Abstract: The advantage of the invention is to prevent the efficiency of printing from being deteriorated due to execution of an authentication process during a print process by arranging an authentication process not to be conducted during a print process. The multi-purpose device is connected to the authentication switch through the LAN. The authentication switch conducts an authentication process of a device connected to the LAN, and disconnects a connection between the device and the network in a case where the device cannot be authenticated. The multi-purpose device has the authentication requesting section that requests the authentication process with respect to the authentication switch; and the printing mechanism that prints print data. In a case where the printing mechanism conducts the print process, the authentication requesting section requests the authentication process before the printing mechanism starts the print process.

Abstract: A thickness of a tapered part provided at the deeper side (?X side) in a light guide direction of a light transmission member is smaller toward the deeper side, and thus, a reflection angle of ghost light that has passed through a fourth reflection surface provided with a half mirror layer and reached the light transmission member gradually becomes smaller within the tapered part and no longer satisfies a total reflection condition, and the light is ejected to the outside in the position diverging from an eye of an observer. That is, the tapered part may prevent the ghost light from reaching the eye and good see-through observation can be realized.
