Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a read image resulting from reading a recording medium where a diagnostic image to be used to diagnose an image forming apparatus is formed; acquire, from the read image, an image read portion of the recording medium from which the diagnostic image is read and one specific portion of a non-formation read portion, the non-formation read portion resulting from reading a non-formation portion of the recording medium where the diagnostic image is not formed; and output the image read portion and the one specific portion.

Abstract: A compressor (31a, 31b) and an oil separator (35a, 35b) are provided in a refrigerant circuit (20). A flow-rate regulating valve (41a, 41b) is provided in an oil return pipe (40a, 40b) for returning a refrigerating-machine oil in the oil separator (35a, 35b) to the compressor (31a, 31b). A temperature sensor (42a, 42b) is provided downstream of the flow-rate regulating valve (41a, 41b) in the oil return pipe (40a, 40b). The oil-amount determiner (71a, 71b) determines whether an oil shortage state in which the amount of the refrigerating-machine oil held by the compressor (31a, 31b) is insufficient is present, on the basis of a measured value obtained by the temperature sensor (42a, 42b).
