In some examples, a supply component for a printing device includes a memory device comprising a plurality of corrective data to produce a corresponding plurality of color tables each customized for a respective media type of a plurality of media types, wherein a respective corrective data of the plurality of corrective data corresponds to nodes of a reference color table for the printing device that is able to accept the plurality of media types for printing. The respective corrective data includes a plurality of residual values to transform the nodes of the reference color table to a customized color table for use with a selected media type of the plurality of media types.

In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.

A feeding apparatus includes a measurement unit measuring an attribute of a sheet fed by a feeding unit to obtain an attribute value; a notification control unit making a notification of information representing sheet types in accordance with the attribute value obtained by the measurement unit; a selection unit accepting selection of a sheet type after the notification; a setting unit setting the sheet type selected by the selection unit as a type of the sheet; a history storage unit storing history information serving as information of sheet types accepted once by the selection unit; and a reference storage unit storing reference information serving as reference attribute values. The notification of the information represents the sheet types in a notification order decided based on the reference attribute values stored in the history information and the attribute value obtained by the measurement unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores computer-readable instructions executable by a processor of an information processing device. The instructions support a general-purpose printing program incorporated in an operating system of the information processing device. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing device to obtain, from a printer, main body information about sheet characteristics for each feed tray of the printer, obtain, after print settings are changed via a print setting screen displayed using the general-purpose printing program, the changed print settings from the general-purpose printing program, generate, based on the main body information, notification data including sheet information indicating the sheet characteristics for a feed tray set in the changed print settings, and provide the notification data to the general-purpose printing program, thereby enabling the notification data to be displayed on the print setting screen.

An image forming device includes: a print engine to form an image on a medium, a sensor to irradiate light onto the medium and to detect an amount of light transmitted through the medium, and a processor to control the print engine based on the detected transmitted light amount and temperature data.

An image formation system includes an image forming apparatus and an inserter. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a conveyance device, and a control device. The control device functions as a controller and an executor. The controller allows the inserter to insert an interleaving paper between sheets of printed material at an insertion start timing specified by a print job. When the plurality of calibrations include a second calibration capable of being completed within an interleaving paper insertion time required to insert the interleaving paper or a third calibration capable of being completed within a total time of the interleaving paper insertion time and a predetermined additional time, the executor executes the second calibration or the third calibration in time with the insertion start timing.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain characteristic values including smoothness and basis weight of a recording medium; and identify the type of the recording medium on the basis of the smoothness and the basis weight.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device and circuitry. The image forming device forms an image on a recording medium, based on an image forming condition. The circuitry determines a position of the image formed on the recording medium by the image forming device, based on a detection signal of a pattern formed on the recording medium by the image forming device and reference position information of the pattern on the recording medium. The circuitry determines a reference position of the pattern differently depending on the image forming condition.

An image reading apparatus which is capable of preventing occurrence of a paper jam and poor stacking during conveyance of originals. The image reading apparatus sets a type of an original, conveys the original based on the set type of the original, and reads an image on the conveyed original. An original detecting sensor detects placement of the original on an original tray. An LCD touch panel displays an object for setting a type of the original in response to the detection by the original detecting sensor.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations. Four sides of a document included in captured image data are detected. Lengths of the detected four sides of the document are calculated. The operations further include determining which of a plurality of predefined paper sizes corresponds to the document based on the calculated lengths of the four sides. The determined corresponding paper size is set as a document size of the document.
