An image forming apparatus includes an executing unit configured to, if there is a shortage of storage capacity for image information necessary to perform image formation, execute the image formation at a reduced image quality below a required image quality, and an informing unit configured to inform that image formation has been executed at a reduced image quality, and inform an effective measure to enable image formation that does not involve a reduction in image quality, the effective measure including at least one of making a setting change to storage capacity allocation and increasing storage capacity.

An information processing apparatus includes an operation unit, a controller unit, and an external device controller, and a management unit. The external device controller is configured to control connection, writing, and reading of an external memory device. The management unit is configured to manage a mount state and unmount state of the external memory device. The mount state is a state in which the external memory device becomes available when the operation unit or the controller unit recognizes the external memory device. The unmount state is a state in which the mount state is released. The management unit is configured to execute an unmount process depending on the mount state when an unmount request of the external memory device is issued.

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 processing device may first-receive print data and device identifying information from an information processing device. The image processing device may determine whether or not a particular event is occurring. The image processing device may first-store the received print data in a memory when the particular event is not occurring. The image processing device may second-store the received device identifying information in the memory when the particular event is occurring. The image processing device may send the device identifying information to a push notification server when the particular event has ended. The image processing device may second-receive print data from the information processing device corresponding to the sent device identifying information. The image processing device may third-store the received print data in the memory. The image processing device may print using the print data stored in the memory at least one of the first-storing and the third-storing.

A printer multifunction system includes a printer having a printer controller and a scanner having a scanner controller and a memory configured to store data obtained by reading a print original by a sensor. The printer and the scanner are connected to a network to which a computer is connected, wherein the scanner controller determines whether to transmit the data stored in the memory to the printer or the computer, based on at least one of a state of the printer, a reading setting of the scanner, and a state of the memory, and causes the scanner to transmit the data stored in the memory to a destination determined by the scanner controller. The printer controller receives the data from the scanner in a case where the data is transmitted to the printer, and receives the data from the computer in a case where the data is transmitted to the computer from the scanner, and the printer controller causes the printer to execute a printing operation, based on the data.

A structure analysis device includes a memory and a processor configured to obtain model information, evaluate a size of a model in accordance with the model information, select, in accordance with the evaluated size, either a direct method or an iterative method as a first algorithm of a simultaneous linear equation of a structure analysis solver that uses a finite element method, and execute structure analysis of the model by using the first algorithm.

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.

An image processing apparatus includes a memory, an auxiliary storage used as a virtual memory together with the memory, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor determines whether or not a predetermined region set in the memory has a free space corresponding to a size of a necessary region to be reserved for execution of a specific application. When determining that the predetermined region does not have the free space, the hardware processor applies a first power-saving mode as a power-saving mode of the auxiliary storage. When determining that the predetermined region has the free space, the hardware processor applies, as the power-saving mode of the auxiliary storage, a second power-saving mode in which less power is consumed than in the first power-saving mode.

The invention relates to a camera system with an image sensor for generating primary image data and at least one interface unit for the data exchange with an external unit, wherein the camera system is designed to store at least a portion of the primary image data generated by the image sensor at least temporarily in a storage unit associated with the camera system.

A printing apparatus is configured to communicate with a terminal device via a local area network and an external device via the internet. The printing apparatus includes an input interface, a print device, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform: receiving specific image data representing the specific image from the terminal device; determining whether the input of the print instruction is required for printing the specific image; when it is determined that the input of the print instruction is required, transmitting the specific image data to the external device, receiving the print instruction via the input interface, acquiring the specific image data from the external device in response to the receipt of the print instruction, and printing the specific image with the print device.
