Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a storage portion, a mechanism control portion, and a main control portion. The storage portion stores information as to the apparatus. The mechanism control portion controls the operation of a mechanical system in the apparatus. The main control portion performs a job related to a function of the apparatus by controlling the operation of individual constituent elements of the apparatus, and on detecting an error that prevents continuation of the operation of the mechanical system included in the job being performed, feeds the mechanism control portion with an instruction to interrupt the control of the operation of the mechanical system, stores in the storage portion uncompleted data of the job corresponding to the operation of the mechanism control portion left uncompleted as a result of the interruption, reboots itself, and restarts the job by using the uncompleted data.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage portion, a communication portion, a mechanism control portion, and a main control portion. The storage portion stores various kinds of information as to the image forming apparatus. The communication portion exchanges data and instructions with another image forming apparatus. The mechanism control portion controls operation of a mechanical system in the image forming apparatus. The main control portion performs a job related to a function of the image forming apparatus by controlling operation of constituent elements including the mechanism control portion in the image forming apparatus, and transmits an instruction to make the other image forming apparatus perform the job via the communication portion if, on detecting an error, the main control portion determines that only the main control portion has been rebooted based on a specific error of the image forming apparatus that is same as the error previously in the job.

Abstract: In absence of a paper feed source matching paper information specified in settings that are input by a user for a job to be executed, permission information associated with the user may not permit use of a manual feed tray as a substitute paper feed source. Upon completion of the job executed in response to selection of a forced execution key, a forced execution determination section determines whether or not an execution number exceeds a predetermined threshold. The execution number indicates how many times a job has been executed in response to selection of the forced execution key. When the execution number exceeds the threshold, a permission information updating section updates the permission information associated with the user so as to permit use of the manual feed tray as the substitute paper feed source.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus (1) includes an image forming section (6), a plurality of recording paper trays (7a to 7n), storage (5), and a paper feed stage selecting section (12). The image forming section (6) performs advanced printing based on a paper profile. The paper feed stage selecting section (12) selects a recording paper tray (7) from the recording paper trays (7a to 7n) from which recording paper is to be fed to the image forming section (6) based on a printing instruction. When a specific paper profile is not associated with the selected recording paper tray (7), the paper feed stage selecting section (12) notifies the image forming section (6) of a manual setting and causes the image forming section (6) to perform simple printing.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a medium storing part storing mediums, a sheet feeding part feeding the medium from the medium storing part, an image forming part forming an image to the medium, a residual quantity detecting part, a storage part, and a residual medium estimating part. The residual quantity detecting part detects a residual quantity of the mediums stored in the medium storing part as a relative residual quantity with regard to a maximum storing quantity of the mediums in the medium storing part. The storage part stores maximum storing number of the mediums corresponding to the maximum storing quantity of the medium storing part. The residual medium estimating part calculates number of estimated residuals of the mediums stored in the medium storing part on the basis of the relative residual quantity detected by the residual quantity detecting part and the maximum storing number stored in the storage part.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head, a reading device, and a controller. The recording head ejects ink to form a sample image on a sheet. The reading device reads the sample image to generate read image data. The controller determines a start timing of reading processing by which the reading device reads the sample image. The controller causes the reading device to start the reading processing at the start timing. The controller determines a drive condition of the recording head based on the read image data.
