Abstract: To reduce effort in an operation where an email address which is assigned to a printer is set as the destination of an email in a user terminal, a printing system which performs printing based on an email which is transmitted by a user terminal and which includes a printer which has a recording medium which records information which indicates an email address which is assigned to the printer and provides the email address to the user terminal by means of contactless communication, and a printing control means which executes printing based on printing data which corresponds to an email which is transmitted with the email address set as the destination.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus further includes a discrimination unit which discriminates double feeding of a document from a carrier sheet, based on a double feeding detecting sensor (double feeding detecting unit) which detects double feeding of a document, a first detection result (section of L1) which is obtained when the double feeding detecting sensor detects a bonding portion of the carrier sheet, and a second detection result (double feeding detection value which is lower than second threshold value) which is obtained when the double feeding detecting sensor detects double feeding.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus is provided with an identification information reading unit (reading unit, NFC reader, and identification information acquisition unit) which acquires identification information by reading the identification information from a section to be read at which identifiable identification information is recorded for each individual carrier sheet and which is provided at a joining section of the carrier sheet in which two transparent sheets for pinching an original document are joined at a portion of a peripheral edge portion; and a processor which performs a process which is associated with the identification information read by the identification information reading unit.

Abstract: When a power supply mode is an AC power mode, if a correction value which is read out from a non-volatile memory is a second correction value ?2 corresponding to a battery mode, a first correction value ?1 is calculated according to an equation ?1=?2×K2 using the second correction value ?2, and bidirectional printing is performed by controlling an ejection timing of a print head based on the first correction value ?1. Meanwhile, when a power supply mode is the battery mode, if the correction value is the first correction value ?1 corresponding to the AC power mode, the second correction value ?2 is calculated according to an equation ?2=?1×K1 using the first correction value ?1, and bidirectional printing is performed by controlling the ejection timing of the print head based on the second correction value ?2.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a medium by discharging liquid from a discharge head, wherein a carriage on which the discharge head is mounted is made to be able to reciprocate, and in a case where agitation of liquid is required, control is performed such that operation areas of a plurality of places set within a movable range of the carriage are changed over and the carriage then reciprocates within the operation area.

Abstract: The printing apparatus includes a transport mechanism that feeds the recording medium to a printing position along a transport route, a carriage disposed so as to oppose the recording medium placed on the printing position, and a driving unit that drives the carriage to reciprocate in a main scanning direction different from the transport direction of the recording medium. The carriage moves when the front edge of the recording medium reaches a predetermined position on the transport route, and jam detection is performed by deciding whether the recording medium is jammed, on the basis of a physical amount that changes with the movement of the carriage.

Abstract: In a printer capable of performing recording on a recording medium such as an optical disk, a tray on which the recording medium is set is sent upstream or downstream by being nipped by a driving transfer roller rotatably driven by a motor and a driven transfer roller driven and rotated contacting it. When the tray is in a stillness state in a set position where the recording medium can be set, the assist control means generates rotation torque T1. When an external force F comes in effect on the tray, rotation torque T2 is generated by friction between the driving transfer roller and the tray, but the rotation torque T1 becomes an assist force, and the driving transfer roller rotates while any slip between the tray and the driving transfer roller does not occur.

When the tray is in a stillness state in a set position where the recording medium can be set, the assist control means generates rotation torque T1. When an external force F comes in effect on the tray, rotation torque T2 is generated by fraction between the driving transfer roller and the tray, but the rotation torque T1 becomes an assist force, and the driving transfer roller rotates while any slip between the tray and the driving transfer roller does not occur.
