A CPU of a PC executes display control processing that displays, on a display, a print image superimposed on a photographic image of a fabric captured by a camera, specified area processing that specifies, as a specified area, a predetermined area of the photographic image, and overlap deleted print image formation processing that forms an overlap deleted print image obtained by deleting an overlapping section from the print image that overlaps the specified area. The CPU projects the overlap deleted print image onto an object to be printed.

An information processing apparatus manages an image forming apparatus installed in a building having a plurality of areas. The information processing apparatus includes an installation area information storage device, containing installation area information indicating each of the areas where the image forming apparatus is installed, a communication device that makes communication with an external apparatus, and a control device including a processor, and configured to acts as a controller, when the processor executes an operation control program. The controller transmits, when an abnormality detection device, provided in each of the areas to detect an abnormality that has occurred in the area, detects the abnormality, a command notice to turn off power for the image forming apparatus installed in the area where the abnormality has occurred, from the communication device to the image forming apparatus, according to the installation area information stored in the installation area information storage device.

A control apparatus may cause an image forming apparatus to execute processing based on contents of the processing instructed by voice. The control apparatus includes a hardware processor that may: cause a display apparatus of the image forming apparatus to display the contents of the processing prior to execution of the processing; acquire an operating state of the display apparatus; and decide contents of voice to be outputted to promote confirmation of the contents of the processing in accordance with the acquired operating state of the display apparatus.

A power supply control device includes a switch to output a switch depression signal, which is in a first logic level during a period in which the switch is not depressed, and is in a second logic level during a period in which the switch is depressed, a first power supply to generate a first DC voltage based on AC power, which is supplied from an outside, and to apply the first DC voltage to a predetermined load, and a second power supply configured to generate a second DC voltage based on the AC power irrespective of a state of the switch, and a controller to operate on the second DC voltage, to switch an operation state of the first power supply when the switch depression signal has switched from a first logic level to a second logic level and remains at the second logic level.

An image forming apparatus including a storage device storing, from among data to be retained when the power is shut off, either or both of important protection data, being a type determined to be important in advance, and protection data, to be retained when the power is shut off other than the important protection data, at respective predetermined timings. A detection information acquirer receives detection information from a sensor detecting at least one of: a change in either or both of direction and tilt, vibration, a predetermined operation, an approaching person, a person entering a room, and a person entering a predetermined area. A protection processor starts processing for writing either or both of the important protection data and the protection data into the storage device in response to the detection information received by the detection information acquirer, at timings different from the predetermined timings.

In a case where a connection between a communication apparatus operating in a connection setting state and a terminal apparatus has been established during a period in which an initial setting of the communication apparatus is being performed, the communication apparatus displays a predetermined notification screen on a display unit after the initial setting is completed, and, in a case where a connection between the communication apparatus operating in the connection setting state and the terminal apparatus has not been established during a period in which the initial setting is being performed, the communication apparatus does not display the predetermined notification screen on the display unit after the initial setting is completed.

An image forming apparatus includes a voice input interface, a controller, and a communication interface. The voice input unit is configured to receive a voice in the vicinity of the image forming apparatus as an input and output a voice signal indicating the voice. The controller is configured to record the voice signal output during a predetermined first period as voice data. The controller is configured to acquire related data acquired in a second period determined according to the first period. The communication interface is configured to transmit the related data and the voice data to another apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit, a storage unit configured to store a program to be executed by the control unit, a verification unit configured to read the program from the storage unit and to verify the read program, and a light-emitting unit configured to be changed to a predetermined light-emitting state or to be changed from the predetermined light-emitting state based on a result of the verification of the program by the verification unit.

In a scanner, a medium transport apparatus includes an apparatus main body including a medium transport path from a supply unit, which supplies a medium, to a discharge unit, which discharges the medium, a switcher that switches an attitude of the apparatus main body with respect to a mounting surface on which the apparatus main body is mounted, and a controller that, when the attitude of the apparatus main body with respect to the mounting surface is switched, performs control in accordance with the attitude after the switching.

An image forming apparatus includes: a controller that controls the image forming apparatus; a memory that stores noise levels produced by a plurality of devices constituting the image forming apparatus during operation of the devices; and a microphone that accepts a speech instruction for the image forming apparatus. The controller accepts a job, detects a speech level from the speech accepted by the microphone, compares the detected speech level with a noise level that corresponds to the job to be executed in the image forming apparatus and that has been read from the memory, and controls, based on a result of the comparison, which one of a process of accepting the speech instruction and a process of executing the job in the image forming apparatus should be preferentially performed.
