An image processing apparatus includes: a memory configured to store a machine-learned model produced by performing machine learning using teaching data associating image data generated by reading a document by an image reading device with device abnormality information on abnormality of the image reading device; and when the image reading device reads a document, a processor configured to obtain the device abnormality information based on generated image data and the machine-learned model.

An image reading apparatus includes an original illuminator; a reflector for reflecting light reflected by the original; a reading portion for reading the light reflected by the reflector; a holding member holding the reflection member; a first bonding portion connecting the holding member and one end portion of the reflector in a direction along a reflecting surface of the reflection member; and a second bonding portion connecting the holding member and the other end portion of the reflector in the direction along the reflecting surface of the reflection member. The second bonding portion has a hardness less than that of the first bonding portion.

An image reading apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image reading unit configured to generate reference data by reading a reference surface and to generate image data by reading a sheet. A reference unit has a reference surface. A shading correction unit determines whether a portion of the reference surface includes a contaminant based on image data generated by the image reading unit reading the portion of the reference unit. When the portion of the reference surface is determined to not include a contaminant, the shading correction unit generates reference data based on the image data generated by the image reading unit reading the portion of the reference surface determined to not include a contaminant.

An information processing apparatus includes a setting reception section and a posture acquisition section. The information processing apparatus outputs a scan setting to an image reading apparatus including a main body having a plurality of postures. The main body reads a document according to the scan setting. The setting reception section is configured to display a setting item included in the scan setting on a display portion and receive a change in a setting content shown in the setting item. The posture acquisition section acquires posture information indicating the posture of the main body from the image reading apparatus. The setting reception section switches the setting item displayed on the display portion to the setting content according to the posture when the posture indicated by the posture information is switched.

A media supplying apparatus includes a first support portion, a second support portion, a housing portion, and a holding portion. The first support portion has a first supporting surface for supporting a paper sheet, is inclinably provided, and when inclined from a non-use state, switches to a use state. The second support portion has a second supporting surface that supports the paper sheet, and is disposed upstream of the first support portion in the use state in a supply direction of the paper sheet. The housing portion is, inclinably toward an upstream of the first supporting portion in the supply direction, provided, and retractably houses the second support portion. The holding portion holds the first support portion and the housing portion in an inclination orientation so that the first supporting surface and the second supporting surface are aligned in the supply direction.

A control system includes: image forming apparatuses at least one of which is installed in each of a plurality of areas in a building; a management apparatus; and alarms that are each provided for each of the areas, respectively. The management apparatus manages security of the building including the plurality of areas, detects an abnormal high temperature occurrence area by identifying the area in which the image forming apparatus from which the abnormal high temperature is detected is installed when the abnormal high temperature is detected in the image forming apparatus, and transmits a report command notification for reporting that the abnormal high temperature has occurred in the area in which an alarm is provided to the alarm which is provided in the abnormal high temperature occurrence area.

An image reading apparatus includes an original stacking portion, an original feeding portion, an image reading portion, a shading operation portion, and a receiving portion. The shading operation portion acquires a shading correction value by causing the image reading portion to read a white reference member with a predetermined reading resolution when an original is stacked on the original stacking portion. When a resolution change instruction is received before reading of the original is started, depending on the resolution change instruction, the shading operation portion acquires a shading correction value by causing again the image reading portion to read the white reference member with a changed reading resolution.

In a case where a temperature detected by a detector is greater than a threshold, one or more processors controls a light source not to emit light and stops conveyance of a document by a conveyance unit. In a case where a predetermined amount of time has elapsed from when the one or more processors controls the light source not to emit the light, the one or more processors controls the light source to emit the light and starts conveyance of the document by the conveyance unit, regardless of a detection result of the detector.

An image reading apparatus includes a scanner, a sensor, and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect an original at a predetermined position. The controller is configured to determine whether or not an immediate execution mode in which no user operation is needed to cause the scanner to start scanning is set, and in case the immediate execution mode is determined to be set, determine whether or not a scan start condition is satisfied. The scan start condition includes the sensor detecting the original at the predetermined position. The controller is configured to control the scanner to start scanning, upon a standby time of a predetermined amount being passed since the scan start condition is satisfied.

A reading apparatus includes a transport unit, a multi-feed detection unit, a reading unit, and a controller. When a multi-feed of the document is detected by the multi-feed detection unit, the controller multi-feeds causes the transport unit to discharge, downstream of the transport path, a multi-fed document for which the multi-feed is detected and then temporarily stops the transport, stores multi-fed page information indicating a page number of the multi-fed document, restarts the transport after the temporary stop, and after the reading unit reads a remaining document whose page succeeds a page of the multi-fed document, performs a re-reading process including the transporting and the reading of the multi-fed document, respectively, and inserts, based on the multi-fed page information, second read data acquired by the reading in the re-reading process into first read data acquired by the reading completed before the re-reading process.
