Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for displaying an antenna location of a communication terminal, receives, from a user carrying and operating the communication terminal, an instruction that causes the communication terminal to establish a non-contact communication with a counterpart communication device via an antenna provided in the communication terminal, and controls a display of the communication terminal to display location guide information indicating a location of the antenna in the communication terminal, the location guide information to be used for assisting the user in identifying a section of the communication terminal to be brought closer to the counterpart communication device to start establishing the non-contact communication with the counterpart communication device.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a recording medium; a reversing unit configured to reverse front and back sides of the recording medium; a recording head configured to reciprocatingly scan to form a first image on a first side of the recording medium, which is reciprocatingly conveyed by the conveyance unit at a first conveyance speed V1, and a second image on a second side of the recording medium, which is conveyed at a second conveyance speed V2 and ejected, in a case of performing a double-sided printing; and a control unit configured to control the first conveyance speed V1 and the second conveyance speed V2 to satisfy a relation V2?W/t<V1?(W/t)×2, where t is a scanning time required for one reciprocation of the recording head, and W is an image formation width of the recording head.

Abstract: An image formation apparatus includes a conveying unit that conveys a recording medium; a recording head that reciprocates in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the recording medium while the recording medium is being conveyed by the conveying unit, the recording head forming an image on the recording medium; a reception unit that receives scan image data, the scan image data being used to form the image, while the recording head waits in a non-printing region of the recording medium; and a control unit that controls a conveyance distance of the recording medium conveyed by the conveying unit while the recording head waits in the non-printing region. The control of the conveyance distance of the recording medium is determined based on a scan image data reception period of the scan image data, the scan image data reception period being obtained from a communication speed of the reception unit.
