Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plural image forming units each having a plural image forming sections, and an intermediate transfer body on which toner images formed by the plural image forming sections are primarily transferred; a plural secondary transfer units that are provided corresponding to the plural the image forming units, and secondarily transfer the toner images of the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium; and a processor configured to: in response to an instruction for adjusting misalignment of the toner images, execute a mode in which a first chart for checking amounts of misalignment between a toner image formed by a reference image forming section and the toner images formed by another image forming section, for each image forming unit, and a second chart for checking amounts of misalignment between toner images formed by the reference image forming sections of the plural image forming units are secondarily transferred to the recording medium and output, and an input of a fi

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where, during image formation using any of the image forming units among the image forming units, in a case where a consumable of any of the image forming sections of the image forming unit is insufficient, an image forming section of an identical color to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient is present in another image forming unit, and a storage medium for storing management information for managing a consumable unit is not provided in the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient, ask a user whether or not to exchange the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient and a consum

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which the processor is configured to, in a case where a printing instruction is received in a state in which an image forming section having a combination of identical colors is set for each of the plural image forming units, execute the printing instruction by using an image forming unit that is in a state in which image formation is able to be executed among the plural image forming units.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plural image forming units each having a plural image forming sections, and an intermediate transfer body on which toner images formed by the plural image forming sections are primarily transferred, a plural secondary transfer units that are provided corresponding to the plural image forming units, and secondarily transfer the toner images of the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium, and a processor, in which each image forming unit has the image forming section of the same color, and the processor is configured to: in response to an instruction to output a color chart of the same color, execute a mode in which the color chart of the toner image having a density of intermediate gradation, formed by the image forming section of the same color for each image forming unit, is secondarily transferred to the recording medium and output.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a dry composition having the following advantageous properties. That is, even when left in a highly humid environment, the dry composition of the present invention scarcely loses its pharmacological activity, does not deliquesce and retains its dry state over a long period of time. A dry composition of the present invention comprises at least one of active ingredients selected from the group consisting of pharmacologically active proteins and pharmacologically active polypeptides and as a stabilizer at least one of hydrophobic stabilizers selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic amino acids, hydrophobic dipeptides and hydrophobic tripeptides.

Abstract: This invention provides an aqueous composition wherein a hardly water-soluble active compound, 6-?3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)amino-2-hydroxypropoxy!carbostyril or a salt thereof is dissolved in water in an effective amount, particularly in an amount sufficient for exhibiting the pharmacological activities, by using as a solubilizer DL-lactic acid.

Abstract: The invention provides an automatic replacement system for automatically and efficiently replacing a bar cutter and a material transfer unit as well as all or part of plural dies and punches attached to a multi-stage press forming machine. The automatic replacement system includes a carrier for conveying tools between a multi-stage press station A including plural dies and punches and tool replacements stations B and C disposed in the vicinity of the press station A; first engagement means for detachable connecting a jig for conveying dies or punches with a material transfer unit; and second engagement means for detachable connecting the carrier with a bar cutter.
