Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an operation unit, a detection unit, an identification unit, and a controller. The operation unit includes an operation system to receive a user touch operation, and a display system to display an image. The detection unit detects a contact of an information storage medium. The identification unit identifies a location in the image processing apparatus at which an abnormality has occurred. Where the location at which the abnormality has occurred is identified to be only the operation system and the detection unit detects the information storage medium contact, the controller performs control to continue processing on the image processing apparatus on the display system. Where at least the identification unit identifies that the abnormality has occurred in the display system, the controller performs control at least to print a document indicating a method for continuing the processing on the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is capable of performing hold printing that holds a received print job and performs the print job in accordance with instructions to perform printing from a user, and includes a document type specification unit configured to specify a document type from the print job, a setting rule acquisition unit configured to acquire a setting rule in which print setting values are associated with a document type, and a setting value change unit configured to change a print setting value of the print job based on a setting rule of a document type corresponding to a document type specified by the document type specification unit, which is acquired by the setting rule acquisition unit. In addition, a display control unit is configured to perform control so as to display the print job whose print setting value is changed by highlighting the print job.

Abstract: A program editor creates a program-edit screen for a control system based on element data for representing circuit elements and operators and their attribute values. Here, the circuit elements and operators are components of sequential programs which constitute functions of the control system. The program editor which edits the element data on the created program-edit screen judges whether the data for representing the circuit elements and the operators is protected-function data or non-protected-function data and displays assembly sets of programs for implementing predetermined functions constituted by circuit elements and operators to which accesses are authenticated on the program-edit screen in a display mode different from those of the other assembly sets.

Abstract: A fault diagnosis apparatus and method capable of simultaneously detecting the fault of a multiplexer and the fault of an A/D converter and isolating and identifying causes of these faults, the multiplexer and the A/D converter being used in a multi-channel analog input/output circuit. Test-voltage values are inputted from a diagnosis-voltage input unit into the multiplexer and the A/D converter constituting an analog-signal conversion unit, the multiplexer having plural channels, the A/D converter converting outputs from the multiplexer into digital signals, the test-voltage values being different from each other for each channel of the multiplexer. Comparisons are made between the digital voltage values and the test-voltage values inputted, the digital voltage values being outputted for each channel of the multiplexer. From this comparison result, it is judged whether the multiplexer is at fault or the A/D converter is at fault.
