Abstract: An image forming apparatus has an image forming unit to form a toner image on a first sheet and a fixing unit configured to heat the first sheet to fix the image to the first sheet. A control unit begins a cooling process for cooling the fixing unit when an overheating condition is met, then permits the image forming unit to form a toner image on a second sheet after the cooling process ends according to a first cooling condition if a person is detected near the image forming apparatus or after the cooling process ends according to a second cooling condition if a person not detected near the image forming apparatus. The cooling process under the first cooling condition ends in less time than under the second cooling condition.

Abstract: A sheet conveying device in an embodiment includes a first roller unit, a first conveyance path, a guide mechanism, and a control section. The first roller unit rotates and conveys a sheet. The first conveyance path conveys the sheet to the first roller unit. The guide mechanism is disposed along the first conveyance path and guides the conveyance of the sheet. The guide mechanism is capable of changing a conveyance path width. The control section sets the conveyance path width at a time when a leading end of the sheet passes a first position of the guide mechanism to first width. The control section sets the conveyance path width at a time when a trailing end of the sheet passes the first position to second width smaller than the first width.

Abstract: A distributed computer system includes a central server, a computing device of a user, and point-of-sale terminals. The central server is configured to assign a global user ID to a user and store, in association with the global user ID and local user IDs. The computing device is configured to generate and display a code symbol representing at least one user ID. A point-of-sale terminal is configured to scan the displayed code symbol and code symbols of merchandise being purchased, and generate transaction information. A local server is configured to transfer the transaction information from the terminal to the central server. When the transaction information includes a local user ID, a point total of the user is updated based on the transaction information and transmitted to the computing device. The central server stores the transaction information, which is received from the local server, in association with the global user ID.

Abstract: A point-of-sale device includes an interface unit for acquiring a recognition result that is a recognition of a product based on a captured image of the product, a user input unit for receiving user operations, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute a registering process for a sales transaction based on the acquired recognition result, cause a display screen to display a list of each product registered in the sales transaction, and receive a change operation via the user input unit to change a registered product on the list. The processor adds information corresponding to the change operation to the displayed list and then receives a transaction termination operation from the user input unit, the termination operation indicating an end of the registering process. After receiving the termination operation, the processor sends a change notification to a clerk terminal.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processor, an image forming unit, a radio communication unit, a receiving unit, and a shielding member. The processor controls supply and ejection of a medium with a radio tag, which is to be housed in a housing unit. The image forming unit forms an image in the supplied medium. The radio communication unit transmits a radio wave for writing information to the radio tag of the supplied medium. The receiving unit receives the ejected medium. The shielding member is formed in a part of the receiving unit and shields radio waves transmitted from the radio communication unit.
