A technique that prevents an unnecessary notification to a user. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to execute a control method including a reception step of receiving an event generated in a device, a setting step of setting a user who is a destination of a notification based on the event received in the reception step according to a type of the event received in the reception step, first information showing a group for each type of an event, and second information showing a group for each user, and a notification step of transmitting a notification based on the event received in the reception step to the user set in the setting step.

Storage medium storing program causing computer of information processing apparatus to execute control method for setting a user as a destination of a notification of an event, control method for information processing apparatus, and information processing system

An information processing system includes a controller configured to control information of which is notified to a mobile terminal. The controller performs control to cause a notification unit to notify the mobile terminal of first information in a case where the mobile terminal in a first environment has succeeded in authentication with the first authentication method, notify the mobile terminal of the first information and second information in a case where the mobile terminal in a second environment has succeeded in the authentication with the first authentication method, and notify the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the mobile terminal in the first environment has succeeded in the authentication with the first authentication method and has further succeeded in authentication with the second authentication method.

An information processing apparatus that is capable of managing information about operations preceding start of usage of a function while associating with information about operations performed between the start and end of usage of the function. The information processing apparatus includes an operation panel, a display control unit, and a recording unit. The operation panel has a display function and accepts an operation from a user. The display control unit controls the operation panel so as to display an operation object that causes to execute a predetermined function on a screen of the operation panel. The recording unit records information about events concerning operations performed between start and end of the predetermined function and information about an event preceding the start of the predetermined function into a storage unit while associating them to each other.

An image reading apparatus including a shading correction mechanism that can be formed by fewer component parts than conventional ones, and is increased in the degree of freedom of design, thereby enabling reduction of the size and weight thereof. A contact glass guides an original to an image reading position. A glass holding member holds the glass. A line image sensor reads an image on the original conveyed to the image reading location, through the contact glass. A reference member is disposed at a location different from the image reading location on the contact glass. A moving mechanism relatively moves the line image sensor and the reference member so that the line image sensor can alternatively read the original conveyed to the image reading location and the reference member. A drive section externally drives the moving mechanism to move the line image sensor and/or the reference member.

Image reading apparatus, shading correction method therefor, and program for implementing the method

An image reading apparatus which is capable of performing accurate shading correction with simple arrangement while preventing a reference member from being scratched and preventing paper powder and the like dust from being deposited on the reference member. The image reading apparatus includes an image reading unit in which a contact glass guides an original on an image reading location. The contact glass is held by a glass holding member. A line image sensor reads the image on the original conveyed on the image reading location, through the contact glass. The image reading unit further includes a reference member whose image is readable by the image sensor, and a moving mechanism to move the image sensor so as to enable the image sensor to alternatively read the original and a reference surface of the reference member.

Image reading apparatus, image reading unit thereof, and reference member thereof for shading correction

A sheet discharge tray that can improve width direction alignment of discharged sheets of various sizes with a simple structure. Ribs are disposed on a sheet discharge tray. And a space between at least a pair of adjacent ribs among the ribs at a discharging direction upstream end portion is narrower than a space between the at least two adjacent ribs at a discharging direction downstream end portion.

Sheet discharge tray, as well as sheet conveying apparatus, image forming apparatus, and image reading apparatus having the sheet discharge tray

A sheet feeding apparatus in which after a bundle of sheets is placed in an erect posture on a sheet supporting stand, the bundle of sheets placed on the sheet supporting stand is continuously vibrated upward and downward for a predetermined time, and is moved in a sheet feeding direction by an aligning portion to be hit against a hitting portion, and the bottom edges and the side edges of the bundle of sheets are accordingly aligned.

This specification discloses a sheet feeding device for feeding a sheet comprising sheet supporting means for supporting the sheet thereon, a sheet feeding roller for contacting with the sheet supported on the sheet supporting means and feeding the sheet, and cleaning means for contacting with that portion of the sheet feeding roller which contacts with the sheet, and cleaning the contacting portion, the sheet feeding roller having a cut-away portion which does not contact with the sheet, secondary cleaning means for cleaning the cleaning means being provided in the cut-away portion. The specification also discloses an image forming apparatus provided with such sheet feeding device.

The present invention relates to a mechanism for solving problems involved in miniaturizing a disk driving apparatus. A pin provided on a latch lever for latching a cassette guide has a movement restricting part on its top to prevent the pin and a stopper from disengaging from each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of disk insertion. When a cassette is placed in an ejected state wherein the amount of projection of the cassette from a panel is approximately the same as the amount of projection of a push button from the panel, a recess formed in the pin and the stopper engage with each other so that the cassette can be reliably ejected. Further, the cassette guide has, on opposite sides thereof, inserting guides for guiding insertion of the cassette, and a portion corresponding to a movement path portion for a head is eliminated from the cassette guide to form a space which serves as a movement path space for the head. The inserting guide of the cassette guide, which is positioned on a side on which the space is formed, has a projection on its rearmost end portion so that the cassette can be supported on the projection.
