An image reading apparatus includes a housing; a transparent plate that is provided in an opening formed in an upper part of the housing and on which an original is placed; an image reading unit that is disposed inside the housing and that scans in a main scanning direction while moving in a sub-scanning direction to read an image of the original placed on the transparent plate; a flexible flat cable having one end that is connected to a control board on which an electronic component that is configured to process the image read by the image reading unit is mounted and the other end that is connected to the image reading unit, the flexible flat cable being configured to electrically connect the image reading unit and the control board, the flexible flat cable being disposed such that a width direction of the flexible flat cable crosses a surface of the transparent plate, the flexible flat cable being partially fixed to a side wall of the housing facing the image reading unit in the main scanning direction; and a holding portion configured to hold a part of the flexible flat cable, the holding portion holding the part between a part fixed to the side wall and the other end, of the flexible flat cable, the holding portion being formed on an end face of the image reading unit in the sub-scanning direction, wherein the holding portion holds the flexible flat cable such that a distance in the main scanning direction between a position at which the holding portion holds a lower end of the flexible flat cable in the width direction and the side wall is longer than a distance in the main scanning direction between a position at which the holding portion holds an upper end of the flexible flat cable in the width direction and the side wall.

An image forming system capable of improving the usability of an interactive agent function. The image forming system receives voice input thereto as an instruction related to execution of a job. The image forming system executes a job based on settings indicated by voice input thereto, and in a case where a specific word is included in the input voice, the image forming system executes the job based on a plurality of types of settings registered in advance in association with the specific word.

A system and method for maintenance and supplying of a fleet of multifunction peripheral devices includes two or more networked devices including a decision engine. Devices discover one another and one device is designated as a server. The server creates a virtual lobby accessible by other devices and its decision engine is enabled. The server invites other devices into its virtual lobby, and these devices join the lobby in response. Devices provide their device state information to the lobby. The enabled decision engine generates recommendations for consumable replenishment, device servicing or device configuration, relaying the recommendations to a system administrator's tablet or smartphone. The administrator may accept, reject, modify or implement received suggestions. Consumable supplies or servicing recommendations can be done automatically if enabled. Administrator actions are fed back to the server for machine learning to improve future suggestions.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit acquires electronic data, and a display control unit that in a case where there is a page meeting a predetermined condition in the electronic data, performs control to display a thumbnail of the page.

An image processing apparatus including a transmission function for transmitting an image sets whether to permit use of a destination not previously registered. The image processing apparatus also receives, from an external apparatus, data including at least a destination field. The image processing apparatus sets the transmission destination based on destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set permitting use of a previously un-registered destination and does not set the transmission destination based on the destination information included in the destination field of the received data upon a condition that a setting is set prohibiting use of a previously un-registered destination.

An image forming apparatus includes: a reception part that receives specification of a print mode and specification of a sheet type to be used for printing; a sheet supply part that sends a sheet to a sheet conveyance path; a detection part that detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path; and a hardware processor that controls a printing operation, wherein when a sheet type received by the reception part is a type for which printing in the print mode received by the reception part is allowed, the sheet supply part sends a sheet to the sheet conveyance path, the hardware processor determines whether or not the print mode received by the reception part is a prohibition mode, when it is determined that the print mode is the prohibition mode, the detection part detects a type of a sheet sent to the sheet conveyance path.

A file processing system includes an information processing apparatus, a terminal apparatus that has a process instructing function for directly transmitting a file to be processed to the information processing apparatus and executing a process, by a user, and a server that is connected to the terminal apparatus and the information processing apparatus through a network, in which the terminal apparatus includes a file transmitting unit that transmits a file to the server, in a case where the process instructing function is not capable of being used due to a failure of communication with the information processing apparatuses, and the file processing system further includes a transfer control unit that controls transfer of the file transmitted to the server, to the information processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus includes a process control unit that controls a process of the file acquired from the terminal apparatus through the server, in a case where the process instructing function is not capable of being used due to the failure of communication with the information processing apparatuses.

A non-transitory recording medium for an information processing apparatus having a computer program that, when executed by a hardware circuitry of the information processing apparatus, causes the information processing apparatus to request an image forming apparatus to print a document by executing steps of receiving a position of a specific color area which is printed with a specific color; and sending information of the specific color area including the received position of the specific color area and data of the document to the image forming apparatus.

An image recording apparatus includes a feed tray configured to accommodate a sheet-shaped medium, the sheet-shaped medium including at least one of a first sheet-shaped medium or a second sheet-shaped medium, and a recording device configured to record an image on the sheet-shaped medium fed from the feed tray. The feed tray includes a first accommodation portion configured to accommodate a roll, in which the first sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape, a second accommodation portion configured to accommodate a plurality of the second sheet-shaped media in a stacked state, and a display portion that displays setting information on setting of the sheet-shaped medium.
