    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a registration unit that registers a speed license for setting an image forming speed, and an image forming unit that performs image formation at an image forming speed corresponding to the speed license registered by the registration unit. In addition, a control unit permits the image formation by the image forming unit in a case where the speed license is registered by the registration unit, and permits the image formation by the image forming unit in a case where an operation mode of the image forming apparatus is a predetermined mode different from a normal operation mode if the speed license is unregistered by the registration unit.

    摘要: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of performing appropriate processing wider a predetermined usage agreement. To this end, the information processing apparatus stores state information indicating whether the information processing apparatus is in a first state in which a predetermined service is unavailable or a second state in which the predetermined service is available. Moreover, the information processing apparatus communicates with a server and updates the stored state information based on the predetermined agreement information obtained from the server. In the case where the stored state information indicates the second state at a timing at which the information processing apparatus is reactivated or recovers from a power-saving mode, the information processing apparatus performs the processing of communicating with the server and updating the state information and the preparation processing for starting predetermined processing according to a received job in parallel.

    摘要: Upon receiving an occupation request command from an information processing apparatus, a control device performs an occupation control to set a specified supply portion as an occupied supply portion from when an occupation establishment event occurs to when an occupation release event occurs. When a multiple use request state occurs by receiving, from other information processing apparatuses, the 2nd and onward occupation request commands that specify the occupied supply portion as specified supply portions, and after the occupation control ends, the control device executes the occupation control for each of the 2nd and onward occupation request commands in an order in which the 2nd and onward occupation request commands were received.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus has a plurality of functions and permits setting an operating condition for each of the functions. The image forming apparatus includes: an operating portion used for operation of selecting each of the functions and setting the operating condition; an image processor that performs an image processing in a manner that depends on a function selected and an operating condition set at the operating portion; and a controller that controls the operating portion and the image processor. If one of the functions is selected at the operating portion and a setting is determined on a predetermined operating condition that is settable within the selected function, the controller prohibits the selected function from being changed to another function.

    摘要: An audio input system includes an audio input apparatus and a plurality of electronic devices. The audio input apparatus includes an audio input unit, a start instruction accepting unit, and an instruction transmitter. The plurality of electronic devices includes a first electronic device. The first electronic device is a target of a process execution instruction based on the audio input by the audio input unit among the instructions. The instruction transmitter transmits a process reducing instruction for reducing an execution of a process as the instruction to the plurality of electronic devices, when an input sound volume of a microphone exceeds a specific sound volume. The audio input unit starts the audio input when the input sound volume of the microphone is equal to or less than the specific sound volume. The instruction transmitter transmits the process execution instruction to the first electronic device.

    摘要: An image forming device, includes: a body that processes a print job and discharges a printing sheet; a post-processing device that may be connected or detached from the body, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor performs: determining whether or not a sheet type indicated by the print job may be post-processed by the post-processing device; guiding a user to detach the post-processing device from the body when the sheet type indicated by the print job may not be post-processed by the post-processing device; detecting a distance between the post-processing device and the body when the post-processing device is detached from the body; and allowing a processing of print job when the detected distance is greater than an interval that enables the processing of the print job if the sheet type indicated by the print job may not be post-processed by the post-processing device.
