Abstract: A display device (100) includes a receiving section (12), a registering section (2112), a display section (11), an identifying section (2111), and a changing section (212). The receiving section (12) receives selection of a label from a user. The registering section (2112) registers the label and a format set in association with each other. The format set includes format items to be embodied in a character display format and format contents each indicating a content of a corresponding one of the format items. The display section (11) displays a character string including a first character. The identifying section (211) identifies the first character. The changing section (212) changes the character display format of the first character based on the format set associated with the label.

Abstract: A toner conveying device includes a case storing toner; a conveyance member rotatably supported at both ends by the case, including a spiral blade extending along a rotational axis, and configured to rotate to convey the toner inside the case in a predetermined conveying direction; and a pushing member pushed against an outer peripheral portion of the conveyance member in a first direction intersecting with the rotational axis and configured to slide on the outer peripheral portion as the conveyance member rotates. The pushing member is composed of a flexible sheet member and includes a base portion secured at a securing position inside the case and protruding pieces aligned along the rotational axis and protruding from the base portion toward the conveyance member to abut on the outer peripheral portion. An alignment interval between the protruding pieces is different from a pitch of the spiral blade along the rotational axis.

Abstract: Conveyance modes include a registration mode accompanied with skew correction and a registrationless mode unaccompanied with skew correction. When a jam occurs, the controller interrupts a job, and invokes blank-feed processing starting from a state with all sheets re-set. On invoking blank-feed processing, the controller checks the conveyance mode and recognizes the number of jams. If the conveyance mode is the registration mode and in addition the number of jams has not reached a threshold number of jams, the controller invokes blank-feed processing in the registrationless mode.

Abstract: An information processing system includes an image reading device and an information processing device. The image reading device reads a document to generate target image data. The information processing device processes the target image data. The information processing device includes a first conversion processing section, a second conversion processing section, and a selection section. The first conversion processing section is capable of converting image data to character code data. The second conversion processing section is capable of converting image data to character code data. The selection section selects conversion of the target image data to character code data by the first conversion processing section or the second conversion processing section.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a toner supplying portion including a first attachment portion; and a waste toner collecting portion including a second attachment portion. A toner container includes a positioning member and a compatible key. The first attachment portion includes a first engaging portion configured to position the toner container to a first attachment position. The second attachment portion includes a second engaging portion configured to position the toner container to a second attachment position. The first engaging portion and the positioning member are formed in a shape that allows the toner container of a type corresponding to the first attachment portion to be selectively attached to the first attachment portion. The second engaging portion is formed in a shape that allows the positioning member to be engaged with a toner container of any one of a plurality of types.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a charger, an exposure device, a development device and a pressing mechanism. When a developer carrier and the image carrier are rotated in a state where a film is held in a development nip area and then a pulling force of the film is measured, a maximum value MAX, a minimum value MIN, and an average value X of the pulling force satisfy the expressions (1) and (2). When a development voltage applied to the developer carrier is set to Vdc, the surface potential of the image carrier is set to V0, and the surface potential of the image carrier after exposure is set to VL, the expressions (3) and (4) are satisfied. X≤MAX≤1.5X  (1), 0.5X≤MIN≤X  (2), V0−Vdc≥2(Vdc−VL)  (3) and Vdc−VL≥100  (4).

Abstract: A color management system for a printing system includes a fleet color management service that manages color calibration for printing devices. Calibration target print jobs are sent to the printing devices within a group. The calibration target print jobs are measured to capture color printing data. The measured data is uploaded to the fleet color management service, which determines color printing parameters for the group, including an aggregate maximum end point target. The fleet color management service generates a tone reproduction curve for all of the printing devices based on the color printing parameters. Validation of the color printing capabilities are performed using a validation set of the printing devices to determine the validation set printing devices can meet the aggregate maximum end point target.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel and a control device. The control device functions as a determiner and a controller. The determiner determines, with a plurality of fields displayed on a screen of the display panel, whether or not an entire software keyboard is displayable without overlap with the plurality of fields on the screen of the display panel. The controller allows for, when the determiner determines that the entire software keyboard is displayable without overlap, display of the software keyboard without overlap with the plurality of fields or allows for, when the determiner determines that the entire software keyboard is not displayable without overlap, display of the software keyboard in a split form or display of the software keyboard in a partial form composed only of a portion of the software keyboard in a region of the screen out of the plurality of fields.
