Abstract: A liquid container includes a box and a flexible bag accommodated in the box. The flexible bag contains a liquid and has a first end fixed at the box and a second end opposite to the first end and biased in a direction away from the first end by an elastic member. The box has two parts that are telescopically movable relative to one another and are biased apart by the elastic member. The bag is held at one of these parts with its first end and at the other of these parts with its second end.

Abstract: A method for assigning an identification to at least one sheet to be removed from an input holder of an image reproduction apparatus includes the steps of detecting a trigger of removal of the at least one sheet from the input holder; and upon detection of the trigger, retrieving characteristics of the at least one sheet and printing an identification sheet comprising the retrieved characteristics for addition on top of the at least one sheet after removal of the at least one sheet from the input holder. An image reproduction apparatus is configured to execute the method.

Abstract: A portable terminal for presenting status data of a plurality of devices in a proximate environment, wherein the portable terminal includes a display for displaying operating status data of anyone of the devices and a means for selecting anyone of these devices. The portable terminal contains an array of objects representing individual devices being at least partially displayed on the display and movable along a marker, or vice versa, in response to an operator actuating an operating element. The display image is so configured that the array of objects or the marker appears to be an integral part of the operating element.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the operating status of a plurality of image processing devices located in a proximate environment, which includes at least one transmitter connected to the plurality of image processing devices for sending wireless signals incorporating operating status data of each of the image processing devices and a portable terminal provided with a receiver for receiving the wireless signals. The portable terminal is provided with a display and with a presentation module for presenting data for each of the image processing devices in the form of either a general system status indication or a device status indication regarding a particular image processing device, in accordance with a predetermined presentation scheme. The general system status indication is primarily intended for confirming that all devices are in order, and is automatically replaced by a device status indication regarding a particular device, when that device needs attention.
