Information processing apparatus information processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing notification to a user of occurrence of a fault

An information processing apparatus includes a sensing unit that senses occurrence of a predetermined fault through one of detection of the occurrence of the fault and prediction of the occurrence of the fault, and a notifying unit that, when the fault is sensed to have occurred by the sensing unit, identifies a user to be notified that the fault is sensed to have occurred from among multiple users registered in advance, and notifies an information processing terminal of the identified user that the fault has occurred.

Image forming apparatus capable of performing recovery printing
10379791 · 2019-08-13 · ·

An image forming apparatus capable of performing recovery printing while avoiding wasteful discarding of printed sheets following a defective sheet. An image is formed on a sheet by an image forming section based on an input job and is inspected. An inserter inserts sheets placed thereon into sheets conveyed from the image forming section. When a defective sheet is detected, the job is interrupted, and the defective sheet and subsequent sheets already printed are discharged to a different destination from a destination of normal sheets. Resuming the interrupted job is instructed by a user, and an image to be printed on the defective sheet is formed on a sheet newly fed from a sheet feeder, and the sheet is discharged to the destination of normal sheets, and sheets placed on the inserter are discharged to the same.

Printer and Medium
20190146730 · 2019-05-16 ·

The disclosure discloses a printer including a CPU that executes a detection process, a first determination process, and a first mode switching process. In the detection process, a type of a storage body is detected. In the first determination process, it is determined on the basis of a detection result whether the type of the storage body attached to the attaching part is a first type in an ordering state associated with insufficiency in quantity or a second type other than the first type. In the first mode switching process a control mode is switched from a normal mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the second type to a medium-saving mode prepared in advance correspondingly to the first type for reducing a consumption amount of the print-receiving medium than the normal mode, in the case that the type is determined as the first type.
