An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a determination result of a state of a user, who has given a transmission job execution instruction, determined based on biological information of the user; and a job control unit configured to control an execution of the transmission job according to the user state determination result, wherein when it is determined that the user is in an off-normal state, the job control unit executes a confirmation request process to request the user to make a confirmation related to the transmission job.

A movement control device configured to determine whether the moving unit moved by a driving unit is in a stopped state at a position before a predetermined target stop position, and whether a difference between the detection position and the target stop position is equal to or smaller than a threshold difference, based on a detection position of the moving unit, after the moving unit starts deceleration operation, and switch a control of the driving unit to a position control based on the difference between the detection position and the target stop position, from a speed control based on a designated speed associated with the detection position to the target stop position, if the moving unit is in the stopped state at a position before the predetermined target stop position, and the difference is equal to or smaller than the threshold difference.

An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device having a fixing belt assembly including a heater, a fixing belt, a heater temperature sensor, and a belt temperature sensor, and a pressure roller; a drive current sensor; and a life information acquisition portion. The heater temperature sensor detects the temperature of the heater. The belt temperature sensor detects the temperature of the fixing belt. The pressure roller presses against the fixing belt. The drive current sensor detects a drive current of a drive motor that drives the pressure roller. The life information acquisition portion acquires life information of the fixing belt assembly. A controller selects a failure prediction processing mode based on the detection result of the drive current sensor and selects a driving method based on the detection results of the temperature sensors and the acquisition result of the life information acquisition portion in each mode.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a transfer medium on the basis of image data, a feeder that feeds the transfer medium, and a control unit that manages image data and controls the image forming unit and the feeder. In a case where a base image and an overprint image are printed by the same image forming apparatus, the control unit can manage first image data of the base image and second image data of the overprint image by associating the data with each other, and when a jam of the transfer medium is detected during output of an overprint image, the control unit causes a transfer medium to which the base image is output by the image forming apparatus to be replenished for print instead of a jammed transfer medium removed by jam processing.

A printing apparatus, having a plurality of heads, a plurality of head controlling circuits, a master transmitter, and a determining unit, is provided. The head controlling circuits are connected to the heads in one-to-one correspondence and are connected with one another serially. Each head controlling circuit controls a corresponding one of the heads to record a part of the image based on master data. The master transmitter transmits the master data to a most upstream one of the head controlling circuits. The head controlling circuits are configured to pass the master data received by the most upstream one of the head controlling circuits serially downstream onto a most downstream one of the head controlling circuits, and generate differential data indicating a difference between the master data and read data generated by reading an image. The determining unit determines whether the image contains a defect based on the differential data.
