being provided on the control board; and a communication board having a mounting face and disposed in the housing such that the mounting face extends along the perpendicular plane, such that the communication board is distant from the control board in a direction along the perpendicular plane, and such that the communication board is located within a height range ranging to the control board from a distal end of a highest one of mounted components mounted on the control board, an interface circuit to be connected to a telephone line being provided on the communication board.

An information processing system includes an apparatus, and an information processing apparatus including a search unit configured to search for the apparatus through a wireless communication, a request unit configured to request the apparatus for an execution of an input or an output of data in response to an event where the search unit finds the apparatus, and an execution unit configured to cause the information processing apparatus to execute the input or the output of the data in response to an event where the search unit does not find the apparatus.
