    摘要: A packaging member (100) has a pair of holding portions (230) folded from opposite edges of each of a pair of first wall portions (210); the pair of holding portions (230) have an opposed portion (230a) opposed to a second wall portion (220), and an insertion piece (231); the second wall portion (220) has a wall-portion slit (221); and by inserting the insertion piece (231) in the wall-portion slit (221), the first wall portions (210) and the second wall portion (220) are held in a standing state.

    摘要: A processor derives a plurality of unit density values which are each an average value of sensed densities for each of a plurality of unit areas sectioned for each unit length in a test toner image. The processor derives a weighted average of the plurality of unit density values to derive a test image density used for adjusting a control parameter in a printing portion. The unit length is a greatest common factor of two target lengths corresponding to perimeters of two types of target rotating members out of the plurality of rotating members. When a number of the plurality of unit areas is represented by n, n is a value obtained by subtracting 1 from an added value of a first constant and a second constant. The first constant and the second constant are values obtained by respectively dividing the two target lengths by the unit length.

    摘要: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head including a plurality of nozzles for ejecting ink, a conveyor belt that has a plurality of apertures and conveys recording media one by one, a control unit, an ink receiver, and a pipe-shaped ink discharge flow path. The control unit controls drive of the recording head and the conveyor belt to perform flushing, in which the ink is ejected from the nozzle of the recording head to pass through one of the apertures, at a timing different from a timing contributing to image recording. The ink receiver is disposed to face the recording head sandwiching the conveyor belt therebetween, to receive the ink after passing through the aperture when the flushing is performed. The ink discharge flow path is connected to the ink receiver. When the flushing is performed, a predetermined amount of liquid is stored in the ink receiver.

    摘要: In an authentication device, a controller executes login when a user name and a password are entered through an operation device and the entered password is identical to one of a plurality of fixed passwords previously stored in association with the entered user name on an HDD. When the entered password is identical to none of the plurality of fixed passwords and any one of the plurality of fixed passwords satisfies a predetermined condition on similarity to the entered password, the controller inhibits an authentication based on the fixed password satisfying the predetermined condition from being made for a predetermined period.

    摘要: A peer-to-peer network of printing devices is configured to share printing device information, such as job queue status, configuration information, and resource information for automated load balancing, capability matching, failover, and print splitting operations. A digital front end (DFE) of a printing device establishes connections with the DFEs of other printing devices to manage output within the peer-to-peer network in an automated manner. When a print job is received at a DFE for a printing device, it is evaluated to determine how to best manage the output for the print job.

    摘要: A transfer unit includes a first and a second roller differing in one of the axial length, volume resistivity, and hardness of their elastic layer, a first and a second bearing members rotatably supporting the metal shafts of the first and second rollers, a roller holder, and a switching mechanism. The roller holder has a first and a second bearing holding portion that hold the first and second bearing members slidably. The switching mechanism drives the roller holder to rotate such that one of the first and second rollers is arranged at a reference position at which the first or second roller is kept in pressed contact with an image carrying member to form a transfer nip. The first and second bearing members have grounding member that ground the first and second rollers respectively.
