Abstract: An image-forming system includes an image-forming unit that forms an image of a print job on a sheet having a trimming region based on an image-forming condition; and a processor. The image of the print job includes first and second user images. The processor controls the image-forming unit to form a pattern for adjustment in the trimming region, obtains read image data related to the pattern for adjustment formed on the sheet, and adjusts the image-forming condition based on the read image data. The processor controls a display to display a print preview that represents: the first user image in a print region of the sheet that is different from the trimming region, the second user image in the trimming region, and the pattern for adjustment in the trimming region.

Abstract: A length, in a lengthwise direction, of a sheet to be inspected by an inspection unit may be longer than a length of a conveyance path between a branch position corresponding to an initial branch path in a plurality of branch paths and a reading position of a reading apparatus. The sheet inspected by the inspection unit is not discharged to a stacking unit corresponding to the initial branch path, and is discharged to a stacking unit corresponding to a branch path branching from a main path at a branch position located further downstream than a branch position corresponding to the initial branch path.

Abstract: A method of determining a power transmission device to be set as a master device such that wasteful communication is not caused. In a wireless power feeding system, a power transmission device that transmits electric power to a power reception device forms a group with other power transmission devices. The power transmission device performs communication with the power reception device or the other power transmission devices using a wireless transmission section and a wireless reception section, and exchanges information with the other power transmission devices. The power transmission device receives a setting for determining a power transmission device to be set as a master device out of the self device and the other power transmission devices, with which information has been exchanged. If the received setting is for setting the self device as the master device, the self device is set as the master device.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus including: a circuit board; plurality of connectors that are arranged on the circuit board with a predetermined interval therebetween, are orientated in opposite directions from each other, and have a same shape; and a plurality of cables that respectively have connectors that are orientated in opposite directions from each other relative to a direction in which cords thereof extend, the connectors being configured to be respectively connected to the plurality of connectors. Out of the plurality of cables, a first cable that is configured to be connected to a first connector out of the plurality of connectors has a length that is determined such that the first cable is not connectable to a second connector out of the plurality of connectors.

Abstract: An information recording apparatus for recording data in a magnetic recording medium by a shingled write method, the apparatus comprises: a setting unit which sets, when the data is recorded in the magnetic recording medium, whether the data is data of a predetermined type; and a management unit which, if the data is the data of the predetermined type, records the data in an unused area out of a plurality of areas that comprise in the magnetic recording medium, and manages that the data of the predetermined type is recorded in that area, wherein the management unit, if the data of the predetermined type is deleted from the magnetic recording medium, deletes the data of the predetermined type, and manages the area to which the data of the predetermined type was recorded as an unused area.

Abstract: A setting apparatus of the present invention is useful in simplifying user operation necessary in setting an inspection item necessary in setting a target of inspection processing of a printed product. For example, if a two-sided printing is set by the user, a setting of print misregistration inspection for inspecting print misregistration between the front side and the back side is allowed to the user, however, if a one-sided printing is set by the user, a setting of print misregistration inspection is not allowed to the user.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus capable of accurately measuring an amount of electric power consumed during a power saving state while reducing an amount of electric power necessary for electric power measurement in the power saving state to a minimum. The apparatus is equipped with a power saving function for switching an operation mode between a normal state and a power saving state. A power measurement section measures a power of the image forming apparatus. A controller manages the power of apparatus based on the power measured by the power measurement section. When it is determined that the operation mode is the power saving state, the power measurement section stores the measured power without sending the same to the controller.

Abstract: A CPU of a network apparatus (MFP) counts, based on packets received in a certain period of time, the number of terminal apparatuses from among a plurality of terminal apparatuses that can communicate with the network apparatus. When the counted number of terminal apparatuses is less than the threshold value of the number of available hosts (Th), the network apparatus is controlled to shift into a power-saving state.
