Abstract: A printer driver that is executable in a computer causes the computer to carry out a process including the steps of reading a first number of copies of a document to be printed with a decolorable material and a second number of copies of the document to be printed with a non-decolorable material, and generating a print command for a printer that causes the printer to print the first number of copies with the decolorable material and the second number of copies with the non-decolorable material.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printer, an interface through which print data includes at least one of a first setting to form a first image with a decolorable colorant and a second setting to form a second image with a non-decolorable colorant, and a controller that determines whether the print data includes a layout setting to form a plurality of images on a sheet. If the print data includes the layout setting and only one of the first and the second setting, the printer forms the images with a corresponding one of the decolorable colorant and the non-decolorable colorant on the sheet based on the layout setting. If the print data includes the layout setting, the first setting and the second setting, the printer forms each of the first image and the second image on different sheets.

Abstract: An optical disk device includes a pickup head, and a controller which controls the pickup head. The controller subtracting a second measured value determined from an amplitude value of the tracking error signal when the pickup head irradiates a second area of the optical disk with a first DVD laser beam, from a first measured value determined from the amplitude value of the tracking error signal output when the pickup irradiates a first area of the optical disk with the first DVD laser beam, to determine an evaluation value. The controller determining that the optical disk is the first DVD if the evaluation value is smaller than a reference value, and determining that the installed optical disk is a second DVD if the evaluation value is larger than the reference value, the second DVD optical disk having a smaller track width than the first DVD optical disk.

Abstract: The invention is based on an electronic still camera for converting a taken optical image of the subject into digital image data, and recording into a memory card incorporating semiconductor memories, in which the digital image data obtained from this electronic still camera is stored in a large-capacity recording medium through an exclusive recording device, or displayed in plural monitors, or stored in a disk or magnetic tape by existing recording devices or even compressed, expanded, edited or processed, so that it may satisfy versatile requests of users sufficiently.
