  • Publication number: 20130246832
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a monitoring object device, a monitor that monitors the monitoring object device, a controller including a first time source, a base monitor including a second time source, and a console. The controller sets times of the first time source and the monitoring object device on the basis of an instruction of time setting from the console and then transmits notification of time setting completion to the console. When an exclusive relationship that the base monitor is not allowed to set a time in the second time source under a state where the controller is running is established, the console stops the controller, causes the base monitor to set a time in the second time source after the reception of the notification of time setting completion. After time setting in the second time source is completed, the console restarts the controller and the base monitor.

  • Patent number: 6934503
    Abstract: A printer prints on two sides of a sheet of paper having continuous pages, and discharges the paper to a postprocessor for disconnecting the paper in page units and storing the disconnected sheets of paper in a stack. Depending on whether the postprocessor has an inversion mechanism that inverts front and back sides of the paper, sides of the paper on which data for the front side of the paper and data for the back side of the paper are printed are switched. With this arrangement, even when the postprocessor does not have the inversion mechanism, the front side data is printed on the back side, and the back side data is printed on the front side thereby enabling the postprocessor to stack the disconnected sheets of paper in page units in the order of page numbers.
