Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to an image forming unit and a reading unit is provided. The apparatus generates image data based on document data described in a page description language, encodes the document data to be multiplexed on the image data, outputs the image data to the image forming unit, restores the multiplexed document data from the image data read by the reading unit, and saves the image data read by the reading unit and the document data restored by a restoration unit.

Abstract: If a correction unit corrects a conversion unit configured to convert a color gamut of input image data into a color gamut of a device configured to output the image data, a generation unit generates image data having undergone color gamut conversion from the input image data using the corrected conversion unit. In the image data having undergone the color gamut conversion by the corrected conversion unit, a color difference in the image data having undergone the color gamut conversion by the conversion unit is expanded.

Abstract: Fixing holes are formed around an opening of a housing. Holding members are each inserted into a corresponding fixing hole and are fixed to the housing by swaging. Two or more holding members are each provided with a corresponding protrusion member. Fitting holes and first insertion holes are formed around a central opening of a packing and the protrusion members are each fitted into a corresponding fitting holes. The packing is attached to the housing by fitting each of the protrusion members into the corresponding fitting hole. Fastening members are each inserted through a corresponding first insertion hole and a corresponding second insertion hole formed in a cover and are inserted into and fixed to holding members other than the above-described two or more holding members, so that the cover is attached to the housing.

Abstract: The remaining amounts of inks in tanks are obtained, and, based on the obtained results, whether direction for printing an image next is to be inverted with respect to a set direction. This can reduce a difference in ink remaining amount between the tanks corresponding to print heads.
