Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured in which an area to be processed in a document is specified using a position of a marker placed on a surface of the document. When the marker is placed, the processor uses a placement position of the marker to specify the area to be processed and register area information indicating the area to be processed. When the marker is not placed and the area information is registered, the processor executes predetermined processing with respect to the area to be processed that is indicated by the area information. When the marker is not placed and the area information is not registered, if the area information is registered after a predetermined area of the document is registered as a target, the processor specifies the area to be processed as indicated by the area information as the area to be targeted by the processing.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a post-processor including a sheet detection circuit detecting a sheet inserted in a sheet insertion opening for manual stapling, a staple mechanism executing stapling processing on the sheet, and a drive circuit actuating the staple mechanism; a post-processing controller operating the drive circuit in response to detection of the sheet; a power circuit supplying power to the drive circuit and another circuit in the apparatus; and a power saving controller shutting off a power supply from the power circuit to the drive circuit and the other circuit and shifting from a normal mode to a power saving mode when a shifting condition is satisfied. Prior to shifting, the power saving controller checks the post-processing controller whether the stapling processing is currently executed, and, when the stapling processing is not currently executed, instructs prohibition of the stapling processing and shifts to the power saving mode.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed for a double-feed detector with neural network classifier. These includes accepting pages of a print-based media substrate into a scanning device with a paper feed device, back-illuminating the pages using a light source, capturing a page image of back-illuminated pages using an image capture device, detecting noise patterns exhibited by the page image using an image processor, classifying detected noise patterns using a noise pattern classifier, and determining, using classified detected noise patterns and a neural network controller for a neural network model, whether the at least one page is a sheet stack (at least two pages stacked together and passing through the paper feed device concurrently) based on the classified detected noise patterns. On condition a sheet stack is detected, a sheet stack detected signal triggers taking an action.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an output unit, a light source, and a processor. The image forming unit creates a printed material by forming an image on paper. The output unit outputs the printed material to an output tray. The light source is provided such that lit light is viewable from outside the image forming apparatus. The processor is configured to receive a print job for creating the printed material by the image forming unit, and perform control such that the light source is lit in a first lighting pattern in a case where a printed material of a print job for a single user has been output to the output tray and the light source is lit in a second lighting pattern in a case where printed materials of print jobs for multiple users have been output to the output tray.

Abstract: Certain methods of processing media by a media processing device are described. An example media processing device has an input comprising a sensor for detecting media therein. The media processing device processes a first item of media. The media processing device detects a second item of media at the input and is arranged to conditionally control the media processing device. In one example, the media processing device processes a second item of media according to a first set of settings for the first item of media. In another example, the media processing device ejects the first item of media.
