Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus having an image reading device, and a post-processing apparatus having a manual staple mechanism. The manual staple mechanism is capable of performing staple processing on condition that power is supplied from the image forming apparatus to the post-processing apparatus. The image forming apparatus stops power supply to the post-processing apparatus on condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since reference timing. When the image forming apparatus reads an original with the image reading device, the image forming apparatus determines presence or absence of a staple mark in the original based on a read result. When the image forming apparatus determines that the staple mark is present, the image forming apparatus extends the predetermined time.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises: a display that displays a first screen including one or more than one first key for setting a mode to execute a function of the apparatus, and then, if one of the first keys is pressed, displays a second screen including one or more than one second key, which is a lower-class screen under the pressed first key; and a customizing portion that hides at least one of the first and the second keys on the first screen, according to a user operation, and wherein if a user changes to non-display, the setting of at least one of the first keys on the first screen, while there exists a second key preliminarily prohibited from being hidden, on the second screen that is a lower-class screen under the first key to be hidden according to the changed setting, the customizing portion doesn't hide the first key.

Abstract: A display device includes: a display unit capable of displaying a setting screen having an input area for an input value and a keypad screen having soft keys on the same screen; a determiner configured to determine an acceptable input value range of the input area displayed on the display unit; and a display controller configured to display only soft keys on the keypad screen, wherein the keypad screen has a fixed area in which the soft key is fixedly displayed and a variable area in which the soft key is variably displayed, the soft keys are classified into a common key and an individual key other than the common key, and the display controller displays the common key in the fixed area of the keypad screen and the individual key in the variable area of the keypad screen out of the soft keys.

Abstract: An information processing device includes: a communication unit that communicates with an image forming apparatus; a storage unit; a receipt unit that receives a setting value of the image forming apparatus; an acquisition unit that acquires information about a state of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus to change setting of the setting value; and a request unit that stores the setting value received by the receipt unit in the storage unit when the image forming apparatus is in a state not allowed for setting a setting value, and requests the image forming apparatus to set the setting value stored in the storage unit when the image forming apparatus shifts to a state allowed for setting a setting value, wherein the setting value is stored in the storage unit by a function of a web browser application program executed by the information processing device.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus containing a web server is provided. The image processing apparatus regularly notifies a web browser of an operation instruction. When it is determined that setting processing of a set value for an operation of the image processing apparatus is attached, whether or not there is a set value saved on the web browser is checked. When it is confirmed that there is a set value saved on the web browser, the web browser is caused to transmit the set value to the image processing apparatus. When the set value transmitted from the web browser is reflected on the image processing apparatus, the set value saved on the web browser is deleted.
