Display

A display-and-operation device includes a housing, a display operation panel, a plurality of wireless communicators, and a control board. The display operation panel forms a display operation screen on an outer surface of the housing. The plurality of wireless communicators are included in the housing and each having an antenna to perform wireless communication with a communication object. The control board controls the display operation panel. The control board is included in the housing. The plurality of wireless communicators are arranged on a same side of the display operation screen.

Display-and-operation device and image forming apparatus

A display-and-operation device includes a housing, a display operation panel, a wireless communicator, a control board, and a holder. The display operation panel forms a display operation screen on an outer surface of the housing. The wireless communicator is included in the housing and includes an antenna to perform wireless communication with a communication object. The control board is included in the housing, to control the display operation panel. The holder is included in the housing. The holder holds the display operation panel. The housing includes an opening through which the wireless communicator is removable to an outside of the housing and a lid to open and close the opening. At least a part of the wireless communicator is arranged outside an outer peripheral edge of at least one of the control board and the holder when viewed from a side at which the display operation screen is disposed.

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body, a wall face of the apparatus body having an ejection opening from which a sheet conveyed in a first direction is ejected, a sheet support to support the sheet discharged from the discharge opening in the first direction, and a mount to mount the sheet support to the apparatus body. The mount includes an abutting portion including an abutting face that contacts a wall face of the apparatus body, and a projection projecting in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the abutting face. The abutting face extends in a vertically downward direction from the projection, and the projection is fixed to the apparatus body in a vertical direction.

Image forming apparatus

A video-conference table and a video-conference system. The video-conference table includes an imaging device disposed outside facing space that faces an object to be captured on a holding surface. The imaging device is configured to capture the object to be captured held on the holding surface, in a slanting direction with reference to a normal-line direction of the holding surface. The video-conference table further includes an image processing device configured to perform image processing including correcting image data obtained by capturing of the imaging device to image data obtained when the surface of the object to be captured is captured in a normal-line direction of the holding surface. The video-conference system includes the video-conference table coupled to an attachment having a surface approximately flush with the holding surface in a horizontal direction.

Video-conference table and video-conference system

An image forming apparatus includes a display and an image forming unit. The display includes a display screen to display a preview image before an image is formed on a recording medium. The image forming unit forms, on the recording medium, an image corresponding to the preview image displayed on the display screen. Each of a vertical length and a horizontal length of the display screen is equal to or greater than a length of a long side of a maximum size recording medium on which an image is to be formed by the image forming unit.

A toner container detachably attached to a toner-container holder of a main body of an image forming apparatus includes a container body that includes an opening, and discharges toner contained in the container body, from the opening; and a held portion that is held by the toner-container holder in a non-rotating manner. The held portion includes an open/close member for opening/closing the toner outlet in synchronization with an attachment/detachment operation of the held portion to/from the toner-container holder.

Printer

An image forming apparatus includes a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit, and a remaining-recording-medium detector. The first light-emitting unit is arranged on an outer surface of a recording medium setting unit on which recording media are set, and emits light while the recording media are being conveyed from the recording medium setting unit. The second light-emitting unit is arranged on or near an operating member that is to be operated when a recording medium jammed in a main body of the image forming apparatus is removed. The remaining-recording-medium detector detects presence or absence of a recording medium remaining in the main body of the image forming apparatus. The second light-emitting unit emits light when the operating member needs to be operated, based on a result of detection by the remaining-recording-medium detector. The first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit emit light in different manners.

An image forming apparatus includes a recording medium storage unit that stores therein a recording medium; an image forming unit that is arranged above the recording medium storage unit and that forms an image on the recording medium transferred from the recording medium storage unit; a storage-unit exterior member that covers a front side of the recording medium storage unit; an image-forming-unit exterior member that covers a front side of the image forming unit and that protrudes forward relative to the storage-unit exterior member; and a fresh air supply path that is arranged on a back side of the image-forming-unit exterior member, through which fresh air introduced from outside the image forming apparatus flows.

An image forming apparatus includes an operating member operated by an operator to give an instruction on operation; a top exterior member that is formed with a holding recess in which the operating member is arranged; a first mounting part provided on the holding recess, on which the operating member is mounted in a first posture in which the operating member is inclined by a first inclination angle with respect to the top exterior member; and a second mounting part provided in the holding recess, on which the operating member is mounted in a second posture in which the operating member is inclined by a second inclination angle different from the first inclination angle with respect to the top exterior member. The operating member is configured to be selectively mounted either on the first mounting part or on the second mounting part with use of a mounting member.

An image forming apparatus includes an insertion entrance through which a toner container is inserted, and an entrance peripheral wall surrounding the insertion entrance and including an upper wall and a projecting bottom wall projecting beyond the upper wall to an upstream side in an insertion direction in which the toner container is inserted. The toner container includes a toner outlet in a substantially center portion of a bottom of the toner container in a width direction perpendicular to the insertion direction and a shutter to open and close the toner outlet. A recess recessed in the insertion direction is provided in a center portion of the projecting bottom wall in the width direction, and the recess in the projecting bottom wall is longer than the shutter in the width direction.

An operating section structure positioned forward of a document scanning unit. The operating section structure includes: an image display surface; and an authentication device placement surface for mounting a detachable authentication device at an angle different from the image display surface.
