Abstract: A conference device receives and transmits at least one of images and voice via a communication network. The conference device includes a housing having an upper wall; and an operating unit installed on the upper wall. The operating unit includes a first operating member group made up of a plurality of operating members, and at least one different operating member that has a lower frequency of usage as compared to each of the plurality of operating members of the first operating member group. The plurality of operating members of the first operating member group are arranged in a first direction along a top face of the upper wall. The at least one different operating member is disposed, along with one of the plurality of operating members of the first operating member group, in a second direction that runs along the top face and that intersects with the first direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus in which unintentional operation of the operation unit does not occur when sheets on which images have been formed or sheets prior to image forming or the like are placed on the top surface of the main body of the apparatus. The operation unit and a bearing are connected by a linking member. The operation unit can be disposed further forward than the carriage, so the distance between the operator and the operation unit is small, the operation is thereby made easier. The operation unit can be disposed closer to the center of the apparatus than the position of the carriage when it has moved as far as possible to the operation unit side, so the width of the whole recording apparatus can be made narrower. The operation unit rotates about a rotation shaft, so no matter what specific position the operation unit is located in, the operation unit is lower than the top surface of the apparatus main body.

Abstract: A housing for a conference device, and the conference device including such housing, are disclosed. The housing includes a top surface, a front side surface, and a back side surface provided opposite of the front side surface. The cross-sectional width of the housing is generally made smaller from the front side surface to the back side surface so as to make the top surface to have a trapezoid like shape or a triangle like shape.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of recording liquid cartridges, a cartridge holder, and a cover. The plurality of recording liquid cartridges contain recording liquids of colors different from each other. The cartridge holder holds the plurality of recording liquid cartridges in the apparatus. The cover includes a see-through portion through which the plurality of recording liquid cartridges are visible, and encloses the plurality of recording liquid cartridges held by the cartridge holder inside the apparatus. The cover is opened to allow an operator access to exchange each of the plurality of recording liquid cartridges.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus such as an ink jet printer or a laser beam printer include an ink or toner cartridge loading portion and a display portion to show the remaining amount of the ink or the toner. The ink or toner cartridge loaded in the ink or toner cartridge loading portion and the display portion are viewable together at once.
