Abstract: A communication device includes a zero-forcing equalizer that receives a receipt signal and execute zero-forcing equalization on the receipt signal, a partial response equalizer that receives the receipt signal and execute partial response equalization on the receipt signal, a first weighted value calculator that calculates a first weighted value based on signal quality of the receipt signal output from the zero-forcing equalizer, a second weighted value calculator that calculates a second weighted value based on signal quality of the receipt signal output from the partial response equalizer, and an estimator that estimates a maximum likelihood sequence by supplying the first weighted value to state transition based on output by the zero-forcing equalizer and supplying the second weighted value to state transition based on output by the partial response equalizer.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus having an apparatus main body, a sheet feeding cassette, a manual bypass tray, an opening/closing detection part and a sheet feeding source setting part. The apparatus main body has an input part to which a printing instruction is input. The manual bypass tray is displaced into an open posture and into a close posture. The sheet feeding source setting part sets the sheet feeding cassette or the manual bypass tray as a sheet feeding source. When the opening/closing detection part detects that the manual bypass tray is displaced from the close posture to the open posture and the printing instruction is input to the input part, regardless of the sheet feeding source input to the input part, the sheet feeding source setting part sets the manual bypass tray as the sheet feeding source.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a body casing provided therein with a container mounting part in which a plurality of toner containers are juxtaposed and mounted in a predetermined direction and an opening and closing door for opening and closing a toner container attaching/detaching opening formed on a sidewall opposite to the container mounting part in the body casing. The opening and closing door includes a plurality of sliding doors configured to slidably move within a range of a width of the opening in the predetermined direction.
