Abstract: A nonvolatile memory control device performs data reading/writing control on partitions of a rewritable nonvolatile semiconductor memory. The device includes an erase cycle counting unit, a read cycle counting unit, a data reading/writing unit and a control unit. The erase cycle counting unit counts the number of erase cycles in total per partition. The read cycle counting unit counts the number of read cycles that same data is read per partition. When the number of erase cycles of a first partition is equal to or larger than a predetermined number of erase cycles, and a second partition having a smaller number of erase cycles and a larger number of read cycles than the first partition is present, the control unit controls the data reading/writing unit to exchange data in the first partition and data in the second partition.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to the present invention causes an image forming portion to perform image forming processing based on a security job issued by an output-permitted user, in a case where an outsider-use-possibility calculated by an outsider-use-possibility calculation portion becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value on the basis of information of a movement trajectory of the output-permitted user and also the output-permitted user has been detected in an output-process-start area. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the convenience for the output-permitted user while ensuring the security of the output product based on the security job issued by the user.

Abstract: When other user is using an image forming apparatus before an output-permitted user having issued a security job reaches the image forming apparatus, security is lowered and also it takes some time until processing of security job is completed. The image forming apparatus notifies the output-permitted user of information indicating that other user is using the image forming apparatus in a case where the other user present near the image forming apparatus (own apparatus) is using the image forming apparatus. With this arrangement, the output-permitted user can know whether or not the other user is using the image forming apparatus before the output-permitted user reaches the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus forming toner images sequentially on recording sheets transported at intervals, and thermally fixing the toner images by passing the recording sheets through a fixing position on a heating roller. The target fixing temperature is determined according to information of an image on each page. When a first fixing temperature for a given page is higher than a second fixing temperature for the succeeding page and the difference therebetween is greater than a predefined value, part or all of a first period, during which the thermal fixing operation for the given page is performed, and a second period, which corresponds to an interval between the two pages, are reserved for raising the surface temperature by the difference, and temperature control is performed during the reserved periods such that the surface temperature reaches the second temperature before the thermal fixing operation for the succeeding page starts.

Abstract: An electronic document managing apparatus for managing an electronic document includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor obtains the electronic document and manages an approval state of the obtained electronic document. In response to receiving an instruction to output the electronic document, the hardware processor refers to the approval state. The hardware processor permits the output of an approved electronic document only when all of a predesignated approver has approved the electronic document, the approved electronic document being the electronic document bearing a seal image of all of the approver. The hardware processor does not permit the output of the electronic document bearing any of the seal image when any of the approver has not approved the electronic document yet.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section to form a toner image and transfer the toner image to a recording medium and a fixing section to heat the recording medium transferred with the toner image and further an image analyzing section to extract a density value or a size value of an imaging object included in an image, and a temperature determining section to determine a minimum fixing temperature based on the density value or size value of the imaging object included in a page image. The temperature determining section determines the minimum fixing temperature to be lower when a highest one of the density values is lower than when the highest value is higher or determines the minimum fixing temperature to be lower when a largest one of the size values is smaller than when the largest size value is larger.
