The operation unit (5) is configured to receive user's operation and supported at a position frontward of the image reading unit (2) by the support housing (10) so as to be rotatable within a predetermined rotation range around a rotation shaft parallel to a right-left direction of the image formation apparatus (100). The information reading unit (6) is configured to read information about the user and housed in the housing side surface (12) so that a part of the information reading unit (6) is present rearward of the operation unit (5) in a first attitude in which a surface of the operation unit (5) is closest to a vertical plane, and a part of the information reading unit (6) is present downward of the operation unit (5) in a second attitude in which the surface of the operation unit (5) is closest to a horizontal plane.

A printing device includes a controller configured to perform: (a) storing identification information and transmission address information in association with each other; (b) acquiring, in response to receiving a print job together with the identification information from an external device, the transmission address information stored in association with the identification information in the (a) storing on the basis of the received identification information; and (c) transmitting the transmission address information acquired in the (b) acquiring to a data processing server so that payment process information is transmitted to a transmission address corresponding to the transmission address information, the payment process information being information to pay a fee charged for performing printing based on the received print job.

A multifunctional peripheral (1) includes a communication part (22), a storage part (21), a free space determination part (25), a confidential document determination part (26), and a storage processing part (27). The free space determination part (25) determines that the storage part (21) contains a free space for storing print data, as a first storage condition. The confidential document determination part (26) determines that the print data is not a confidential document, as a second storage condition. The storage processing part (27) stores the print data in the storage part (21) in association with user information of a user terminal (23) when the first storage condition and the second storage condition are satisfied, and communicates with the user terminal (23) and stores the print data in the user terminal (23) when the first storage condition is not satisfied or when the second storage condition is not satisfied.

An image processing apparatus that prevents erroneous use of paper by enabling registration of user identification of a user who can use a paper feed deck in information about each paper feed deck of the image processing apparatus and controlling paper feeding so that just the user associated with the user identification can use a paper feed deck to which the user identification was added.

A service provision system includes an extraction unit that extracts an associated service corresponding to a user of a service provision apparatus from plural services of the service provision apparatus, a storage control unit that stores, in a storage unit, identification information for identifying a transmitter which is carried by the user and which transmits a wireless signal and information regarding the associated service while associating the identification information and the information regarding the associated service with each other, an obtaining unit that obtains the identification information included in the wireless signal transmitted without requiring the user to perform an operation, and a display control unit that receives, from the storage control unit, the associated service corresponding to the identification information obtained by the obtaining unit and that displays the associated service on a display unit of the service provision apparatus.

A printing system includes a printing unit, an operation unit, and a control unit. The printing unit prints an image on a sheet, conveys the sheet to a reading unit, and performs adjustment for printing an image on the sheet based on an image read by the reading unit. The control unit performs an operation of controlling to execute a manual adjustment function for adjusting predetermined adjustment items based on adjustment values received via the operation unit after authentication of an operator. The control unit performs another operation of controlling to execute an automatic adjustment function for adjusting the predetermined adjustment items based on the image read by the reading unit without the authentication of the operator.

An image forming apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to stop a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of an abnormality preventing the print job from continuing, set the stopped print job to a skip state, and restart the print job set to the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job and not by a second user different from the user associated with the print job.

In an image forming apparatus, a control device functions as a controller and a user presence/absence determiner. When accepting an instruction to execute a print job through a touch panel, the controller controls operations of a sheet feed device, a conveyance device, and an image forming device to allow a document image represented by image data generated by a document reading device to be formed on a sheet to make a printed matter and allow the printed matter to be discharged to a sheet output tray. When the user presence/absence determiner determines that a user is present, the controller controls, before printing for at least a last sheet in the print job, the operations of the sheet feed device and the conveyance device to allow a sheet to be discharged to the sheet output tray without allowing the image forming device to form the document image on the sheet.

According to at least one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor is configured to detect a user. The second sensor is configured to detect a sheet in a sheet holder. The controller is configured to change a transition mode of an operation mode based on a first detection result of the sheet in the sheet holder by the second sensor in response to the detection of the user by the first sensor when the operation mode of the image forming apparatus is a second power-saving mode, which consumes less power than a first power-saving mode.

An image forming apparatus includes: a feed tray that contains printing paper therein; a user authentication unit that authenticates a user who is permitted to print; a paper loading detection unit that detects printing paper loaded into the feed tray; a memory device that stores a user authenticated as a paper-supplementing user; a paper feeding mechanism that feeds the printing paper from the feed tray; a paper jam detection unit that detects a paper jam; and a controller that controls a print job. The controller, when a paper jam has occurred, determines whether or not the paper jam is due to the paper-supplementing user having loaded the printing paper in an improper manner. Upon determining that the paper jam is due to the paper-supplementing user having loaded the printing paper in an improper manner, the controller, subsequently when the paper-supplementing user uses, requests that a loading condition be checked.
