Abstract: A communicating device of the present disclosure includes a mail receiving part and a mail creating part. The mail receiving part receives a received mail and stores the received mail in a received mail folder. The mail creating part creates a reply mail to a specified received mail in the received mail folder. The mail creating part searches the other received mail having the same title as the specified received mail from the received mail folder, and obtains main texts excluding a history portion from respective full texts of the specified received mail and the other received mail and adds the obtained main texts as a history to the reply mail.

Abstract: A display device includes a display section, a generating section, and a controller. The display section displays an image. The generating section generates a support image that defines a position of a character to be written on a sheet. The controller controls the display section so that the display section displays the support image according to the sheet.

Abstract: A image processing device includes an image selection means and an image gathering means. The image selection means receives a plurality of rectangular selected images selected by user's operation. The image gathering means overlays specific sides of two selected images on each other among the plurality of selected images to gather the plurality of selected images within an output image corresponding to predetermined paper.

Abstract: An image forming includes a predetermined-act acquisition unit, an output control unit, and an image forming unit. The predetermined-act acquisition unit is configured to obtain a predetermined act by a user. The output control unit is configured to: output a page of print data where a security has not been set up among pages of the print data where the security has been set up in page units, and permit output of a page of the print data where the security has been set up if the predetermined act has been obtained by the predetermined act acquisition unit within a predetermined standby time. The image forming unit is configured to print a page for which the output has been permitted by the output control unit.
