An image processing device includes a reception unit, an acquisition unit, and a setting unit. The reception unit receives image data that is not associated with language information. The acquisition unit acquires language information from a result of analysis of the image data received by the reception unit. The setting unit sets a language displayed on a display, based on the language information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Image processing device and non-transitory computer readable medium

A medium transport device includes a medium guide member, a driving source, a first movement member, a movement restricting member, and a second moving member. The medium guide member is movable between a first guide position, in which the medium guide member guides a medium toward a receiving member on which the medium is loaded, and a second guide position, in which the medium guide member guides the medium from the receiving member into the device. The driving source moves the medium guide member. The first movement member moves the medium guide member in accordance with an operation of the driving source. The movement restricting member is movable together with the medium guide member. The second moving member is movable between a first position, in which the second moving member is located close to the movement restricting member to restrict the medium guide member from moving from the second guide position to the first guide position, and a second position, in which the second moving member is spaced apart from the movement restricting member to allow the medium guide member to move to the first guide position. The second moving member moves from the first position to the second position when the medium guide member moves toward the first guide position in response to an operation of the driving source.

Medium transport device and image forming apparatus

A medium transport device includes a transporting member, a medium offsetting member, a guide member, and an interlocking member. The guide member is located upstream of the transporting member in a medium transport direction. The guide member is movable between a first position, in which the guide member guides the medium toward the medium accommodating member, and a second position, in which the guide member guides the medium to a destination different from the medium accommodating member, to guide the medium. The interlocking member moves the guide member between the first position and the second position in conjunction with a movement of the medium offsetting member in a width direction of the medium offsetting member.

A medium transport device includes a transporting member that transports a medium toward a medium accommodating member; a switching member that switches between a first guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to the medium accommodating member, and a second guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to a position different from the medium accommodating member, the switching member being movable between a first shift position and a second shift position in a width direction of the medium; and a movement member that moves the switching member to the first guide position to move the switching member to the first shift position, and that moves the switching member to the second guide position to move the switching member to the second shift position.
