A modular dashboard for a printing device includes: a board; a cut-out in the board to accommodate user controls; a lateral portion of the board that is lateral to the cut-out to cover a pocket in the printing device for containing a device adding functionality to the printing device; and a fastener for removably attaching the board to the printing device.

An image forming device includes a casing, an image forming unit, a first board, and an operational button. The image forming unit and the first board are disposed in the casing. The first board has a first opening extending through the first board, and a loop antenna disposed around the first opening. The operational button is located in the casing through the first opening. The operational button has a top surface exposed to an exterior of the casing.

In S210, a character size and an inter-column size are calculated using a virtual body size in S206, and the character size and an inter-character size (inter-column size) are reflected in properties of each text box. In step S301, a position and a size of each text box are set, in step S302, the character size is set in the property of each text box, and in the following step S304, the inter-character size is set in the property so that characters do not overlap in each text box. Thereafter, in S306, the text boxes are superimposed so that reference frames of adjacent characters are in contact with each other.

According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus, comprises a document feeder to feed a document page by page, a scanner to scan the document fed by the document feeder and generate image data of the document, a printing apparatus to print images on recording media. An interface is configured to receive print settings and a test printing command. A controller is configured to control the document feeder to feed pages of the document according to the print settings when the test printing command is received, acquire image data of the pages of the document fed by the document feeder, and control the printing apparatus to print images in a test printing. The images in the test printing comprising image data of the pages of the document fed by the document feeder.

There is provided a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing device provided with a first communication interface, a second communication interface and a controller. The recording medium contains instructions realizing an application program. When startup option including the address information is not delivered and when the address information is not stored, the control executes a standby process to await input of the address information through a user interface is executed. When the address information indicating a location of a storage server is input during the standby process, the controller downloads the content data from the storage server indicated by the input address information. When the address information included in the startup option has been stored in the memory, the controller downloads the content data from the storage server indicated by the address information store in the memory.

There are provided a printer, a digital camera with a printer, and a printing method which are capable of simply printing an image having photographic composition intended by a user. A frame layout is displayed on a monitor. Based on an operation of an operation unit, images stored in an internal memory are displayed in frames, and images to be arranged in the frames are selected. In this case, portions of the images corresponding to the frames are cut out, and the images are displayed in the frames. Based on an operation of the operation unit, the images to be arranged in the frames are adjusted by zooming and/or moving the images to be arranged in the frames within the frames. After setting of images for all the frames is completed, an image displayed on the monitor is printed according to a print instruction.

An image forming device includes a light emission controller which controls emission of a plurality of types of light emission patterns by a plurality of light sources. The light emission controller emits each light emission pattern in response to a plurality of types of operations performed by an operator with respect to an operation portion. The light emission controller causes a light emission start timing of each of the plurality of types of light emission patterns to be different depending on the contents of the operations. The light emission controller emits first light emission patterns in response to operations performed by an operator with respect to the operation portion, emits second light emission patterns in response to a predetermined operation by the image forming device, and causes the first light emission patterns and the second light emission patterns to be different from each other in light emission end timing.

An operation panel includes a push key and a switch. The push key is depressed through an opening formed in a panel body. The switch is pushed by depressing of the push key. The push key includes a tapered part tapered toward the switch. The panel body includes an elastic piece inclined toward the tapered part from a circumference of the opening and elastically deformable to an opposite side to the tapered part. When the push key is depressed, the elastic piece is elastically deformed to the opposite side by the tapered part. When the depressing of the push key is released, the push key is pushed up by an elastic restoring force of the elastic piece.

Information processing equipment includes: a main body housing unit; and a console panel provided at the main body housing unit, the console panel having a front surface which has a display unit visible on the main body housing unit and does not include at least a hard key for switching an operation mode to a maintenance mode, the hard key being provided on a surface other than the front surface of the console panel.

Digital redacting stylus enabling footprint-less marking of redaction targets on a physical original document, and system involving the stylus and a multifunction peripheral device that uses the unaltered physical original document itself, together with data from the stylus to print out, or otherwise visually represent, an accordingly redacted copy of the physical original document. The stylus can also enable a user to add words, not present in the physical original document, to an OCR-scanned digital copy of the original document that is then printed out or visually represented.
