  • Patent number: 11934724
    Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: a receiver receiving recording data transmitted from a user; a recording section performing recording on a medium using the recording data; a storage section temporarily storing the recording data until the recording is finished; an output tray to which the medium with the recording finished is outputted; and a controller controlling the recording apparatus. Here, when an index indicating the size of a value of the number of users predicted to congregate near the recording apparatus is a density near the recording apparatus, the controller calculates the density based on information concerning recording data stored in the storage section, and enables the density to be referred to.

  • Publication number: 20220380162
    Abstract: A post-processing device includes a processing tray, an aligning plate, a transport section, a feeding section, and a pressing section. A sheet before being subjected to stapling processing by a stapler is to be mounted on the processing tray. The aligning plate aligns ends of a plurality of sheets. The transport section transports the sheet toward the aligning plate. The feeding section is provided between the transport section and the aligning plate and feeds the sheet in a transport direction. The pressing section is provided between the transport section and the aligning plate and applies, to the sheet, a pressing force having a component in a direction opposite from the transport direction. Further, the pressing section applies the pressing force to the sheet before the feeding section applies a feeding force to the sheet.

  • Publication number: 20220385774
    Abstract: A multi-function printer, which is an example of a display apparatus, includes a display section with a screen and a controller that changes display content of the screen. The multi-function printer includes the display section including an input section for input of a location on the screen as a contact location by a touch on the screen, and the controller that controls the display section. At least one of the factors indicating the degree of contamination of the screen since the previous screen cleanup is used as a parameter. In this case, the controller accumulates the value of at least one parameter since the previous screen cleanup and, in accordance with the accumulated value of the parameter, reducing the degree of visibility of display content displayed on the screen.

  • Publication number: 20220234368
    Abstract: A recording system includes a transportation unit that transports a paper sheet, an ejection unit that ejects an ink, a heating unit that heats the paper sheet, a discharge unit to which the paper sheet is discharged, and a control unit. The control unit specifies an amount of ejection of the ink from the ejection unit. The control unit also controls an operation of the heating unit such that an undried region where the ink on the paper sheet is not dried and a dried region where the ink on the paper sheet is dried are formed on the paper sheet. Then, the control unit controls a transporting operation by the transportation unit such that the paper sheet on which the dried region and the undried region are formed is discharged to the discharge unit.
