An input device is mountable on an image forming apparatus including a display portion capable of displaying information and is a numerical key unit 70 at least including a numerical key portion 110 consisting of a hardware key capable of inputting information on a numerical value and a start key 131 consisting of a hardware key capable of inputting information for starting predetermined processing. The start key 131 is disposed on a front side F than the numerical key portion 110 in a state in which the numerical key unit 70 is mounted on the image forming apparatus.

An image forming system is configured to receive an input of natural language speech. Regardless of whether the natural language speech includes a combination of first words or second words, the image forming system can recognize the natural language speech as an instruction to select a specific print setting displayed on a screen.

An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an original, a transmission unit configured to transmit image data to an external apparatus, a printing unit configured to print an image, a display unit configured to display the image, and a control unit configured to suspend a job executed by the printing unit in response to a selection of a key for suspending a currently executed job, display a list of jobs on the display unit, and cancel a job selected by a user from the displayed list of the jobs. The control unit displays a list of transmission jobs for the transmission unit to transmit the image data generated when the reading unit reads the original in response to the selection of the key during display of a main menu screen for accepting a selection of a function to be used.

An information processing apparatus which is capable of reliably switching display languages in response to depression of a language switching button. A display language on a display unit is switched to a language selected by a user from a list of languages displayed on the display unit. In response to selection of a language switching button by the user, the display language on the display unit is switched to one of a plurality of languages associated with the language switching button. Currently-displayed language information indicating a language currently displayed on the display unit is obtained when the language switching button is selected by the user. When the language switching button is selected by the user, the display language on the display unit is switched to one of the plurality of languages associated with the language switching button and different from a language currently displayed on the display unit.

Scanner, in particular a back-of-hand scanner, with a holder, which essentially consists of a two-part housing with an integrated scanner and further assemblies for data transmission, with at least two commercially available, two-part or four-part push buttons being arranged on the housing of the scanner, which consist of a lower part and an upper part, which can be brought into operative engagement, the upper part of the respective push button on the underside of the housing of the scanner and the lower part of the respective push button are provided on a holder/fastening option for the scanner, characterized in that the push buttons (6) are made electrically conductive material and are designed as electrical interface contacts, on the one hand the upper parts (6) of the push buttons (6) of the scanner (1) have electrical connecting elements that connect to the additional electrical/electronic assemblies in the housing (2) of the scanner (1), while on the other hand lower parts (6) of the push buttons 6 of the holder (7) are equipped with electrical connecting elements (9) which lead to the additional electrical/electronic assemblies in or on the holder (7).

To make it possible for a user to easily perform partial editing for an unsettled file name or the like being displayed on a UI screen of the image processing apparatus. An editing a UI screen that takes a character string selected by a user as a target is displayed.

According to one embodiment, a sales data processing device includes a display configured to rotate to face a first direction, from which a clerk operates the sale data processing device in a first mode, and a second direction different from the first direction, from which a customer operates the sales data processing device in a second mode. A detection unit is configured to detect whether the display faces the first direction or the second direction and indicate the first or second mode according to the detected first or second direction. A processor is configured to enable a first group of components to be operated in the first mode and to enable a second group of components to be operated in the second mode according to the indicated first or second mode of the detection unit.

According to aspects of the present disclosures, when receiving an enabling request of a cloud cooperation function, a controller of an MFP notifies a user using an LCD module and change its state to an approval waiting state. When an approval operation by a user is confirmed, the MFP shifts access permission state and notifies a mobile terminal of the fact. When a constant connection between the MFP and a server is established, the MFP transmits a creation request for creating a server access token to the server. Then, the MFP receives the server access toke and transmits the same to the mobile terminal.

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.
