    Abstract: An image processing system includes an image forming device, a sensor, and processing circuitry. The image forming device forms an image on a first conveyance medium. The sensor acquires information about the image formed on the first conveyance medium by the image forming device. The processing circuitry performs ejection control to eject a second conveyance medium according to predetermined setting information in a case where the image formed on the first conveyance medium is a defective image, based on the information acquired by the sensor.

    Abstract: An object is to enable management work such as maintenance of parts of a printing apparatus in an integrated manner. An apparatus according to the present disclosure obtains: first condition information indicating a condition of a constituent part of a printing apparatus, specified based on a life of the part; and second condition information indicating a condition of the part specified based on a scanned image obtained by reading a print medium on which an image has been formed by the printing apparatus. The apparatus further generates a display image representing the condition of the part indicated by the first condition information and the condition of the part indicated by the second condition information, and outputs a signal representing the display image.

    Abstract: A conductive sheet that is configured to be stacked between a sheet tray of an image forming device and a sheet. The conductive sheet includes a base layer and a regulator. The base layer comprises a conductive material. The base layer is configured to be stacked between the sheet tray and the sheet so that the conductive material overlaps with a wireless tag of the sheet. The regulator is configured to regulate conveyance of the conductive sheet by the image forming device when the conductive sheet is stacked between the sheet tray and the sheet so that the conductive material overlaps with the wireless tag of the sheet.

    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a first reading unit, a first guide portion, a second reading unit, and a second guide portion. The second reading unit includes a rectangular transparent member, an optical reading unit, a housing, a first and a second contact portions, a first and a second pressing members, and a protruding portion. The first and the second contact portions are protruding from a facing surface of the housing. The protruding portion, when viewed from an upstream side in a conveyance direction of a recording material passing through a conveyance path between the second reading unit and the second guide portion, is disposed between the first contact portion and the second contact portion and protruding from the facing surface of the housing, a protruding amount of the protruding portion being smaller than protruding amounts of the first and the second contact portions.
