Abstract: An image-forming device includes: a main casing to which a consumable having a consumable memory is attachable; a main memory; a communication interface; and a controller. The main memory is capable of storing: common identification information representing an image-forming device group including the image-forming device and another image-forming device; and settings information including a setting related to an operation of the image-forming device. The controller is configured to perform: in response to determining that the common identification information is stored in the main memory, an acquisition process; and a storage process. In the acquisition process, the controller acquires, from an external device via the communication interface, settings information stored in a main memory of the other image-forming device included in the image-forming device group corresponding to the common identification information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a consumable including a consumable memory storing type information; a main casing to which the consumable is attached; a communication interface; and a controller. The type information indicates whether the consumable is a special consumable that can be used when the image forming apparatus is under a concluded agreement or a normal consumable that can be used irrespective of whether or not the image forming apparatus is under the concluded agreement. The controller is configured to perform: when determining that the attached consumable is the special consumable and when printing is performed based on a print instruction after the image forming apparatus is registered to be subjected to a newly concluded agreement, transmitting to an external device print information indicating that the printing is performed based on the print instruction to cause a concluded agreement for another image forming apparatus to be cancelled.

Abstract: A controller is configured to: acquire first access information indicating a transmission source of instruction data; receive the instruction data based on the first access information; in response to receiving input-type instruction data, input content data of a storage target based on input method information included in the input-type instruction data, and store resource data in which the inputted content data is associated with resource identification information included in the input-type instruction data; in response to receiving output-type instruction data, read resource data corresponding to resource identification information included in the output-type instruction data, and output the content data associated with the resource identification information of the read resource data based on output method information included in the output-type instruction data; and in response to receiving the instruction data including reception instruction information, receive next instruction data based on second ac

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a consumable is mounted in the main casing. The consumable includes a consumable memory. A controller performs a consumable determination process to determine based on type information stored in a consumable memory whether the consumable mounted in the main casing is a special consumable. The controller performs a transmission process in a case where the consumable determination process determines that the consumable mounted in the main casing is the special consumable. The transmission process transmits via the communication interface a request to an external device which communicates with the image forming apparatus. The request is to cancel an agreement which is concluded for another image forming apparatus as a contract subject. The another image forming apparatus is different from the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: In an image forming device, an image forming engine is configured to form an image. The memory stores configuration information and confidential information. The controller is configured to operate based on the configuration information. In a case where a storage medium is connected to the input output interface, and the storage medium stores import configuration information and import instruction information, the controller imports the import configuration information as the configuration information to the memory by using the import instruction information, encrypts the import instruction information by using the confidential information, and stores the encrypted import instruction information in the storage medium. After the import configuration information is imported, the controller operates according to the import configuration information.

Abstract: In an information-processing device, a controller operates according to setting information. The controller executes selective one of a swap mode and a copy mode. The swap mode is for moving the setting information from one device to another device. The copy mode is for copying the setting information from one device to one or more devices. While a removable medium is connected to the input-output interface: the controller performs; in a swap-mode case where the swap mode is executed, storing in the removable medium the setting information currently stored in the memory and overwriting the setting information in the memory to prescribed initial setting information; and in a copy-mode case where the copy mode is executed, storing in the removable medium the setting information currently stored in the memory while maintaining the current setting information in the memory.

Abstract: An information processing terminal acquires a plurality of object IDs identifying respective ones of a plurality of display objects. Each of the plurality of display objects is previously with a corresponding standard operation. The terminal acquires a plurality of operation IDs identifying respective ones of the plurality of operations, and displays a first screen to prompt a user to select an operation ID to be correlated to one of the plurality of object IDs. The terminal receives a first input to select an operation ID to be correlated to an object ID via the user interface after the first screen is displayed on the terminal display. The terminal generates instruction data and custom operation data defining a custom operation concerning an operation identified by the selected operation ID. The instruction data is information used for execution of the custom operation defined.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a display; a first display controller configured to display a background screen image(s); and a second display controller configured to display, within each background screen image, at least one object image each for receiving a command for executing a corresponding predefined processing. The first display controller executes a display switch processing to switch the background screen image being displayed on the display from a first background screen image to a second background screen image by moving the first and second background screen images in a first direction. The second display controller executes a shaking display processing in which the object image displayed within the second background screen image is repeatedly moved between two positions. The shaking display processing is started upon a start of the display switch processing and finished after an end of the display switch processing.
