Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of generating image data according to a setting compliant with PDF/A. A reading unit reads an image of a document and generates image data. A registration unit registers at least one setting value used by the reading unit in generating the image data. A setting unit sets whether to enable or disable a function that prevents a user from setting a setting value that does not comply with a PDF/A standard as a setting value used by the reading unit in generating the image data. And a change unit changes a setting value that does not comply with the PDF/A standard among the at least one setting value registered so as to comply with the PDF/A standard in enabling the function in a state where the registration unit registers the at least one setting value.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that is capable of properly grasping a load that is imposed on the image forming apparatus by performing high-chroma printing. The image forming apparatus includes a printer engine that causes a heating rotary body to support and convey a sheet with a toner image formed thereon and performs an image formation on the sheet. The printer engine is controlled to perform the image formation on sheets in a first mode in which a toner image based on a piece of image data is formed with a first amount of toner, or a second mode in which a toner image based on the piece of image data is formed with a second amount of toner larger than the first amount of toner. A count function for counting the number of times of the image formation performed in the second mode, rather than the first mode, is performed.

The display unit is configured to display a screen. The reception unit is configured to receive a setting for a condition made by a user. In a case where the character string including the characters recognized by the character recognition unit does not satisfy the condition, the display unit displays a screen including information indicating image data in which the characters are recognized.

Abstract: An optical sheet 10 of the present invention includes a laminate including a polarizing layer 4 containing at least one kind of a light absorbing agent and having a polarizing function, and a protective layer 1 laminated on the polarizing layer 4, in which in the polarizing layer 4, a value of a* is 0 or more and 30 or less and a value of b* is 0 or more and 30 or less in an L*a*b* color system defined by JIS Z 8781-4, and in the optical sheet 10, a size of a Q Blue value defined by Australian Standard Australia/New Zealand Standard 1067-2016 is 0.70 or more. Thus, even when the optical sheet is toned to brown, blue light can be distinguished with excellent distinguishability.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which is capable of appropriately producing displays using installed expansion application modules without using a window manager module. The image forming apparatus produces a display in accordance with a display instruction for at least one of the installed expansion application modules. When display instructions for the expansion application modules overlap each other, priorities for display are assigned based on starting conditions related to the expansion application modules.
