Abstract: There is provided a multi function peripheral which has a plurality of functions which includes a communication unit that communicates with an external storage device which has a connection with the multi function peripheral, and a registration information acquisition unit that acquires registration information stored in the storage device indicating whether each of the plurality of functions is allowed to be used, through the communication unit. The multi function peripheral operates so that functions for which usage is indicated to be allowed by the registration information are caused to be executed according to operations of the multi function peripheral by a user, and functions of which usage is indicated not to be allowed by the registration information are prevented from being executed irrespective of operations of the multi function peripheral by the user.

Abstract: A PGE1 derivative is provided which has an excellent sustained, slow-release PGE1 action. In addition, a PGE1-derivative-containing nanoparticle produced using this PGE1 derivative is provided, which effectively targets an affected site, has excellent drug slow-release properties, and has reduced side effects. This PGE1-derivative-containing nanoparticle is a nanoparticle containing a prostaglandin E1 derivative represented by the following formula (1) (wherein n denotes an integer of 1 to 12), obtained by hydrophobicizing the prostaglandin E1 derivative with a metal ion, and reacting the hydrophobicized prostaglandin E1 derivative with poly L-lactic acid or a poly(L-lactic acid/glycolic acid) copolymer and a poly DL- or L-lactic acid-polyethylene glycol block copolymer or a poly(DL- or L-lactic acid/glycolic acid)-polyethylene glycol block copolymer.

Abstract: A printing device includes a printing unit which prints an image on a sheet according to a print command, a judgment unit which judges whether a total adhesion amount of a print agent adhering to the sheet for the image printing exceeds a prescribed threshold value based on inputted print data, and a control unit which executes a process for reducing the total adhesion amount of the print agent when the total adhesion amount is judged to exceed the threshold value by the judgment unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that includes: a reading unit; an image forming unit that forms an image on a sheet; a fixing unit; a mode selecting unit that selects a first mode from plural modes, in the first mode of which a document is read by the reading unit and the image is formed by the image forming unit; a temperature controlling unit that controls a temperature of the fixing unit to be one of a fixing state a standby state and a sleep state; a sleep transferring unit that transfers to the sleep state; and a switching unit that switches the fixing unit to the standby state on selecting the first mode. The temperature is controlled to transfer to the standby state on switching to transfer to the standby state, and otherwise, controlled to be in the sleep state is until receiving an instruction to the first mode.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus including an image reading portion operable to read an image on an original, to obtain image information, an image-information outputting portion operable to output the image information to an external device, an image recording portion operable to record an image on a recording medium, on the basis of the image information obtained by the image reading portion, an original-size specifying portion operable to specify a size of the original, a recording-medium-size obtaining portion operable to obtain a size of the, recording medium, and an image-reading-area setting portion operable to set an image reading area of the image reading portion, on the basis of the size of the original specified by the original-size specifying portion, upon operation of the image-information outputting portion, and to set the image reading area, on the basis of the size of the recording medium obtained by the recording-medium-size obtaining portion, upon operation of the image recording portion.

Abstract: A recording device includes an image retrieval unit, a memory, an image forming unit, and a control unit. The image retrieval unit retrieves images of the document pages as document image data. The control unit begins retrieving document image data from the memory as the image retrieval unit is retrieving document image data and sends the document image data to the image forming unit. The image forming unit uses document image data to form images on recording sheets faster than the image data is retrieved. The control unit checks the memory to confirm whether document image data for a next document page is stored in the memory. The timing of the memory check is both after completion of forming an image of a present document page at the recording sheet transport speed and when storage of image data for the next document page is anticipated to start in the memory.

Abstract: When operating in a photocopier mode a first tray is first selected, and a second tray is then selected if there is no recording medium in the first tray. If recording medium is in the second tray but the size of the recording medium is not the same as the size of the recording medium loaded to the first tray, a notice indicating a size change is presented and recording is completed only if the user approves the size change using an operating panel.
