Abstract: A control device to control an image forming system having an image forming apparatus and a sheet discharge apparatus and includes a storage, a generator, and a controller. The storage stores sheet stacking information and taking out completion information. The generator generates a sheet bundle image representing a sheet bundle stacked on each of plural stacking trays based on the stored sheet stacking information. The controller combines the sheet bundle image with a system configuration image to display a combination on a display. The controller filters, from a list of processed image forming jobs, an image forming job for which sheets are not taken out to display the filtered image forming job on the display, and updates the sheet stacking information and the taking out completion information where the controller controls to determine that the sheet bundle stacked on any one of the plural stacking trays is taken out.

Abstract: A control device includes a storage and a controller and controls a system having an image forming apparatus to form an image onto a sheet based on an image forming job, and a sheet stacking apparatus having a stacking tray. The storage stores stacking state information indicating a state of sheets stacked and/or to he stacked on the stacking tray. The controller controls to generate a system configuration image that visualizes a configuration of the system, to generate a sheet bundle image that visualizes a sheet bundle stacked on the tray, and to display a screen in which the sheet bundle image is combined at a position of the stacking tray in the system configuration image. The controller controls to display the sheet bundle image such that sheets of a processed job, sheets of a job being processed, and sheets of a processing waiting job are distinguished from each other.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes a processor and a memory to control a system having an image forming apparatus and a sheet discharge apparatus. Executing a memory store program causes the control apparatus to receive configuration information of the system and generate a system configuration image, receive stacking state information and generate a sheet bundle image, display a screen, receive job identification information of an image forming job of sheets to be picked up, and display a thumbnail image. The stacking state information includes a stacking amount of sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray. The sheet bundle image represents the sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray based on the stacking state information. The system configuration image and the sheet bundle image are combined in the screen. The thumbnail image is based on receiving the job identification information.

The input portion inputs designation of an image forming job corresponding to sheets to be taken out. The display controller displays an order of taking out the sheets corresponding to the image forming job designated through the input portion.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus that is capable of calculating an appropriate replacement guide value of a part even in a case where the image processing apparatus operates under different operating modes. The image processing apparatus is capable of operating in a plurality of operating modes of different image forming speeds and has a replacement guide default value showing a guide for replacement of a part for each of the operating modes. A degree of wear of the part for each of the operating modes is calculated based on the replacement guide default value. The calculated degree of wear is, in a case where the operating mode is changed, converted to a degree of wear for the operating mode after the change, and a replacement guide value of the part in the operating mode is calculated after the change based on the converted degree of wear.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that facilitates user's determination of necessity of setting an inspection resuming page and is improved in jam processing efficiency. A sheet having an image formed thereon by an image forming unit is conveyed along a sheet conveying path. A sheet inspection device inspects the image on a sheet being conveyed through sheet conveying path. When a jam occurs in the conveying path, image formation by the image forming unit is interrupted. When jammed sheets are removed, formation of images including those formed on the jammed sheets is resumed. When a leading one of the jammed sheets is on a downstream side of the sheet inspection device, the image formation is resumed from an image formed on the leading jammed sheet, based on a user instruction.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs a binding process for binding a plurality of sheets. When a binding unit configured to bind sheets without using a staple performs the binding process, the image processing apparatus adds a mark for identifying a position where the binding process is performed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of making a match between the orientation of a reference side of a sheet along which punched holes are formed and the orientation of an output image on the sheet in double-sided printing. It is determined whether or not to rotate an image based on whether the image is printed in a single-sided printing mode or a double-sided printing mode. In the double-sided printing mode, a reverse-side image is printed on a first surface of the sheet, the sheet is conveyed into the printing section through a double-sided conveying path, a front-side image is printed on a second surface of the sheet, and the sheet is discharged. In the single-sided printing mode, an image for single-sided printing is printed on a first surface of the sheet, and the sheet is discharged.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus determines whether binding processing is manual binding. If it is determined that the binding processing is the manual binding, staple less binding is performed at a first binding position. If it is determined that the binding processing is not the manual binding, staple less binding is performed at a second binding position different from the first binding position.

Abstract: A printing apparatus prints an image in a right direction based on an open/close state of a flap of a held envelope and on a position of the flap received from a user. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, includes determining whether an envelope having a flap is held by a holding unit with its flap opened or the envelope is held by the holding unit with its flap closed, receiving, from a user, a front end, a far side, or a back end in the conveyance direction of the envelope as a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit, and performing control such that a direction of an image to be printed on the envelope is decided based on a result of the determination and on the received position of the flap, and the image is printed on the envelope.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a power control unit, a detecting unit, and a determining unit. The power control unit controls power supply to an operation unit, an engine unit, and a controller unit. The detecting unit detects a size of a sheet held in a sheet holding unit. The determining unit determines, after the printing apparatus is shifted to a power saving state which restricts power supply to the operation unit, the engine unit, and the controller unit, whether a size of a sheet specified in a received job and the detected size match each other. Where the determining unit determines that the detected and specified size of the sheets match each other, the power control unit supplies power to the controller engine units while maintaining the restriction on power supply to the operation unit, and shifts the printing apparatus to the power saving state after the job ends.
