To make it easy for a user to grasp with which text block within a preview pane, a setting item within a property pane is associated. By using a color allocated to a setting item displayed in the property pane, at least a part of a display field corresponding to the setting item is colored. Then, in a case where a user selects one of text blocks in a scanned image preview-displayed in the preview pane in the state where one of setting item is selected in the property pane, the text block is colored by using a color allocated to the setting item in the selected state.

An image printing apparatus, which displays a two-dimensional code, includes: a display device; a two-dimensional code key configured to receive an operation from a user; and an LED equipped separately from the display device and configured to provide a predetermined notification separately from a screen displayed by the display device. A CPU is configured to control the display device to display a predetermined screen and the LED is configured to provide the predetermined notification based on a case where a predetermined condition for changing a screen displayed by the display unit is satisfied, and the CPU is configured to control the display unit to display the predetermined code in a case where the operation is received by the two-dimensional code key from the user while the predetermined screen is being displayed by the display device and the predetermined notification is being provided by the LED.

A pipe connection decision device includes a first material including a plurality of first pipes each having a connector receiver attached to one end, a second material including a plurality of second pipes each having a connector attached to one end, a plurality of light emitters respectively provided on the plurality of connector receivers, a plurality of light receivers respectively provided on the plurality of connectors, a storage device, a display device, and a control device. The control device causes the display device, upon deciding that the color of received light accords with an allocated color, with respect to all of the plurality of light receivers, to display a first message, and causes the display device, upon deciding that the color of received light discords with the allocated color, with respect to at least one of the plurality of light receivers, to display a second message.

An image forming apparatus includes at least one of a print engine and a scan engine, a communication interface, a display, and a controller configured to perform at least one of controlling the print engine to perform printing and controlling the display to display a status of the printing, and controlling the scan engine to perform image scanning and controlling the display to display a status of the image scanning. The controller is further configured to sequentially switch a target image to be displayed from one still image to another among a plurality of still images constituting an animation, thereby displaying the animation on the display, and change a manner to display the animation when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device.

An image forming apparatus includes a first ejection destination to which a recording medium is ejected, and a second ejection destination disposed at a position which is less visually recognized from a surrounding user than the first ejection destination; a memory; and a processor configured to perform control to turn on a first light emitting unit disposed at a position where a visually recognizable range from surroundings is wider than the second ejection destination, in a case where a recording medium ejected to the second ejection destination is left.

During TRIM processing, an apparatus cannot read/write data from/to a semiconductor storage device, and thus cannot perform processing using the device. If the TRIM processing is executed irrespective of a user's intention, the user is to wait for completion of the TRIM processing before performing a desired function of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a nonvolatile storage unit having semiconductor areas, a control unit configured to count a value of at least one type of data, an execution unit configured to execute TRIM processing that notifies the storage unit of an unused area among the semiconductor areas and performs wear leveling on an area in use among the semiconductor areas, and a notification unit configured to provide a notification prompting the execution of the TRIM processing when the counted value of the data satisfies a condition for a threshold.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion configured to form an image on a sheet; a mounting portion on which an IC card reader which includes a lighting portion where light indicating an operation state comes on and which is used for user authentication is mounted; a reader cover mounted on the mounting portion and covering the IC card reader, wherein the reader cover is provided with a plurality of openings, either one of the openings opposing the lighting portion of the IC card reader; and a light transmission sheet provided on the reader cover and covering the openings, wherein transmittance of visible light for the light transmission sheet is 5% or more and 25% or less.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication section, an operation section, a sound generating section, and a control section. The communication section is communicably connected to an external terminal. The operation section is operated by the external terminal. The sound generating section generates sound when the operation section is operated. The control section controls the sound generating section. The operation section has an operation accepting section that accepts an operation by an operator. The control section determines whether the operation section is operated by the external terminal or operated by the operator when the operation section is operated. When determining that the operation section is operated by the external terminal, the control section prohibits generation of sound by the sound generating section. When determining that the operation section is operated by the operator, the control section permits the generation of the sound by the sound generating section.

An image processing system includes an information processing apparatus and an image processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus includes a first operation input portion that receives a first operation input, a second operation input portion that receives a second operation input, a first notification portion that performs a first notification, and a second notification portion that performs a second notification. The image processing system further includes a notification selection portion that selects at least one of the first notification portion and the second notification portion of the information processing apparatus as a destination to which a notification of a processing result regarding the image processing executed by the image processing apparatus is sent.

An image forming apparatus includes a mounting surface provided on a main body and on which paper is placed; a person detection section provided in the main body; a processor configured to control return from a sleep state of the main body, based on the detection of a person by the person detection section, and perform control such that in a case where there is no paper on the mounting surface when transition to the sleep state, a nearby person approaching the main body is included in a detection target of the person detection section, and a passerby passing near the main body is not included in the detection target, in the sleep state, and in a case where there is a paper on the mounting surface when the transition, the nearby person and the passerby are included in the detection target, in the sleep state; and a notification section that notifies of paper remaining in a case where there is a paper on the mounting surface after the return.
