An image reading apparatus includes a transport unit, a reader, a detector, and a controller. The transport unit transports a document. The reader reads the transported document. The detector detects whether or not a document bundle prior to being transported is present. While a document in a first document bundle corresponding to a first job is being transported, if the detector detects that a document in a second document bundle corresponding to a second job as a subsequent job is loaded, the controller actuates the transport unit until all documents in the first document bundle are output.

An image reading apparatus includes a transport unit, a reader, a detector, and a controller. The transport unit transports a document. The reader reads the transported document. The detector detects whether or not a document bundle prior to being transported is present. While a document in a first document bundle corresponding to a first job is being transported, if the detector detects that a document in a second document bundle corresponding to a second job as a subsequent job is loaded, the controller changes pre-feeding operation for preliminarily pulling a document in the second document bundle into the image reading apparatus in accordance with a pull-in position of the document in the image reading apparatus.

A consumables management system includes: a service providing device side communication unit that performs communication relevant to consumption information of a consumable item with a mobile device present within a communication area set in advance corresponding to a service providing device; a mobile device side communication unit that is mounted in the mobile device and performs communication relevant to the consumption information with the service providing device side communication unit in a case where the mobile device is present within the communication area; and a notification unit that notifies an administrator possessing the mobile device that a remaining amount of the consumable item mounted in the service providing device has been reduced to a predetermined threshold remaining amount or less in a case where it is determined that the remaining amount of the consumable item has been reduced to the threshold remaining amount or less.

A printer includes a receiver, an inserter, and a sort controller. The receiver receives print data. In response to detection of a change in a reception condition for receiving the print data by the receiver, the inserter inserts separator information between a print data portion received before the detection and a print data portion received after the detection, and thereby generates print data including the separator information inserted thereinto. In response to detection of the separator information from the print data including the separator information inserted thereinto that is sequentially input from the inserter, the sort controller performs control to sort a printout of a print data portion after the detected separator information from a printout of a print data portion before the detected separator information.

An information processing system includes a first display unit, a second display unit, and a control unit. If the first display unit that displays first operating instruction information indicating explanation of an operation receives an instruction to display second operating instruction information indicating explanation of a next operation, the control unit displays the second operating instruction information on the second display unit, and hides the first operating instruction information that is displayed on the first display unit.
