Abstract: The image forming apparatus according to the embodiment includes a first sensor unit, a setting unit, and a notification unit. The first sensor unit is configured to detect a person who enters a detection range and specify a position of the person. If an error related to image processing or image formation occurs, the setting unit is configured to set a notification direction according to the position of the person who enters the detection range. The notification unit is configured to notify an occurrence of the error in the notification direction based on setting by the setting unit.

Abstract: In general, an image forming apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises an image forming section, a reading section and a controller. The image forming section forms an image on a sheet. The reading section reads the image on the sheet to generate scan image information. The controller generates background image information obtained by excluding extraction image information from the scan image information and forms the background image information, first identification information of the sheet and orientation information indicating orientation of the sheet on the sheet through the image forming section.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a detection section that detects a distance between the image forming apparatus and a portable terminal, and a controller. The controller determines whether the distance meets a predetermined condition, and controls operations relating to an image forming job if the detected distance meets the predetermined condition.

Abstract: An image processing device includes a scanning unit configured convert an image of an object into image data, a storage unit storing the image data, and a controller configured to transmit an electronic message to a client computer, such that a screen of the electronic message displayed on the client computer includes a user interface element associated with deleting the image data from the storage unit.

Abstract: Of the image data acquired by scanning a document and image data externally input, one or more image data mainly to be printed are stored in a hard disk drive, without being changed in format. Each image data item stored in the hard disk drive is edited and output, while remaining in the initial image format.

Abstract: In an image filing process of a multifunctional peripheral 1 as an image filing apparatus, when image data is input in scanning, network printing or facsimile reception, the input image data is converted into various formats, and the image data in various formats is stored in a filing box 15a.

Abstract: A user is notified of an auto power off operation or an auto power save operation before the operation is executed. Therefore, an unexpected power off operation or unexpected switching into a power save mode can be avoided, and no extra labor or time is imposed on the user.
