An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to perform a storage printing process that includes storing print data in a dedicated memory, which is a portable memory set as a storage destination to store the print data in the storage printing process when attached to a dedicated port among a plurality of ports, and causing a print engine to perform printing according to the print data stored in the dedicated memory in response to an operation received via a user interface, prior to the storage printing process, set one of the plurality of ports as the dedicated port, in response to a portable memory being attached to a port, determine whether the portable memory is the dedicated memory and the port is the dedicated port, and provide a notification when determining that the portable memory is not the dedicated memory but the port is the dedicated port.

A detachable device that can be attached/detached to/from an electronic apparatus and includes a memory unit: analyzes input data for analysis from the electronic apparatus; divides a processing result obtained by the analysis into a plurality of partial data and store the partial data in a plurality of areas of the memory unit such that addresses are not continuous; determines, based on a parameter included in a read command from the electronic apparatus, whether the read command is a command for reading out the processing result; and if it is determined that the read command is the command for reading out the processing result, reads out the plurality of partial data from the plurality of areas of the memory unit, constructs the partial data to the processing result, and outputs the processing result.

The present invention relates to a camera system, comprising: a camera operative to capture an image, said camera comprising a power input port for coupling to a power supply assembly; a housing for supporting said camera, said housing comprising an opening, wherein said opening is arranged to provide access to said power input port; a removable panel engageable to said housing to cover said opening by a security fastener to secure said removable panel to said housing in a cover configuration, said removable panel comprising a formation for engaging with at least one portion of said power supply assembly in said cover configuration to restrain movement of said power supply assembly to maintain a coupled arrangement of said power supply assembly and said power input port in said cover configuration.

A connection preventing member includes an insertion portion and a handle. The insertion portion is configured to mechanically engage with a connector housing having an opening connected to an input and output (I/O) port of an electric apparatus. The insertion portion includes a lock unit configured to engage with an engagement portion of the connector housing. The handle is connected to the insertion portion via a connecting portion. The handle is configured to be foldable at the connecting portion and separable from the insertion portion after the insertion portion is inserted into the connector housing. The lock unit is at a position at which the insertion portion covers a terminal portion of the connector housing when the lock unit engages with the engagement portion and the handle is separated from the insertion portion.

A printing apparatus for shortening the time required to read documents having a plurality of pages, while preventing the occurrence of an overflow in a storage unit.
