    Abstract: A sheet sorting device includes three or more trays including a predetermined tray detachable from an apparatus main body and a tray different from the predetermined tray, a discharge unit to discharge a sheet to any one of the three or more trays, a control unit, and a tray detection unit to detect that the predetermined tray is detached from the apparatus main body. The control unit sets a sheet discharge destination such that a sheet conforming to a preset condition is discharged to the predetermined tray through the discharge unit. Where the tray detection unit detects that the predetermined tray is detached from the apparatus main body, the control unit sets a sheet discharge destination that has been set to the predetermined tray to the tray different from the predetermined tray based on a state of each of the trays other than the detached predetermined tray.

    Abstract: An apparatus is capable of switching between a mode in which a first resistance heating element and a second resistance heating element are connected in series and a mode in which they are connected in parallel. When a temperature increase rate detected by a temperature detection unit is smaller than a threshold rate although a current detected by a current detection unit is greater than a threshold current, a notification of a failure is issued.

    Abstract: A first authentication apparatus obtains a modification restriction parameter which is stored in a second authentication apparatus and which indicates a number of times a mutual authentication pair modification is possible or a number of times modification has been executed. The first authentication apparatus transmits to the second authentication apparatus authentication information corresponding to the modification restriction parameter. The second authentication receives the authentication information from the first authentication apparatus. The second authentication apparatus determines whether or not the received authentication information is authentication information for permitting the mutual authentication pair modification. In a case where the received authentication information is authentication information that permits the mutual authentication pair modification, the second authentication apparatus and the first authentication apparatus form a mutual authentication pair.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus may comprise a first feeding unit, a second feeding unit, a feeding control unit, an image forming unit, a reversal unit, a post-processing unit, and a post-processing control unit. Based on a post-processing time amount notified from the post-processing control unit, the feeding control unit does not allow a sheet to wait in the reversal unit and adjusts a feed time of a sheet fed from the first feeding unit so that the sheet fed from the first feeding unit does not contact with a sheet waiting in the second feeding unit.

    Abstract: A state change of a status occurred during a communication interrupted state is stored as a state change status. Thus, a video controller 102 can recognize the change of the status during a period when communication between the video controller 102 and an engine control unit 103 is interrupted, based on the state change status.
