Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises an image reading section, a size detection section, and a reading controller. The image reading section reads image information of a reading object. The size detection section detects a size of the reading object. The reading controller has a first mode in which the image reading section reads the image information of the reading object at the size detected by the size detection section and a second mode in which the image reading section reads the image information of the reading object at a maximum size at which the image reading section can read the reading object as operation modes, and generates image information of the size detected by the size detection section based on the image information read by the image reading section if the second mode is selected.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus comprises a first reading section; a second reading section; a conveyance section which conveys the sheet sequentially to the first reading section and the second reading section; a control section which executes a first storage operation of storing image data read by the first reading section in a storage section and a second storage operation of storing image data read by the second reading section in the storage section, determines whether the reading operations of the first reading section and the second reading section, the first and the second storage operations are ended normally and deletes, if any one of the operations is not ended normally, the image data of the sheet not scanned normally stored in the storage section.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a tray, first sensors configured to acquire information related to a maximum size of sheets placed on the tray, a scanner configured to generate first image data for each of the sheets conveyed from the tray based on the maximum size, a sheet conveyor configured to convey the sheets placed on the tray toward the scanner, second sensors configured to acquire information related to an actual size of each of the sheets conveyed by the sheet conveyor, and a controller. The controller converts for each of the sheets having an actual size that is different from the maximum size, the first image data stored in a first memory region into second image data based on the maximum size and the actual size of the sheet, and stores the second image data in a second memory region which is different from the first memory region.

Abstract: In a case where both a division management function which counts the number of pages printed for each division and a color management function which counts the only number of chromatically printed pages for each division are valid, an image forming device executes monochromatic printing even if a division to which a user belongs who has requested the printing is not determined, and executes color printing after the division to which the user belongs who has requested the printing is determined. Furthermore, the image forming device counts the number of monochromatically printed pages by a division undefined counter which is not associated with a specific division, and counts the number of chromatically printed pages by a division counter corresponding to the division to which the user belongs who has requested the printing.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a data collecting unit configured to collect, every time each kind of processing of the apparatus is executed by a task, information related to the processing and store the information in a volatile memory, an error detecting unit configured to detect an error during the processing, a determining unit configured to determine whether the error detected by the error detecting unit is an investigation target error, a target-information selecting unit configured to select, if the determining unit determines that the error is the investigation target error, storage target information out of information for investigation stored in the volatile memory including individual information representing processing content for each of tasks and common information representing processing contents among plural tasks, and a storing unit configured to store the target information in the nonvolatile memory.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus include: a supply source that supplies image data formed in page units; a blank-paper detecting unit that discriminates whether the image data includes a blank page; an image forming unit that removes the blank page in the image data and forms an image on the basis of the image data other than the blank page; and a counter that counts a total number of pages of the image data supplied from the supply source and counts the number of valid pages obtained by excluding the blank page from the total number of pages. The image forming apparatus performs charging on the basis of a count value of the number of valid pages and displays the total number of pages and the number of the blank pages on a display unit using an output of the counter such that the total number of pages and the number of the blank pages can be compared.
