An image forming apparatus (100) has an operation panel (5), a storage portion (2), an image reading portion (3), and a controller (1). On recognizing a job executed after a job is canceled as a result of a cancellation instruction being accepted to be a retried job, the controller (1), based on job information on the canceled job and job information on the retried job, detects as an error-prone item a setting item for which a set value differs between the canceled job and the retried job, and makes the storage portion (2) store improper setting information including information indicating the error-prone item.

An image forming apparatus includes a display device that displays a plurality of setting items related to an operation of an electronic apparatus, an operation device and a touch panel to be operated by a user, and a controller that sets a value of each of the setting items on a screen of the display device according to an input made through the operation device and the touch panel, initializes the values of the respective setting items, when a total reset mode is set through the operation device and the touch panel, and initializes, when an individual reset mode is set through the operation device and the touch panel, and resetting of the setting items on the screen of the display device is instructed through the touch panel, the value of the setting item about which the resetting has been instructed.

A print material container comprising a body to hold print material, a housing, and a detecting member. The housing being coupled to the body and including a movable mass to move in the housing when a shaking force is applied to the print material container. The detecting member to detect the shaking force and to signal a feedback of the shaking force relative to a shaking force threshold.

Even from a plurality of small documents, their front-side and back-side images to be formed on a recording paper sheet, with alignment and coincidence of the front-side and back-side images of each document between the front and back sides of the recording paper sheet. In an image forming apparatus, an image processing section detects a front-side image of an original document from a scan area read in a first scan by an image reading section, detects a back-side image of the original document from a scan area read in a second scan, and moves or rotates the front-side image and the back-side image of the original document in terms of a whole image of the scan area so that the front-side image and the back-side image of the original document are brought into alignment and coincidence between a front side and a back side of a recording paper sheet.

Lateral adjustment apparatus comprises a gripper to grip a print substrate, the gripper being mounted on a rotor rotatable about a lateral axis, and a lateral adjustment motor to drive movement of the gripper laterally along the rotor to adjust a lateral position of the print substrate. The lateral adjustment motor is mounted on the rotor.

An editor controls a display of an edit screen for editing a print content to a tape to prepare a label having an object printed on the tape and a light transmission at least in a part of the label. A controller of the editor displays a label frame indicative of an outer shape of the label on the edit screen, designates a color of a substrate on which the label is arranged, displays an area in the label frame corresponding to a first part having a light transmission of the label with a color of the substrate designated in the substrate color designating processing, and displays the object in the area.

In example implementations, a printhead rotator for rotating printheads is provided. The apparatus includes a housing and a lid coupled to the housing. A rotator assembly that holds a printhead is enclosed by the housing and the lid. The printhead in the rotator assembly is rotated by a motor coupled to the rotator assembly at a predefined rate. A timer display and a color indicator is also coupled to the housing.

An authentication operation of a communication device is facilitated without making an outer appearance of an image forming apparatus complicated. An image forming apparatus 1 includes an image reading portion 41 for reading an original image, an image forming portion 44 for forming the image on a recording material, communication devices 32 and 33 capable of communication with a storing device 52 for storing information through rear-range wireless communication, and a mounting portion 23 to which the communication devices are mounted, and the mounting portion is provided between the image reading portion and the image forming portion.

An information processing apparatus includes an installation control unit configured to execute an installation of a program, validate predetermined information for the program and thereafter execute the program, and invalidate the predetermined information when the program is successfully executed, and a launching control unit configured to launch the program installed in the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus is started up, the launching control unit not launching the program, for which the predetermined information is validated.
