  • Patent number: 8928909
    Abstract: A startup operation control apparatus includes a main-power-source operation unit, a determining unit, a memory, and a controller. The main-power-source operation unit is operated to supply and shut off power from a power source. The determining unit determines whether or not the main-power-source operation unit has been operated. The memory stores, every time an operation mode of a processing device that operates by receiving power supply from the power source changes, information representing the changed operation mode in an updating manner. If the determining unit determines, upon a shift from a power shutoff state to a power supply state, that the main-power-source operation unit has not been operated, the controller performs control so that the processing device operates in the operation mode represented by the information stored in the memory.

  • Publication number: 20100245923
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires image information that represents an image; a formation unit that forms the image that the image information that the acquisition unit acquires represents onto a medium; a trimming unit that trims the medium onto which the formation unit forms the image; and a determination unit that determines an edge cut from the image based on the size of a trimmed part of the medium trimmed by the trimming unit, the size of the medium, and the size of the image that the image information represents, wherein the formation unit forms the image of which the edge that the determination unit determines to cut is cut onto the medium so that the edge of the image is located at a position based on the trimmed part that the trimmed unit trims.
