An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of discharge portions, an execution control portion, and a permission/nonpermission setting portion. The execution control portion is capable of, in a case where a print process is to be executed in a state where there are one or more sheets in a specific discharge portion that is preliminarily set from among the plurality of discharge portions, holding an execution of the print process, wherein in the print process, an image is formed on a sheet and the sheet with the image is discharged to the specific discharge portion. The permission/nonpermission setting portion sets, in response to a user operation, whether to permit or not permit holding of the execution of the print process by the execution control portion.

An example method performed by a computing device may involve receiving print job data representing a print job to be carried out by a printer to produce at least one copy of a media product. The method may also involve using a condition set to select, from a plurality of bins of the printer each configured for storing media units output by the printer, a set of one or more bins for use in carrying out the print job. The condition set may include a first condition that the set of bins includes a particular bin having a remaining media unit capacity suitable for storing a total number of media units required to complete the print job. The method may also involve in response to using the condition set to select the set of bins, controlling the printer to carry out the print job using the set of bins.

An apparatus includes an output unit configured to output a printed material of a verification image in a case where a condition is satisfied, an obtainment unit configured to obtain a verification result based on a comparison between a read image of the printed material of the verification image and a correct answer image, and a control unit configured to control printing based on the verification result.

An operation unit is provided on a front side of the image forming apparatus. A document feeding portion feeds a document supported by a document supporting portion in a document feeding direction from a front side of the image forming apparatus toward the rear side of the image forming apparatus. A document discharge portion discharges the document in a document discharge direction from the rear side toward the front side. The operation unit is disposed on one side with respect to an apparatus center of the image forming apparatus in a left-right direction orthogonal to a direction from the front side to the rear side. A conveyance center of the document feeding portion in the left-right direction is disposed on the other side with respect to the apparatus center in the left-right direction.

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.

A sheet discharging apparatus includes a first discharge unit and a second discharge unit, a first stacking unit configured to stack the sheet discharged by the first discharge unit, a second stacking unit configured to stack the sheet discharged by the second discharge unit, a lifting unit configured to lift and lower the first and second stacking units, and a control unit configured to perform a separation process of moving at least one of the first and second stacking units so as to increase a distance between the first and second stacking units in a vertical direction in a case where a matter has come into contact with a lower surface of the first stacking unit and a distance between the sheet stacked on the second stacking unit and the lower surface of the first stacking unit is smaller than a threshold value.

A sheet discharging apparatus includes a first discharge unit and a second discharge unit configured to discharge a sheet respectively, a first stacking unit configured to stack the sheet discharged by the first discharge unit, a second stacking unit disposed below the first stacking unit, and configured to stack the sheet discharged by the second discharge unit, a lifting unit configured to lift and lower the first and second stacking units, and a control unit configured to perform a separation process of moving at least one of the first and second stacking units so as to increase a distance between the first and second stacking units in a vertical direction in a case where a matter has come into contact with a lower surface of the first stacking unit.

A mount apparatus to be mounted on a top surface, in a vertical direction, of a main body of an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet, includes a latch member extending toward the main body from a surface facing the top surface of the main body and being rotatable around a rotational axis extending in a direction along a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction, and a biasing member configured to bias the latch member in a predetermined rotation direction. The latch member is inserted into the main body through an opening that is provided on the top surface of the main body and is engaged with the main body by a biasing force of the biasing member in a state where the mount apparatus is mounted on the main body.

There is provided a non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing a computer, which is incorporated in a print control device that controls a print job, to perform: a) determining whether or not a reference source part included in a print target document related to the print job and a reference destination part included in the print target document and corresponding to the reference source part are arranged on different pages in a printout obtained by printing out the print target document; b) estimating a binding position in the printout; and c) changing at least one of arrangement target areas of the reference source part and the reference destination part based on the binding position and the arrangement position of the reference source part or the reference destination part, when it is determined that the reference source part and the reference destination part are arranged on different pages.

An image reading apparatus includes a common transport route, a first and a second transport route, a first and a second image sensor, a first and a second discharge tray, and a controller. The controller executes a first reading mode including guiding the document from the common transport route to the first transport route, reading the image on the first face of the document with the first image sensor, and discharging the document to the first discharge tray, or a second reading mode including reading the image on the second face of the document with the second image sensor, guiding the document from the common transport route to the second transport route, and discharging the document to the second discharge tray, inhibits the first reading mode, upon deciding that the first discharge tray is full, and inhibits the second reading mode, upon deciding that the second discharge tray is full.
