Abstract:
A controller (80) of an image forming apparatus (1) performs a printing permission process in a case that mode information indicates a contract mode and an actual print sheet number is less than an upper limit when the controller receives a print job even in a case that a sum of a specific print sheet number and the actual print sheet number is greater than the upper limit. The printing permission process permits printing for the specific sheet number.
Abstract:
Examples of the present disclosure relate to printing apparatus, waste containers for printing apparatus, and methods for determining a condition of a waste container. An example printing apparatus comprises a waste container with a wick to change appearance upon contact with waste print fluid, the wick projecting a length into the waste container and being at least partly visible through the top cover, and a sensor mounted on a displaceable carriage to be selectively positioned above the waste container to read the visible part of the wick.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that perform notification of disaster prevention information in an appropriate notification mode. An MFP (100) functioning as the image forming apparatus includes a radio reception unit (202) configured to receive the disaster prevention information including information indicating an importance level of a content from a transmitting station (600), a printing unit (205) configured to perform image formation on a predetermined sheet, and a UI unit (206) configured to perform notification of the disaster prevention information. The MFP (100) recognizes the importance level of the disaster prevention information received by the radio reception unit (202) and causes the UI unit (206) to perform the notification of the disaster prevention information in a notification mode in accordance with the recognized importance level. The MFP (100) also causes the printing unit (205) to print and output a predetermined image in accordance with the recognized importance level.
