Abstract: A guide position adjustment device includes upstream side guide members and downstream side guide members arranged in order starting from the upstream side in the sheet traveling direction. Each of the upstream side guide members and each of the downstream side guide members are mounted in pairs on the right and left sides of a folder gluer. The guide position adjustment device includes an outlet side guide moving mechanism, which is mounted on a folding guide device provided with a frame moving mechanism for translating, by a first actuator, a supporting frame that supports the upstream side guide members and the downstream side guide members, in the device width direction perpendicular to the sheet traveling direction. The outlet side guide moving mechanism moves, by a second actuator, an outlet side tip end regulation part of the upstream side guide members relative to the supporting frame in the device width direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for editing a document containing a plurality of pages each of which includes one or more first objects is provided. The apparatus includes: an adding portion that adds a second object to each of the pages; an extraction portion that extracts, from the pages, a possible improper page that is a page to which the second object is probably not added properly, the possible improper page being extracted for each cause due to which the second object is not added properly; a quantity display portion that displays, for each cause, a quantity of the possible improper page thus extracted; an excluding portion that excludes, from the possible improper page, a selected page that is a page corresponding to the cause selected by a user; and an informing portion that informs the user of a to-be-confirmed page corresponding to the possible improper page remaining after excluding the selected page.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus for printing an original image indicated based on image data is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a paper feed portion that conveys, to a print position, paper having a size in a feed direction larger than a size of the original image, a region selection portion that selects, as an additional image, a band-shaped region that has a predetermined width and extends inwardly from an edge of the original image in a direction corresponding to the feed direction of the paper, and an image correction portion that adds the additional image repeatedly in such a manner that the additional image is placed adjacent to each other outwardly from the edge of the original image. A corrected image obtained by adding the additional image with the image correction portion is printed onto the paper.

Abstract: A control apparatus obtains information identifying sheets stored in an MFP to be caused to perform printing for printing a printed object to be subjected to jacketed book binding, wherein this information is stored in the MFP. The control apparatus stores thicknesses of respective paper sheets as information about paper sheets. From this information and from the information obtained from the MFP, the control apparatus creates a table indicative of the correspondence between the respective paper sheets stored in the MFP and their thicknesses. Further, on receiving a selection of paper sheets to be used for printing for the printed object and a number of these paper sheets, the control apparatus determines a thickness of each paper sheet by making a reference to the table and calculates the spine jacket width by multiplying the thickness by the number of paper sheets.

Abstract: A processing order determining apparatus for managing delivery deadlines of jobs includes: a setting portion to set, for each of the jobs, two or more process steps, a process step order according to which the two or more process steps are to be executed, operators who are in charge of the respective process steps, and a delivery deadline; a remaining period calculating portion to calculate a remaining period for each of the jobs, on the basis of a period up to the delivery deadline and an expected processing period which is a sum of processing times for uncompleted process steps included therein; a job allocating portion to allocate each of the jobs to an operator who is in charge of a first uncompleted process step included therein; and a processing order determining portion to determine, for each operator, the order of one or more process target jobs in each of which the operator is in charge of a first uncompleted process step, the order being set in ascending order of the remaining period calculated for

Abstract: A digital camera obtains a plurality of images by performing divided exposure of the CCD image sensor, and generates a shot image of the subject by composing the images. When divided exposure is performed, preset one mode is identified from among an image quality priority mode and a shooting speed priority mode. Then, by dividing the set exposure time at the time of shooting by the number of divisions defined by the identified mode, divided exposure control of the CCD image sensor is performed. The number of divisions in the image quality priority mode is larger than that in the shooting speed priority mode.
