    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a transfer unit, a fixing unit, a conveyance unit, and a control unit. The control unit selectively performs a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a mode in which, when a grammage of a sheet is a first grammage, if a leading edge of the sheet has reached the fixing unit, the control unit controls the first suction unit such that suction force of the first suction unit becomes first suction force. The second mode is a mode in which, when the grammage of the sheet is a second grammage smaller than the first grammage, if a leading edge of the sheet has reached the fixing unit, the control unit controls the first suction unit such that the suction force of the first suction unit becomes second suction force smaller than the first suction force.

  • Publication number: 20190346937
    Abstract: A specification unit (810) specifies an operational state including an operational mode of a mobile terminal device (800), and sends the specified result to a display control unit (820). When an information processing device (700) and the mobile terminal device (800) are performing cooperative operation, if it is discovered by means of the specification result that the operational mode of the mobile terminal device (800) changes, the display control unit (820) generates, according to the change of operational mode, display designation including icons to be displayed in the first display areas 721 of the information processing device (700) and there shapes. And the display control unit (820) transmits the generated display designation to the information processing device (700). Due to this, it is possible to employ the input unit of a different information processing device in an appropriate manner when performing actuation input to the mobile terminal device.
