Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a mobile input function to a mobile terminal via the network interface. In response to accepting a first operation to the operation panel with a local operation screen not displayed on the touch panel, the controller causes the touch panel to display the local operation screen, and thereafter switches the local operation screen on the touch panel to a standby screen after waiting until a continuous time with no operation to the touch panel exceeds a first threshold time. In response to accepting a second operation to the operation panel with the local operation screen not displayed on the touch panel, the controller causes the touch panel to display the standby screen without waiting for the first threshold time to elapse.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to provide a mobile input function that enables the image forming apparatus to accept input operations from a mobile terminal via a network interface. After starting to provide the mobile input function, the controller sends display data to the mobile terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the mobile terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the mobile terminal. The controller displays a standby screen including a particular operable object on a touch panel when the mobile input function is not provided. When the particular operable object is operated, the controller switches the standby screen to a local operation screen. In response to accepting an operation on the local operation screen, the controller performs a process according to what kind of operation has been accepted on the local operation screen.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, in a memory of an MFP, information indicating that an additional function, which is inactivated when shipped from a factory, is activated or inactivated is stored. The MFP starts a trial mode in which trial of the additional function is activated, then the additional function becomes activated within an effective period of the trial mode. The MFP is configured to receive an input of setting information used for the additional function, store the input setting information in the memory and execute a process of the additional function in accordance with the setting information. Further, when the trial mode is terminated, the MFP initializes the setting information in a case where the stored information indicates that the additional function is inactivated, but does not initialize the setting information in a case where the stored information indicates that the additional function is activated.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to provide a mobile input function that enables the image forming apparatus to accept input operations from a mobile terminal via a network interface. After starting to provide the mobile input function, the controller sends display data to the mobile terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the mobile terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the mobile terminal. The controller displays a standby screen including a particular operable object on a touch panel when the mobile input function is not provided. When the particular operable object is operated, the controller switches the standby screen to a local operation screen. In response to accepting an operation on the local operation screen, the controller performs a corresponding process depending on what kind of operation has been performed on the local operation screen.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus, having a mobile input function and a remote input function, includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller. After starting to provide one of the input functions, the controller sends display data to an operation terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the operation terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the operation terminal. While the mobile input function is being provided, the controller does not display a local operation screen on the touch panel. While the remote input function is being provided, the controller displays the local operation screen on the touch panel, and updates, in response to receiving operation data from the operation terminal via the network interface, display contents on the local operation screen, based on an operation indicated by the received operation data.

Abstract: A printer includes a controller, a memory, and a user interface. The printer has a first mode and a second mode. The controller disables the first mode when enabling the second mode and disables the second mode when enabling the first mode. The controller executes a first printing process while the first mode is enabled. In the first printing process, the controller receives a print job from a client device, stores the received print job in the memory, and performs printing based on the stored print job upon receiving a storage print command. The controller executes a second printing process and restricts the first printing process while the second mode is enabled. In the second printing process, the controller receives a print job from a server in response to receiving a prescribed input operation via the user interface, and performs printing based on the received print job from the server.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printer, a server device, and a client device. The client device receives identification information of a user, and transmits a print job for an image to be printed to the server device. The print job is associated with a computer name. The computer name specifis the client device and is assigned to the received identification information. The server device stores the print job in a specific folder having a name corresponding to the identification information to which the computer name is assigned and which is associated with the print job. The printer searches a folder provided in the server device to find the specific folder, receives selection of a print job from among one or more print jobs stored in the found folder, receives the selected print job from the server device, and prints an image based on the received print job.
