    Abstract: A print image generation unit is configured to perform a first rasterization process for printing and thereby generate print image data, and perform a second rasterization process for inspection and thereby generate reference image data, on the basis of a print request. A print unit is configured to perform printing based on the print image data onto a print paper sheet and thereby produce a print product. An image scanning unit is configured to perform image scanning of the print product and thereby generate scan image data. An inspection processing unit is configured to compare the scan image data and the reference image data and thereby perform inspection of the printed matter. Further, the second rasterization process is a rasterization process performed in a rendering condition different from a rendering condition of the first rasterization process.

    Abstract: A print image generation unit performs a first rasterization process for printing and thereby generates print image data. A print unit performs printing based on the print image data and thereby produces a print product. An image scanning unit performs image scanning of the print product and thereby generates scan image data. Further, the print image generation unit performs a second rasterization process for inspection and generates reference image data of plural reference images that have plural slant angles in a predetermined range, respectively; and an inspection processing unit determines a skew angle of the scan image data, selects a reference image corresponding to the slant angle among the plural reference images, and compares the reference image data of the selected reference image and the scan image data and thereby performs inspection of the print product.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a remote operation executor, a support information manager, a display controller, a determiner, and an editor. The remote operation executor executes remote operation that receives the operation support from an operator terminal. The support information manager causes a support information storage to store operation procedure data as support information, the operation procedure data indicating a series of operations operated in accordance with the remote operation. The determiner determines whether the operation procedure data that the support information stored in the support information storage indicates is up to date. The editor, when the operation procedure data is not up to date, edits the operation procedure data stored in the support information storage to up to date.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a remote operation executor, a support information manager, and a display controller. The remote operation executor executes remote operation that receives the operation support from an operator terminal. The support information manager obtains support information from a support information storage, the support information storage storing, as the support information, operation procedure data indicating a series of operation inputted at the operator terminal. The display controller displays on the display an operation procedure indicated by the operation procedure data included in the support information obtained by the support information manager.

    Abstract: The multifunctional peripheral includes a download control unit, a determination unit, a storage control unit, a display screen data generation unit, and a display control unit. The determination unit determines whether or not data downloaded by the download control unit contains printable file data. If the determination unit determines that the data contains printable file data, the storage control unit performs control so as to extract the printable file data and store the printable file data in the cache memory. The display screen data generation unit generates display screen data to be displayed on the display screen. The display screen data is a list of the file data stored in the storage unit by the storage control unit. The display control unit performs control so as to display the display screen data, which is generated by the display screen data generation unit, on the display screen.

    Abstract: An image formation device includes a document box, an operating section, a version check control section, a document data update control section, and a print control section. When receiving a select operation, the version check control section determines whether or not a selected piece of document data has been updated on an external server. If the selected data has been updated on the external server, the document data update control section downloads an updated piece of document data from the external server and updates the piece of document data in the document box. When receiving a print instruction operation, the print control section causes printing based on the piece of document data already stored in the document box if the selected piece of document data has not been updated or causes printing based on the updated piece of document data if the selected piece of document data has been updated.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation panel, a printing device, a storage device, a job management unit, a power-saving mode setting unit, and an operation mode control unit. The power-saving mode setting unit that: (a) specifies the job log where the start time point of the job execution belongs to an identical time slot in a past for a predetermined time slot; and (b1) sets the power-saving mode for the predetermined time slot to the first power-saving mode when a proportion of the number of the executing jobs where the job types of the specified job log belong to the first job type group to the number of the executing jobs where the job types of the specified job log belong to the first job type group or the second job type group exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
