Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display device, a gesture sensor, and a control device. The control device functions as a controller. When the gesture sensor detects a first gesture, the controller sets the image forming apparatus to a suspend mode and starts counting a first time. When the first time reaches a first threshold value, the controller sets the image forming apparatus to a waiting mode and allows the display device to display a notification indicating the waiting mode. When the gesture sensor detects a second gesture while the notification is displayed, the controller starts counting a second time. When the second time reaches a second threshold value, the controller turns off power of the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image reader unit that reads a document so as to generate image data, a storage unit that stores a user name and an address associated with the user name, a control unit that performs a character recognition process on the image data so as to obtain text data from the image data, recognizes a word included in the text data, and sets the address associated with the user name matching the recognized word to a destination, and a communication unit that transmits the image data to the destination set by the control unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus (1) includes a visible image forming unit (50), a display control unit (101) that causes the visible image forming unit (50) to form a visible image representing a display screen containing an image to be formed, an operation detection unit (54), a reception unit (104), and an image processing unit (105). The operation detection unit (54) detects a user's operation performed in the air, on the display screen displayed as the visible image by the visible image forming unit (50). The reception unit (104) identifies, when the user's operation detected by the operation detection unit (54) is a predetermined user's operation, a gradient to be applied to the image to be formed, according to the predetermined user's operation. The image processing unit (105) performs a perspective processing with respect to the image to be formed, according to the gradient identified by the reception unit (104).

Abstract: To provide an operation apparatus and image forming apparatus which can adequately notify users of status information of other apparatuses connected to the operation apparatus. The operation apparatus has: status information acquiring means 503 for acquiring status information of a multi-functional printer 100 associated with a specific tab item from the multi-functional printer 100; status information converting means 508 for converting the acquired status information into tab-type status information; tab item displaying means 510 for displaying tab-type status information in a tab display area which displays the specific tab item and which displays the other associated tab items in a tab display area which displays other tab items other than the specific tab item; and condition screen displaying means 513 for displaying a setting condition screen associated with the specific tab item to be displayed in one screen together with the tab which displays the tab-type status information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording sheet, an image formation control unit that controls an operation of the image forming unit, a visible image forming unit that forms a visible image in air, a display control unit that controls an operation of the visible image forming unit, to cause the visible image forming unit to form a visible image representing a display screen containing a preview of an image to be formed, and a reception unit that receives an operation of a user performed in the air on the display screen formed as visible image by the visible image forming unit. The display control unit eliminates, when the reception unit receives a predetermined operation of the user, an image in an area designated by the predetermined operation of the user from the preview of the image to be formed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an authentication unit, a storing unit, an image reading unit, a printing unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The authentication unit performs user authentication upon printing of an image of a document. The storing unit stores image data in advance. The image reading unit reads an image of a document. The printing unit forms and prints an image on the basis of the document image read by the image reading unit. The determination unit determines whether the document image read by the image reading unit has a relation with the image data stored in the storing unit. The control unit performs control, in response to determination by the determination unit that the document image read by the image reading unit has a relation with the image data stored in the storing unit, to activate the printing unit, without activating the authentication unit.

Abstract: While a display portion displays a list, a scroll operation that is an operation of moving a touch position after the touch of a touch panel portion and of thereafter cancelling the touch of the touch panel portion is performed such that the touch panel portion receives an instruction to scroll the list, and, when the scroll operation is performed on the touch panel portion, the display portion changes a scroll width at which the list is scrolled according to a scroll operation direction that is a direction in which the touch position is moved at the time of the scroll operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operation device which receives an input of an address twice in a row from a user, and determines the input of the address when a second address is identical to a first address, and the operation device includes a pseudo-address generator 402, a pseudo-address display unit 404, and an address determining unit 405. The pseudo-address generator 402 generates a pseudo-address obtained by converting a portion of characters included in the first address to predetermined characters when the first address is input. The pseudo-address display unit 404 displays a key of the first address and a key of the pseudo-address to be pressed by the user. The address determining unit 405 sets a predetermined address of a pressed key to a second address when the key of the predetermined address is pressed, and determines whether the second address is identical to the first address.
