A sheet feeding parameter management system includes: a plurality of air sheet feeding apparatuses each including an air sheet feeder that feeds a sheet and enabled to change a sheet feeding parameter; and a management apparatus connected to the plurality of air sheet feeding apparatuses, wherein each of the plurality of air sheet feeding apparatuses includes: a sheet type information acquisitor that acquires sheet type information; and a hardware processor that: adjusts the sheet feeding parameter; and transmits the sheet type information and the sheet feeding parameter to the management apparatus, and the management apparatus includes the hardware processor that: causes a storage to store an adjustment result associated with the sheet type information and the sheet feeding parameter; and sets, based on the adjustment result, for an air sheet feeding apparatus to be processed among the plurality of air sheet feeding apparatuses.

A recording material processing apparatus includes a processing tray, a detecting unit, a stapling unit, an instructing unit, a control unit, a switching unit, and a notifying unit. The detecting unit detects recording material placed in the processing tray. The stapling unit executes a stapling process for the recording material placed in the processing tray. The instructing unit outputs a stapling process execution instruction. Upon receipt of the execution instruction in a state in which the detecting unit has detected a recording material inserted in the processing tray from an outside of a main body of a main body apparatus, the control unit cause the stapling process to be executed. The switching unit switches a position of the stapling unit among a plurality of positions. The notifying unit provides notification of a placement position of the recording material in the processing tray corresponding to each of the plurality of positions.

A sheet type discrimination device includes a holder that holds a sheet, a conveyor that conveys a sheet from the holder along a conveyance path, a measurer that measures a basis weight of the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path, a storage that stores a type discrimination table describing a relationship between the basis weight and a type of a sheet, and a hardware processor that sets the type of the sheet held in the holder on the basis of the basis weight measured by the measurer.

According to an example, an apparatus may include an automatic document feeder, printing components, an externally accessible embedded finishing mechanism, an illumination source to direct attention to the embedded finishing mechanism, and a controller. The controller may determine whether a certain condition has been met pertaining to media sheets fed into the automatic document feeder or printed by the printing components, and in response to a determination that the certain condition has been met, may activate the illumination source.

A recording apparatus includes a lower unit having a recording section configured to perform recording on a medium, and an upper unit disposed on the lower unit, the upper unit including a reading section configured to read an image of the document, in which the lower unit includes a medium discharge section configured to discharge the medium toward the rear of the apparatus, and a medium receiving section disposed on the apparatus rear side with respect to the medium discharge section, the medium receiving section being configured to receive the medium discharged, and the upper unit is shorter than the lower unit in the apparatus front-rear direction and the upper unit is closer to the apparatus front with respect to the lower unit such that an end portion of the medium receiving section in the medium discharging direction is exposed at the rear of the upper unit.

In accordance with an embodiment, a sheet removal determination system has a first detection device to detect a sheet discharged to a discharge port; a second detection device to detect a terminal device positioned within a communication enabled range of the second detection device; and a controller to determine whether or not a user is authorized user based on user information acquired from the terminal device detected by the second detection device, determine that the sheet has been improperly removed if the user is not the authorized user and the second detection device detects the terminal device and a quantity of the sheets is less than that of the sheets before detection after the sheet is detected by the first detection device, and detect the terminal device again with the second detection device if the second detection device detects the terminal device and a quantity of the sheets is increasing than that of the sheets before detection after the sheet is detected by the first detection device.

A recording device 11 includes a device main body 20 including a recording section 25; a placement tray 21 on which a medium M is configured to be placed; and a cassette 22 provided below the recording section 25 and the placement tray 21 and configured to accommodate a medium M. The device main body 20 includes a first path 41 configured to feed medium M placed on the placement tray 21 to the recording section 25 and further to transport the recorded medium and a second path 42 configured to transport medium placed on the placement tray 21 to the cassette 22.

An information processing apparatus that transmits a print job to an image forming apparatus configured to start print processing upon receiving a print job even in a state where a post-processing device corresponding to post-processing designated in the print job is not mounted on a post-processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus is configured to receive information about the post-processing device from the image forming apparatus, transmit based on the received information the print job to the image forming apparatus when determining that the post-processing device corresponding to the post-processing designated in the print job is mounted on the post-processing apparatus, and not to transmit the print job to the image forming apparatus when determining that the post-processing device corresponding to the post-processing designated in the print job is not mounted on the post-processing apparatus.
