  • Publication number: 20140044468
    Abstract: Provided is an image forming system including a feed tray, a printer unit, a first post-processing unit that performs first post-processing accompanying at least a change in a sheet size, a second post-processing unit that performs second post-processing other than the first post-processing, and a control unit that controls setting and performing feeding, outputting, and the post-processing of the sheet. In a case where the first post-processing and the second post-processing are set, the control unit acquires a feeding sheet size of a sheet fed from the feed tray, calculates a sheet size after the first post-processing based on the acquired feeding sheet size, and determines whether the set post-processings can be performed based on the calculated sheet size and a sheet size that can be processed by the second post-processing.

  • Publication number: 20130314903
    Abstract: A medical light source device worn on the body of an operator enables the application range to be set at a state displaced from the direction in which the body currently faces. An acceleration sensor 106 is attached to a holder 7 to put an illumination section 1 on the body of the operator, and detects a motion of the body of the operator. When an application-range center position setting switch 107b is operated, a position detecting section 108 detects a center position based on the acceleration information detected by the acceleration sensor 106, and an optical axis adjusting section 108 fixes the optical axis of the illumination section 1 to the detected center position. Then, the application angle of application light from the illumination section 1 is capable of being adjusted in a plurality of stages by an application control section 110.
