Abstract: An information processing apparatus, which communicates with an image forming apparatus and a reader, including: a display; and a controller configured to: obtain read image data output from the reader; determine an error of the read image data based on the read image data and reference data; cancel image forming operation of the image forming apparatus in a case where the error is determined in succession a predetermined number of times; cancel reading operation of the reader in the case where the error is determined in succession the predetermined number of times; notify, on the display, the cancellation of the image forming operation and the reading operation in the case where the error is determined in succession the predetermined number of times; and receive a user's instruction information about the predetermined number of times.

Abstract: Provided is a cutting method for a glass sheet, comprising radiating a laser beam to a cutting portion (C) of a glass sheet (G) having a thickness of 500 ?m or less to fuse the glass sheet (G), wherein a narrowest gap between fused end surfaces (Ga1 and Gb1) of the glass sheet (G), which face each other in the cutting portion (C), is managed to satisfy a relationship of 0.1?b/a?2, where “a” is a thickness of the glass sheet (G) and “b” is the narrowest gap.

Abstract: Provided is an initial crack formation device (1) for scoring a front-side end (Ga) in a conveyance direction (B) of a glass ribbon (G) conveyed by a belt conveyer (3) so as to form an initial crack group (CG) including a plurality of aggregated initial cracks (C) in a width direction of the front-side end (Ga) orthogonal to the conveyance direction (B). The initial crack formation device (1) includes a flap wheel (4) for scoring the front-side end (Ga) while rotating in a direction of drawing the glass ribbon (G) into the conveyance direction (B). The flap wheel (4) is configured to rotate at a rotational peripheral speed higher than a conveyance speed of the glass ribbon (G).

Abstract: A glass sheet cutting device fuses and divides a glass substrate using a preset cutting line as a boundary while supplying an assist gas and a laser beam from above the glass substrate along the preset cutting line of the glass substrate. The glass sheet cutting device includes a first laser irradiator for radiating a fusing laser beam and a second laser irradiator for radiating an annealing laser beam. Through a fusing gap formed between fused end surfaces by fusing, the second laser irradiator radiates the annealing laser beam obliquely from above onto the fused end surface to be annealed.

Abstract: A glass sheet cutting device (1) fuses and divides a glass substrate (G) using a preset cutting line (CL) as a boundary while supplying an assist gas (AG) and a laser beam from above the glass substrate (G) along the preset cutting line (CL) of the glass substrate (G). The glass sheet cutting device (1) includes a first laser irradiator (2) for radiating a fusing laser beam (LB1) and a second laser irradiator (3) for radiating an annealing laser beam (LB2). Through a fusing gap (S) formed between fused end surfaces (Ga1, Gb1) by fusing, the second laser irradiator (3) radiates the annealing laser beam (LB2) obliquely from above onto the fused end surface (Ga1) to be annealed.
