In one example of the disclosure, a set of electronic document templates is accessed and instances of duplicated document content are identified. Display of a user notice for first duplicated document content is caused. Responsive to receipt of data indicative of a user instruction to create a component template for the first duplicated content, the component template is created and stored.

An image forming apparatus includes (a) a plurality of image forming unit arranged along a transfer medium, each of which is arranged movable between a lower position and an upper position; (b) an estrangement controller to move each of the image forming units between these positions; (c) a print mode management part to determine a designated print mode; (d) an image forming part to select one or more of the image forming units corresponding to the designated print mode, and to form an image to be transferred to the transfer medium by using the selected image forming units; and (e) a correction process part that performs a correction process. Wherein (f) the correction process part regularly judges whether or not a correction process execution condition is satisfied, and performs a regular correction process when the correction process execution condition is satisfied, and (g) the print mode management part judges whether or not another print process in the designated print mode has been performed after a previous regular correction process, and sets a print mode based on a judgment result by the print mode management part.

An image processing apparatus includes: a raster data output that executes a first process of outputting raster data; a data transferer that generates image determination-purpose data, and executes a second process of storing the generated image determination-purpose data in a buffer; and a hardware processor that: executes a third process of determining whether an image presented by the image determination-purpose data contains a specific image, generates schedule information indicating a time schedule of the first, second, and third processes, determines each set of raster data on whether the time schedule satisfies an overflow condition, and performs control to extend the buffer, wherein the overflow condition is a condition that a part of a period of the second process overlaps with a part of a period during which the image determination-purpose data for which the third process has not been completed occupies an entire area of the buffer.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to perform a printing process of forming an image on a print medium based on print data, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether or not the printing process has completed based on remaining print data to be printed, when the print medium is removed from a paper discharge tray in which the print medium on which the image is formed by the image forming unit is placed, and to cause a warning to be output upon determining that the printing process has not completed based on the remaining print data to be printed.

It is possible to perform power control of a printer apparatus for each function module without increasing the circuit scale. A printer apparatus including: a printer unit configured to print an image on a printing medium; a printer control unit configured to control an operation of the printer unit; and a semiconductor integrated circuit performing image processing for input image data and having a first image processing module that performs image processing based on characteristics of the printer unit and a second image processing module that performs image processing independent of characteristics of the printer unit, and power control of the first image processing module of the semiconductor integrated circuit is performed by the printer control unit.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a gradation adjustment mark adder and a hardware processor. The hardware processor monitors and adjusts a gradation characteristic based on a result of scanning a gradation adjustment mark. The hardware processor makes a determination as to whether to form the gradation adjustment mark overlapping an image area of an image based on image data. If it is determined to form the gradation adjustment mark overlapping the image area, the hardware processor controls the gradation adjustment mark adder to add gradation adjustment mark information to the image data in the image area.

A reference image is generated based on processing information on processing including a process of inserting a second object into a first object configured such that the second object inserted therein is at least partially visible, and based on an image of the first object and an image of the second object. A captured image obtained by capturing an image of the first object with the second object inserted therein is verified with the reference image. The result of the verification is output.

An image formation apparatus includes: an image formation unit that forms an image based on a job; and a control unit that controls the image formation unit, the control unit having an image quality verification/adjustment function to compare an image quality of the scanned image and a predetermined image quality standard, and to carry out an image quality adjustment such that the image quality of the image is within an allowable range of the predetermined image quality standard when the image quality of the scanned image is not within the allowable range, the control unit comparing a required image quality for the job and the predetermined image quality standard before a carrying-out procedure to carry out the image quality verification/adjustment function before execution of the job as necessary, and deciding whether the image for the job satisfies the required image quality by the image quality verification/adjustment function.

A method for controlling an image capturing device includes: calculating luminance data of a first image to generate a plurality of first characteristic values, and calculating luminance data of a second image to generate a plurality of second characteristic values; calculating a plurality of motion values of a plurality of blocks of the second image according to the luminance data of the first image and the luminance data of the second image; determining a plurality of ratio parameters corresponding to the blocks of the second image according to the motion values; generating a plurality of adjusted second characteristic values according to the ratio parameters, the second characteristic values and the first characteristic values; and generating an adjustment signal for controlling the image capturing device according to the adjusted second characteristic values.

In an example, a print system include a component device that is operation in a number of state, a density engine, and a component engine. An example density engine identifies a plane region of a plane where print fluid is to be printed based on data of a print job and determines a density classifier for the plane based on a location of the plane region on the plane. An example component engine causes an adjustment of a component attribute of the component device based on the density classifier.
