Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. The private server processes the requests using the policy and a ledger to determine whether to allow the print job to the printing device.

Abstract: An image formation air blowing device includes an outlet and an airflow control portion. The outlet blows out an airflow toward a target space on a discharge table to which a sheet with an image formed thereon by an image forming portion is discharged. The airflow control portion controls a direction of the airflow at least in a horizontal plane in the target space.

Abstract: A color printing system manages ICC profiles by controlling ink use without performing the ICC profile creation operations. To obtain an ink limit for an ICC profile, a table associated with the ICC profile is parsed to determine the ink limit. The ink limit is decreased or increased. For an ink limit decrease, a color over the decreased ink limit is adjusted to meet the new ink limit. The ICC profile is updated accordingly. For an ink limit increase, the combination of primary colors are boosted by a percentage amount. Checks are made with regard to the volume-based ink limit and an quality check operation to accepted the boosted amount. The ICC profile is updated accordingly.

Abstract: An image scanning device scans one or plural document images of one or plural predetermined head pages, and a preview processing unit performs preview display of the document image(s) of the head page(s). After detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display, the image scanning device scans a document image of a subsequent page to the head page(s), and the image processing unit performs the image process for the document image of the subsequent page. Further, the image processing unit performs a part or whole of the image process for the document image(s) of the head page(s) before the preview display. If a part of the image process is displayed before the preview display, the image processing unit performs a remaining part of the image process after detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display.

Abstract: A policy-based system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. The policy-based system also determines whether scanning operations for a document are allowed for a public scan service using remaining credit values and the policy. The public scan service is cloud-based and includes a public server to interact with printing devices through the cloud-based service.

Abstract: A belt inspection system to detect a belt defect of an intermediate transfer belt of an image forming apparatus using a first belt image obtained by photographing the intermediate transfer belt, performs a preprocessing on the first belt image to generate a second belt image, detects a candidate for the belt defect from the second belt image, and performs, in the preprocessing, a noise removal processing to remove a specific noise included in the first belt image, the specific noise including a noise caused by the photographing, a noise of a specific size based on an average size of the belt defect, and a band-shaped or streak-shaped noise extending in the width direction of the intermediate transfer belt.

Abstract: When on a display device a closed state where the display device is folded is detected by an opening/closing detecting device, a controller allows at least one icon or button to be displayed on a screen of a display. When an open state where the display device is opened in a flat configuration is detected by the opening/closing detecting device, the controller changes the icon or button in shape or size on the screen of the display.

The heating section (90) includes a heater (HT), a first heat sensitive body (SM11), and a second heat sensitive body (SM21). The second heat sensitive body (SM21) differs from the first heat sensitive body (SM11). The heater (HT) has a first heater portion (AE1). The first heater portion (AE1) is one end portion of a pair of end portions of the heater (HT) in a longitudinal direction thereof. The first heat sensitive body (SM11) and the second heat sensitive body (SM21) face the first heater portion (AE1) and are aligned in a conveyance direction (DC) of a sheet (S).
