Abstract: An image forming apparatus, includes: a storage storing authentication information on a user; a setter setting, for each user, an authentication requirement for the authentication information; an authenticator authenticating the user based on the authentication information; and a determiner performing determination as to whether the authentication information on a user authenticated by the authenticator satisfies the authentication requirement corresponding to the user.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes: a job executor which executes a job according to a mode; a storage which stores, as history information, a setting history of the job; a display which allows a reception image, which receives an instruction to call the history information that has been stored, to be displayed; and a controller which performs, during execution of the job, display control of the reception image according to the mode.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image reading unit. When printing a postcard is selected, a preview screen including a preview image about an image on a communication side of the postcard read by the image reacting unit is displayed on a display. At this occasion, an instruction image indicating an orientation of an address side of the postcard is also displayed. When it is instructed to turn over the preview image on the communication side, the preview screen including the preview image on the address side is displayed on the display. When the orientation of the address side and the orientation of the communication side do not coincide with each other, or when they are not as intended by a user, printing is performed after the image on the communication side is rotated according to the user's operation.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a job executor, a storage, and a controller. The job executor executes a job related to image processing. The storage stores therein a setting value related to the execution of the job as setting history. The controller controls the storing of the setting value into the storage. The controller restricts the setting value from being stored if the setting value meets definition of a specific setting value.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image former that selectively executes the same type of image formation in different modes, start key for each of the modes that receives a job start instruction for that mode of image formation, and an operation panel on which the start keys are arranged. One of the start keys and another of the start keys are arranged obliquely rather than vertically or horizontally when a user directly faces the operation panel.
