An information processing apparatus includes a display screen and a display controller. The display screen displays a first message corresponding to a first event occurring in the information processing apparatus. The display controller controls, in a case where a second event occurs while the first message is being displayed on the display screen, a display mode of a second message corresponding to the second event, based on a relationship between the first event and the second event.

An image forming apparatus, to which terminals are connected, comprises an image forming unit, a detector that detects an error, and a controller that, when the error is detected, specifies a portable terminal through which an operation to eliminate the error is requested, transmits a request to the specified terminal, and transmits a notification that notifies of an occurrence of the error to each terminal other than the specified terminal. The terminal that has received the request displays information representing an error type and information promoting an elimination of the error, and the terminal that has received the notification displays not the information that promotes the elimination of the error, but the information representing the error type.

An image forming apparatus includes a CPU. When an error occurs, the CPU notifies a user or the like of the error and adds information about the error to an error table. When the error is resolved, the CPU deletes the information about the resolved error from the error table. The CPU refers to the error table and displays, on a display, a home screen in which a badge indicating the number of unresolved errors in each operation mode is displayed. When a mode selection button on which the badge is displayed is touched, the CPU re-notifies the user of the unresolved errors.

An information processing device includes an acquiring section, an encoding section, and a learning section. The acquiring section acquires log information indicating an operational condition of an electronic device. The encoding section assigns codes uniquely corresponding to the log information to the log information. The learning section applies the codes to a learning model that uses a recurrent neural network to presume an appearance probability of the log information corresponding to the codes.

An information processing apparatus including a storage device obtains an energized time to the storage device in a standby state where no job is being executed and a number of accesses to the storage device during the standby state. The information processing apparatus provides a display relating to a lifetime of the storage device based on the energized time and the number of accesses to the storage device.

An information processing apparatus includes a display, at least one memory, and at least one processor electrically coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: detect the presence or absence of a malfunction of the information processing apparatus; perform a reboot operation upon detecting the malfunction; determine whether or not all modules have finished start-up; suspend the reboot operation to display predetermined information on the display, upon detecting the malfunction at start-up of the information processing apparatus and determining that all modules have not finished start-up; and hide the predetermined information to resume the reboot operation, upon determining that all modules have finished the start-up or detecting a predetermined period elapsing after the malfunction is detected.

When a multifunction peripheral (MFP) that notifies guidance indicating how to resolve an abnormal state that occurs in itself detects the abnormal state, the MFP notifies a log-in user of the MFP of guidance according to the combination of the detected abnormal state and authority of the log-in user of the MFP.

A printing system that performs printing includes a printing apparatus in which at least a part thereof is configured by a unit part which is a replaceable function component. The printing apparatus is controlled using a command group including a printer control command which is a command for controlling the printing apparatus and a unit inspection command which is a command used for an inspection of the unit part. At least a part of the printing apparatus is configured by a plurality of unit parts having different functions. The plurality of unit parts are configured to be inspected using the unit inspection command.

An inspection system comprising an image forming apparatus and an inspection apparatus is provided. The inspection apparatus obtains a scanned image by reading a printed matter printed by the image forming apparatus, sets an inspection target area in which inspection is to be performed on data of a variable-data area included in the scanned image, sets an inspection item for the inspection target area, generates, in accordance with the inspection item, a collation value to which the inspection item is to be applied, in a reference image, performs inspection by comparing the reference image including the collation value and a scanned image of an inspection-target printed matter, and performs control so that the generated collation value is able to be confirmed prior to the inspection.

An image processing apparatus includes a display device and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a first screen for display on the display device and on which one of a plurality of malfunctioning part candidates of the image processing apparatus and one of a plurality of timings at which a particular sound was output by the image processing apparatus that malfunctioned, are selectable, when a first malfunctioning part candidate and a first timing are selected on the first screen, generate a second screen for display on the display device and on which one or more reference sounds corresponding to the particular sound are selectable, and when one of the reference sounds is selected on the second screen, generate error information indicating the first malfunctioning part candidate and the selected reference sound.
