A sheet conveyance apparatus comprises a first sheet accommodation unit, a second sheet accommodation unit, a conveyance path and a controller. The first sheet accommodation unit and the second sheet accommodation unit are both provided with a movable guide plate which determines the size of an accommodated sheet. The conveyance path conveys a sheet between the first sheet accommodation unit and the second sheet accommodation unit. The controller carries out a control processing so as to change, in a case in which the accommodation size of the first sheet accommodation unit is changed, the accommodation size of the second sheet accommodation unit to be the same as that of the first sheet accommodation unit.

A light irradiation apparatus includes an irradiation unit including a light source to emit light to a process-target object, a light source driving circuit to drive the light source, a light source controller to control the light source driving circuit to change a light output level of the light source, and a light spot controller to control energy or energy density of a beam spot of the light on the process-target object depending on an operation mode, and a transition mode that one operation mode is being changed to another mode. The light spot controller sets the energy or energy density during the transition mode lower compared to either of the energy or energy density during the one operation mode before the transition mode and the energy or energy density during the another mode after the transition mode.

A drawing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a light source section and a scanning section. The light source section generates a plurality of laser light beams having wavelengths that are different from each other and each correspond to an absorption wavelength of a photothermal conversion agent included in a recording medium. The scanning section scans a surface of the recording medium with the plurality of laser light beams in a state in which irradiation spots of the plurality of laser light beams are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in a direction orthogonal to or obliquely intersecting with a scanning direction of the plurality of laser light beams.

A data protector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a data layer configured to record confidential information as a visible image; and one or a plurality of cover layers disposed at least one of above or below the data layer and configured to transition between a color-developed state and a decolored state in a visible wavelength region.

A laser printhead assembly for a laser printhead is disclosed herein. The laser printhead assembly may include a laser containment door; and a laser containment housing that is configured to form a sealed enclosure with a label support of a label. The sealed enclosure may be configured to include the label and the laser printhead. The laser containment door, in a laser-enabled position, may be configured to permit the laser printhead, via a light beam, to modify the label and the laser containment door, in a laser-disabled position, may be configured to prevent a light beam from escaping the laser containment housing.
