  • Patent number: 9392137
    Abstract: An image reading device includes a reading unit, a drive section, an operation control section, an acquiring section, and a casing. The drive section moves the reading unit. The operation control section controls a drive operation by the drive section and a light emitting operation by a light emitting section. The acquiring section acquires status information indicating a state of the device. The casing constitutes an outer contour of the device. The casing has a symbol inscribed on a predetermined portion therein. The symbol corresponds to the status information item. When the acquiring section acquires the status information item, the operation control section controls the drive section to move the reading unit to a position corresponding to the portion on which the symbol corresponding to the status information item is inscribed and controls the light emitting section to emit light while the reading unit is located at the position.

  • Patent number: 5956540
    Abstract: An image forming device connected to one or more data processing devices is disclosed, and includes a printer unit, a copying unit, a document transport unit for transporting documents printed in the printer unit to a document mounting unit on the copying unit, and a guide member for moving the printer unit between a first position adjacent to the document mounting unit on the copying unit and a second position separated from the document mounting unit. The data processing device sends print jobs to the printer unit, and if multiple copies are desired, the printed documents are sent to the copying unit by the document transport device and copied.

  • Patent number: 5920749
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus which forms a toner image which is transferred onto a copy sheet includes a fixing unit having a heater for fixing the toner image onto the copy sheet at a predetermined fixing temperature. A cooling unit operates at a first cooling state for cooling the fixing unit. A mode selector is provided for setting a mode of the image forming apparatus to an energy saving mode in which heating operation by the heater is halted. A cooling controller suspends cooling operation of the cooling unit after a delay following a time when the image forming apparatus is set to the energy saving mode.
