In a maintenance management system in which communications control devices of electronic photocopiers are connected through public telephone lines or the like with a host computer of a maintenance company that manages the photocopiers, preventive-maintenance-oriented, omission-free instructions for maintenance work are obtained by determining items of work to be performed based on how many times maintenance has been performed or based on a count of copies produced. For example, in the case where maintenance work to be performed on a first occasion includes items of work belonging to a work item setting area of a second order of precedence within a maintenance table, if items of work that need to be performed do not agree with those specified in the table, items of work of a first order of precedence are added. To achieve this, based on a count at a moment, a work item setting area in the maintenance table is judged to determine its array number, a maintenance state flag is judged, and the array number is incremented by one, so that instructions of the second order of precedence are indicated. Then, the array number of the area is decremented by one, and the flag is judged to be OFF, so that items of work of first order are added to those of the second order. Next, duplicated items within the same area are deleted, whether replacement is necessary or not is judged, and then it is determined that maintenance on the next occasion includes items of work of the first and second orders of precedence.

In the host computer of a multiple photocopier management system, a maintenance supervising system is provided for supervising maintenance job contents on routinely serviced photocopier components. Stored in the host computer RAM are maintenance tables for retaining in routine maintenance sequences job items for periodic maintenance on the photocopier components. After completing routine maintenance on a photocopier, a service engineer inputs maintenance reporting data which is accepted in job store areas of the RAM. The maintenance reporting data categorizes a maintenance job, in particular as to whether a component has been repaired, and indicates actual job content, component-by-component. The routine maintenance sequences each constitute an order of ranking numbers each assigned to a job item, and the rank order in the sequence is updated according to the ranking number corresponding to the content of the reported job. Based on the maintenance reporting data accepted by the RAM, and on the updated job rank orders in the routine maintenance sequences, the host computer sets job items component-by-component for the next-scheduled routine maintenance from the job items stored in the maintenance tables. The job items for the work due component-by-component in the next scheduled routine maintenance are accordingly displayed.

An imaging device supervision system stores data indicating, for instance, the number of sheets of paper supplied from each paper supply cassette in a copying machine, and/or the number of times the toner has been replenished, and the amount of toner cartridges in stock are stored in a copying machine supervision data base which is constructed, stored and maintained in a storage device, such as a hard drive. The supervision system updates the stock amounts for each size of paper based on the data indicating the number of sheets of paper supplied, and formulates a consumable item delivery plan according to delivery conditions set in a delivery schedule setting screen 91, to reduce the downtime due to stocks of consumable items being exhausted in an imaging device. Further, the amount of toner cartridges in stock are updated by means of the number of times the toner has been replenished, and the stock data are displayed on a status information screen 66.

For an image reproducing system provided with an auto-restoration capability, a monitoring system is disclosed involving display by an image reproducing machine of the system in connection with fault diagnosis and auto-restoration processes by the image reproducing machine. The disclosed monitoring system in particular concerns a network of likewise auto-restoring image reproducing machines in communication with a host computer. The image reproducing machine has machine-condition constant-monitoring sensors through which a main controller of the image reproducing machine detects faults causing operational malfunction. A communication device transmits data indicating operational malfunction in an image reproducing machine from its main controller to the host computer. The main controller prepares and executes an auto-restoration process implementing restorative operations to compensate functionally for the detected faults, and interprets as restorative state data success of implemented restorative operations. A restoration process data storage of the image reproducing system stores data identifying an executed auto-restoration process. The restoration process data and the restorative state data are displayed by an image reproducing system display, which display can be by the host computer, as monitored at a remote service station by a service engineer.

A liquid crystal composition contains liquid crystals containing one kind of or two or more kinds of silicone surfactants, a phenyl-modified silicone oil and water. The liquid crystal composition of the present invention contains 5 to 95% by weight in total of one kind of or two or more kinds of silicone surfactants, 0.1 to 90% by weight of a phenyl-modified silicone oil and 0.1 to 90% by weight of water. The liquid crystal composition of the present invention can solubilize hydrophobic compounds having poor solubility (for example, hydrocarbon oils such as squalane, fatty acids such as oleic acid and lipoic acid and ester oils such as cetyl isooctanoate) and is thus useful, for example, as toiletry materials and cosmetic materials.

摘要:
In a management system in which a plurality of copiers are managed by a host computer, each copier is provided with a device that is connected to the host computer so as to manage the copier. The device can be initialized from the copier without advance registration in the host computer. To achieve this, when a serviceperson, having set up the copier, enters a registration code and executes initialization, the device communicates with the host computer and transmits thereto an initialization report. On receiving the initialization report, the host computer creates a database, and subsequently sets the device using predetermined values in the database and assigns thereto a copier ID number. When communication has been completed without errors, the device returns the copier ID number to the copier. To register the copier, an operator of the host computer opens a screen of a list of non-registered pieces of equipment to be managed in order to select and register the corresponding copier on that screen. Thus, a database is made ready for use in the host computer.
