Abstract: The amount of achromatic toner used is reduced without decreasing adhesive force. A printer apparatus derives the densities of chromatic toner corresponding to the tone values of image data in the cyan, magenta and yellow format, and derives a total density by adding up the respective densities of the chromatic toner of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Then, the apparatus compares a threshold density such as 100% or 60% with the total density of the chromatic toner of cyan, magenta, and yellow. When the total density is higher than the threshold density, the apparatus sets the density of achromatic toner to 0. When the total density of the chromatic toner of cyan, magenta, and yellow is not higher than the threshold density, the apparatus sets the density of the achromatic toner to a value acquired by subtracting the total density from the threshold density.

Abstract: When a predetermined image switching operation is started, a control section refers to a judgment result as to whether a display portion specified in advance by a touch operation has been identified as a search target. If no display portion has been identified, the control section performs display control in response to the predetermined image switching operation such that images sequentially selected in a forward or reverse direction from a stored image group of images arranged according to a predetermined criterion are displayed on a display section. If a display portion has been identified as a search target, the control section performs display control such that a relevant search condition is acquired with reference to a search condition table based on the search target, the stored image group is searched for another image other than an image being displayed based on the search condition, and the found image is displayed.

Abstract: When an arithmetic operation is performed on an inequality, a solution notation pattern composed of a combination of a symbol and an inequality sign symbol is determined on the basis of an expression, a solution, and an inequality sign symbol. With Line I/O being set as the calculation result display mode, the solution notation pattern data, for example, [A?X?B], is displayed in the upper part of a display unit. The values of the solutions [X1] [X2] corresponding to the symbols [A] [B] shown in the pattern data are displayed as [A=X1] [B=X2] in the lower part of the display unit. This makes it possible to display the solution of the inequality in an easy-to-understand manner.
