A liquid ejecting apparatus, including: a liquid tank; an image recorder; a liquid bottle attachable to and removable from the liquid; a remaining-amount detecting sensor; a notifying device; a storage; and a controller configured to: determine a liquid remaining amount in the liquid bottle based on a detection signal from the remaining-amount detecting sensor, in a state in which the liquid bottle is attached to the liquid tank; store, in the storage, the determined liquid remaining amount in the liquid bottle; and control the notifying device based on the liquid remaining amount in the liquid bottle stored in the storage to notify a user of remaining-amount information relating to the liquid remaining amount in the liquid bottle.

Liquid ejecting apparatus

A communication device, including: a touch sensor configured to detect a touch or an approach of an input object by detecting a change in capacitance; and a near field communicator configured to perform near field communication with an information processing terminal present in a communication area in which near field communication is possible, the information processing terminal being capable of performing the near field communication, wherein a distance within which the touch or the approach of the input object is detectable by the touch sensor is shorter than a distance within which the near field communication by the near field communicator with the information processing terminal is possible.

Communication device and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program for controlling the communication device

A communication device, including: a near field communicator configured to perform near field communication with an information processing terminal; a display configured to display an image; and a controller configured to execute specific processing in which the controller obtains data from the information processing terminal utilizing the near field communication and executes process in accordance with the obtained data, wherein the controller is configured to determine, when an image is being displayed on the display, whether displayed-image-based processing that is processing in accordance with the image displayed on the display is the specific processing, and wherein the controller is configured to inactivate a communication function of the near field communicator if it is determined that the displayed-image-based processing is not the specific processing and to activate the communication function of the near field communicator if it is determined that the displayed-image-based processing is the specific processing.

An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus is capable of executing a plurality of processing operations on input data and includes: a selection detecting unit configured to detect a selecting operation of a plurality of processing operations from among the plurality of processing operations; an operation information storing unit configured to store a plurality of processing operation information for specifying the processing operations detected by the selection detecting unit, respectively; a setting unit configured to set the plurality of processing operation information stored in the operation information storing unit, as a plurality of processing operations which are collectively executed in response to an execution instruction input to an instructing unit; and an executing unit configured to execute the plurality of processing operations corresponding to the plurality of processing operation information set by the setting unit, in response to the execution instruction.

Imaging processing apparatus, image processing system and image processing program

A facsimile apparatus, including: a receiving device which receives facsimile information; an identifying information providing portion which provides identifying information for identifying the facsimile information received by the receiving portion; a facsimile information storing device which stores the facsimile information and the identifying information provided by the identifying information providing portion in a state in which the identifying information is corresponded to the facsimile information; an outputting controlling section which controls at least one of a display device and an outputting device to output the facsimile information corresponded to the identifying information; an outputted information storing device which stores outputted information indicating that the facsimile information has already been outputted by the outputting controlling section; and an informing section which informs the outputted information stored in the outputted information storing device, in a state in which the outputted information is combined with the identifying information corresponded to the outputted information.

Facsimile apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a set value group; an executing unit configured to execute a function using the set value group; a history storing unit configured to store history information including the set value group having been used in an execution of the function; a displaying unit configured to display the history information and an operation image corresponding to an operating portion; a specifying unit configured to specify history information and operation image designated by the user; and an assigning unit configured to assign a set value group corresponding to the specified history information to the operating portion corresponding to the specified operation image specified. When a predetermined operation is carried out for the operating portion corresponding to the operation image, the setting unit sets the set value group assigned to the operating portion.

Information processing apparatus

A data volume of a data transferred from a ROM to a RAM corresponds to a data volume specified by a data volume information included in a program data. By setting the data volume specified by the data volume information as the data volume of the program data to be transferred, only the program data having the data volume specified by the data volume information can be transferred from the ROM to the RAM. Therefore, an excessive data transfer may not be performed, and the time required for booting a system may not be increased. Also, only by changing the data volume specified by the data volume information, the data volume of the data to be transferred to the RAM can be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, the flexibility to create a program or a program for upgrade is expanded, and a burden imposed on a creator is reduced.
