A powder conveying device includes a drop conveyance passage, an intersecting conveyance passage, a conveying screw, and a floating member. Powder entering from an inflow port drops in the drop conveyance passage. The intersecting conveyance passage communicates with a lower end of the drop conveyance passage and extends in an intersecting direction that intersects the drop conveyance passage. The conveying screw is disposed in the intersecting conveyance passage and rotates in a specified direction to convey the powder in the intersecting direction. The floating member is movably installed in the drop conveyance passage and floats in the drop conveyance passage to move by contact with the conveying screw. The inflow port and the floating member interfere with each other to prevent the floating member from coming out of the inflow port of the drop conveyance passage.

A print setting extension application is provided to a client terminal as an application used for extending a function of a printer driver that issues a print job used for performing printing at a printer registered in a cloud print server via the cloud print server that registers a printer in accordance with an instruction transmitted when a user performs an operation on the printer side. The print setting extension application issues, as a print job for a cloud print, a print job that requires entry of a password on the printer side when printing is performed.

Application, printer driver, and information processing apparatus including a hash algorithm

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearer; a nip forming member configured to form a transfer nip between the image bearer and the nip forming member; a nip pressure changer configured to change a nip pressure of the transfer nip; a transfer bias applier configured to apply, to the transfer nip, a transfer bias in which an AC component is superimposed on a DC component; and a DC component adjuster configured to adjust the DC component in the transfer bias, according to the nip pressure that is changed by the nip pressure changer.

Transfer bias and pressure in an image forming apparatus

An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a first acquisition unit that acquires a user print setting for a user, a change unit that changes the user print setting based on per-user print restriction information, and an edition unit that edits print data based on the changed user print setting.

Information processing apparatus, processing method of information processing apparatus, and storage medium

Embodiments of the present disclosure are configured to allow a general user to select a preset setting as much as possible even when some of print setting items are lock-set by an administrator user. Accordingly, even when the print setting item is lock-set, the general user may select a preset setting as long as there is no conflict.

Printing system, printing method, and program

A print expansion application is downloaded by using, as a key, a printer Hardware Identifier (HWID) acquired when a printer driver to be commonly used in an operating system (OS) is installed, and the print expansion application is associated with the printer driver.

Information processing apparatus, server apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions. Executing the instructions by the processor causes the processor to perform operations. A virtual device on the information processing apparatus to transmit a print job to an image forming apparatus is selected. A user interface is displayed that is for activating, in accordance with the selected virtual device and among one or more applications to provide an additional function to the image forming apparatus, an application that corresponds to a model of the image forming apparatus to which the selected virtual device transmits the print job.

Information processing apparatus creates virtual printer to transmit print job to associated image forming apparatus which supports predetermined print format

A cleaning device cleans a discharge wire that discharges electric charge onto a discharge target. The cleaning device moves in a longitudinal direction oldie discharge wire. The cleaning device includes a first contact portion that contacts and cleans the discharge wire and a second contact portion that contacts and cleans the discharge wire. When the first contact portion and the second contact portion clean the discharge wire, the first contact portion and the second contact portion sandwich the discharge wire in a discharge direction in which the discharge wire discharges the electric charge onto the discharge target. The discharge direction is parallel to a radial direction of the discharge wire.

Cleaning device for cleaning a discharge wire, charger, and image forming apparatus

A developing device includes a developer bearer, a developer regulator, a developer supply passage, and a stopper. The developer bearer includes a magnetic field generator and is configured to bear a developer containing toner and magnetic carriers and conveys the developer to a developing area by rotation. A stopper prevents the developer blocked by the developer regulator from moving to a surface of the developer bearer, while securing a supply path for passing the developer in the developer supply passage to the developer bearer between the stopper and an upper end of a side wall of the developer supply passage that is opposite to the developing bearer. A width of the supply path in a direction perpendicular to a direction of a rotation axis of the developer bearer is in a range of 7%-10% of a circumference of an outer diameter of the developing bearer.

Developing device with a developer regulator and a stopper

A bot service in cooperation with a messaging service generates, in response to upload of a messaging service file from a messaging application, a message including a control used for specifying a print setting of the file and a preview image corresponding to a print setting specified by the control and submits the message to the messaging service. Further, in response to a print instruction for the file received from a messaging service, the bot service instructs a print service to print the file using a print setting specified by the control.

The camera side mount is brought, by relative rotation with the accessory side mount, from a first state where each accessory side bayonet claw is inserted between the camera side bayonet claws into a second state where the camera side and accessory side bayonet claws engage with each other. The leaf spring biasing the camera side contact pins in the protruding direction is disposed between the camera side mount and the camera body. When the camera being in the normal position is viewed from the direction facing the camera side mount, the leaf spring extends from both sides of the mount center line, which extends from the center of the camera side mount in the direction of gravity, toward the camera side contact pins. The camera side contact pins are arranged at positions other than a position on the mount center line.
