  • Publication number: 20240103432
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where, during image formation using any of the image forming units among the image forming units, in a case where a consumable of any of the image forming sections of the image forming unit is insufficient, an image forming section of an identical color to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient is present in another image forming unit, and a storage medium for storing management information for managing a consumable unit is not provided in the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient, ask a user whether or not to exchange the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient and a consum

  • Publication number: 20240085826
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which the processor is configured to, in a case where a printing instruction is received in a state in which an image forming section having a combination of identical colors is set for each of the plural image forming units, execute the printing instruction by using an image forming unit that is in a state in which image formation is able to be executed among the plural image forming units.

  • Patent number: 9731778
    Abstract: A front straightening portion is formed at a front portion of a main body portion of a spat. In the front straightening portion, a front inclined surface is inclined backward with respect to a vehicle with decrease in distance to a lower side of the vehicle in a lateral view, and front lateral surfaces extend forward with respect to the vehicle from both end portions of the front inclined surface in a vehicle width direction, respectively. A traveling wind that hits the front lateral surfaces flows toward the front inclined surface side, and is caused to flow out downward with respect to the vehicle from the front straightening portion together with a traveling wind. The flow velocities of the traveling winds increase, the air resistance of the vehicle can be reduced, operation stability of the vehicle can be enhanced, and riding comfort performance of the vehicle can be enhanced.
