Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a print management program causing a computer to function as a retrieval unit that retrieves information about first functions of an image forming device and information about second functions of plural second devices; and a determination unit that determines whether the second functions of the second devices can process a print job, when the first functions of the image forming device cannot process the print job. Here, the image forming device and the second devices are connected to a print system including the computer. When the determination unit determines that the second functions of the second devices cannot process the print job, the print management program constrains the second functions of the second devices from being utilized.

Abstract: An information processor, a method of information processing and a program storing medium that ensure radio data communication by further accurately showing wave condition to a user. A field intensity level showing screen to be displayed in plural levels that is finer than a portable communication terminal unit is generated based on a field intensity signal showing the field intensity level of the portable communication terminal unit that will be supplied via connecting means connected to the portable communication terminal unit, and the above field intensity level showing screen is displayed on display means. Thereby, the user can further correctly recognize the communicating condition of the portable communication terminal unit. Thus, if the user performs data communication when the wave condition is stable, the data communication can be surely executed in the stable communication environment in which the line is never disconnected.

Abstract: A rotation restricting structure of an automobile door mirror, in which a shaft is erected on the top surface of a projection portion of a mirror base, and in which a frame for supporting a mirror body is turnably fitted onto the shaft, wherein a stopper member for restricting a turning angle by engaging with the frame is provided between the frame and the shaft. The stopper member includes a projection, which is formed on the shaft base portion in such a way as to be integral therewith, and an angle adjusting plate provided separately from the projection. The adjusting plate having a thickness corresponding to a folding angle of the door mirror is attached to each or one of both the opposite side surfaces of the projection. Thus, even when the folding angle of the mirror body is changed, the frame and the shaft can be used in common among the door mirrors. Moreover, the strength of the stopper can be increased.

Abstract: In a device for detecting mirror position, there is provided a resistor substrate being located coaxially with a nut adjuster for adjusting an angle of incline of a mirror, and a contact member so as to nip the resistor substrate. The contact member slides in line corresponding to the movement of the nut adjuster while the resistor substrate is fixed to a housing. Thus, as the nut adjuster slides, the contact member slides against the resistor substrate, which results the change of a contact position of the contact member and a long resistance R1. Consequently, since a voltage level generated at the contact member changes, the angle of incline of the mirror can be determined by detecting this voltage level. Inasmuch as the contact member and the resistor substrate are housed within a sliding block, there is no need for much space to locate the various parts in, and thus the whole device can be configured in a compact manner.
