    摘要: Provided is an image forming apparatus that can correct variation in printing agent residual quantity and can extend the period being able to support full color printing based on original image data. A printing agent residual quantity detecting part detects printing agent residual quantity. A color scheme selection tendency management part manages an amount of the printing agent. A remaining number calculation part computes printable number of sheets for each color. Adjustment request screen generating part generates, when variation of the printable number of sheets for each color is greater than or equals to a fixed quantity, a printing agent using amount adjustment requesting screen for accepting the conversion condition to correct the variation. An image processing part performs color balance conversion of the image data. A printing part prints the image data performed the color balance conversion.

    摘要: The printing system includes a handwritten character data extraction unit, a sample character data retrieval unit, a determination unit, a character practice worksheet creating unit, and a print control unit. The determination unit determines whether the matching ratio between a handwritten character extracted by the handwritten character data extraction unit and a sample character retrieved by the sample character data retrieval unit is equal to a first ratio or lower. If the determination unit determines that the matching ratio is equal to the first ratio or lower, the character practice worksheet creating unit creates a character practice worksheet containing the sample character that matches the handwritten character and a blank cell for handwriting practice formed next to the sample character. The print control unit controls the printing unit to print the character practice worksheet created by the character practice worksheet creating unit on paper.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes an image-data acquiring unit, a character recognition processing unit, and a monochrome conversion unit. The image-data acquiring unit acquires image data representing an image including a character. The character recognition processing unit performs a character recognition process on the image data to extract a character region. The character region is a region where the character is represented. The monochrome conversion unit converts the image data into monochrome image data when the image data is color image data including a color image. The monochrome image data includes a monochrome image representing the color image with a single color. When a tone difference between the extracted character region and an adjacent region is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the monochrome conversion unit changes a tone of a boundary region between the character region and the adjacent region adjacent to the character region.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a receiving section, a distance acquiring section, an arrival time calculating section, an execution order determining section, and a printing section. The distance acquiring section acquires a distance between a user and the image forming apparatus. The arrival time calculating section calculates a travel speed of the user based on variation per unit time in the distance acquired by the distance acquiring section and calculates an arrival time indicating an amount of time it will take for the user to arrive at the image forming apparatus based on the calculated travel speed and the acquired distance. The execution order determining section determines, an order of execution of print jobs based on the arrival times calculated by the arrival time calculation section. The printing section then executes the print jobs in the execution order determined by the execution order determining section.
