Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a read image resulting from reading a recording medium where a diagnostic image to be used to diagnose an image forming apparatus is formed; acquire, from the read image, an image read portion of the recording medium from which the diagnostic image is read and one specific portion of a non-formation read portion, the non-formation read portion resulting from reading a non-formation portion of the recording medium where the diagnostic image is not formed; and output the image read portion and the one specific portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium includes: an image former that forms an image on a recording medium and is capable of forming an image for diagnosis, which is an image used for diagnosis of the image forming apparatus; an image reader that reads the image for diagnosis formed on a recording medium; and a processor configured to change at least one of a reading condition under which the image reader reads the image for diagnosis and a processing condition under which a read image obtained by the reading is processed in accordance with a mode of diagnosis of the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: A display device includes a display order determiner, a display, and an image rewriter. The display order determiner determines a display order of a plurality of images. The display sequentially changes and displays the plurality of images according to the display order determined by the display order determiner. The image rewriter rewrites at least part of the image displayed on the display to change the image displayed on the display to the image in the next display order. Thus, the image displayed on the display is changed to the image in the next display order. The display order determiner determines the display order based on a rewriting cost required by the image rewriter when changing the plurality of images.

Abstract: Provided is a mold release agent composition containing a polymer ester, the composition exerting a good mold releasability even when the temperature of mold increases, and a die casting method using the composition.
