A transmitting apparatus includes a communication interface that transmits data according to a transmission job, and a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories. The controller is configured to set a setting of outputting of a transmission report indicating a transmission result of the transmission job as a device setting of the apparatus, set the setting of outputting of the transmission report as a setting of the transmission job, and set whether or not to accept the setting of outputting of the transmission report of the transmission job as the device setting of the apparatus.

An image processing apparatus includes a processing section and a control section configured to instruct operation of the processing section. The control section executes, before sending, to the processing section, a first instruction corresponding to an instruction that caused an error in the past, an error avoidance operation based on instruction history information and operation state history information acquired from a storing section that stores the instruction history information and the operation state history information, the instruction history information indicating an instruction given to the processing section by the control section, the operation state history information indicating an operation state of the processing section caused by the instruction.

The recording device includes an upstream transport roller pair capable of transporting a medium, a recording head configured to record an image by discharging ink at a predetermined timing on the medium transported downstream in a Dl direction by a predetermined transport amount by the upstream transport roller pair while moving in a Y-axis direction intersecting the D1 direction, an image capturing unit configured to read the image recorded on the medium by the recording head, and a control unit, wherein the control unit has a function of performing maintenance for a discharge failure of the ink, a correction of the transport amount, and a correction of the discharge timing of the ink based on the reading result of the image read by the image capturing unit.

A sustainable floating and land application community based on a mass-produced modular, pre-fabricated kit of parts referred to as floating modular units (FMU) or land module units (LMU). Both modular units are designed to allow for various needs while remaining simple to deliver and assemble by hand in remote destinations prone to volatile shifts in water levels and currents. Both floating and land module units can be erected for use on land and bodies of water.

An image forming apparatus includes a wireless tag communication device to write data to, and read data from, a wireless tag attached to a sheet. An image forming device in the apparatus is configured to form an image on the sheet. A controller in the apparatus is configured to determine whether a writing of data to a wireless tag was successful based on a notification from the wireless tag communication device and generate investigation support information if the writing was not successful and control the image forming device to form an investigation support image corresponding to the investigation support information if the writing was not successful.

Disclosed here is a system enabling users/customers to receive an objective assessment of the performance of a printer. This is accomplished by comparing a quality score of an earlier-in-time image with a quality score of a later-in-time image. A processor analyzes each image based on several criteria and uses various image-analysis methods, to flag errors within an image. A numeric quality score, based on the number of errors, is provided to the user to objectively evaluate whether the printer has degraded or not. Thus, the user can objectively present an argument to a salesperson or manufacturer that the user is due a remedy.

A management system includes: a management server; one or more image forming apparatuses that notify the management server of information on a remaining amount of toner; and one or more terminals, in which the management server makes a toner remaining amount history by combining the information on the remaining amount of toner with time and date information, detects, based on the toner remaining amount history, that toner replacement has been performed when an increase rate of the remaining amount of toner exceeds a threshold value, and determines, based on the contract value, whether the remaining amount of toner before the toner replacement is not more than the contract value when the toner replacement is detected, and notifies the one or more terminals of that the performed toner replacement corresponds to a contract violation when the remaining amount of toner before the toner replacement is more than the contract value.

A conveyance apparatus includes a separation unit configured to separate and convey a sheet, a detection unit configured to detect a height-direction deformation of the sheet passing through the separation unit on a downstream side than a sheet-conveying position of the separation unit in a conveyance direction of the sheet, and a control unit configured to stop the sheet conveyed by the separation unit if the detection unit detects the deformation of the sheet.

A system includes a printing apparatus, and a printhead including a printing element. The printing apparatus includes a data transmission unit configured to transmit, to the printhead, a clock signal of a predetermined period and a data signal. The printhead includes a reception unit configured to receive the clock signal and the data signal, and an information transmission unit configured to transmit, to the printing apparatus, information concerning a reception result of the reception unit. When the data transmission unit transmits control data of the printing element as the data signal, a first period is set as the predetermined period. When the data transmission unit transmits, as the data signal, connection confirmation data for confirming connection of the printhead to the printing apparatus, a second period longer than the first period is set as the predetermined period.
