Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a developing current detecting portion, a control portion, and a deviation detecting portion. The developing current detecting portion detects a developing current that flows between a developing device and a photoconductor drum during development of an electrostatic latent image. The control portion causes the exposure device to form electrostatic latent images of at least two patch images at different positions from each other and at different timings from each other in a main scanning direction. The deviation detecting portion detects deviation of one of the exposure device and the photoconductor drum with respect to the other based on a detection timing at which the developing current is detected during development of the electrostatic latent images of the at least two patch images.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus that draws a cross-section to be trimmed. The data position acquisition unit acquires the print data and the position of the cut line trimmed after printing with the print data. The cross-section drawing unit draws, for each page of the print data, a fragment text and/or image visible on trimmed cross-section from the position of the cut line acquired by the data position acquisition unit to a specific range. At this time, the cross-section drawing unit may draw the fragment when the print data has equal or greater than a specific number of pages. Further, the cross-section drawing unit may adjust drawing of the fragment according to thickness of recording paper to be printed.

Abstract: A sheet post-processing apparatus (1) includes a processing tray (5), a sheet discharge port (7), a conveyance rollers pair (4), lower and upper discharge rollers (81), (82) and a discharge tray (9). When the sheet having a folded portion is stacked on the processing tray (5) with the folded portion downward, a controller rotates the lower and upper discharge rollers (81), (82) to advance the folded portion to the sheet discharge port (7), stops the lower discharge roller (81) before the folded portion passes the sheet discharge port (7), rotates the conveyance rollers pair (4) and the upper discharge roller (82) so as to convey the rear half portion to the downstream side until the sheet passes the conveyance rollers pair (4) and to form a deflection on the sheet, rotates the lower and upper conveyance rollers (81), (82) and then to stack the sheet on the processing tray (5).

Abstract: A printing system includes a digital front end (DFE) system connected to a plurality of printing devices. The DFE system manages printing operations to the plurality of printing devices. The DFE system also includes a printing device connectivity manager to manage connections with the printing devices. Printing connectivity modules are installed at the printing device connectivity manager using application programming interfaces (APIs) that are loaded at the creation of the printing connectivity modules. The APIs allow the printing connectivity modules to interact with the printing devices. The printing connectivity modules can communicate with application modules located at the printing devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate generally to performing a machine learning task on training documents to generate an output. In an example method, a pretrained Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representational Transformers (“S-BERT”) model is obtained. The training documents are scanned by a plurality of scanners. Content of the training documents is recognized with character recognition. The content is templated responsive to the character recognition. The content is processed with the pretrained S-BERT model for training thereof. A trained S-BERT model is generated from the processing of the content as the output. The trained S-BERT model is configured to automatically categorize and assemble non-training documents into original configurations thereof.
