A notification apparatus includes memory and a processor. The processor is configured to: store history of user operations in the memory; and, in response to detection of a first operation that does not satisfy a condition, notify a first user who has performed the first operation of information on a second user who has performed a second operation satisfying the condition, based on the history stored in the memory.

Notification apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information from an external apparatus that stores data; and a switching unit that, for each item of the data, switches between a first mode in which the acquisition unit acquires attribute information of the data from the external apparatus, and a second mode in which the acquisition unit acquires, from the external apparatus, information for displaying an image that indicates a feature of the data.

An image forming system includes: a first image forming apparatus that is disposed at an upstream side in a feeding direction of a belt-like continuous recording medium; and a second image forming apparatus that is disposed at a downstream side in the feeding direction of the recording medium, wherein each of the first image forming apparatus and the second image forming apparatus includes: a recording head that forms images on the recording medium by ejecting droplets from ejection outlets of the recording head; a closing member that serves to close the ejection outlets; and a controller that monitors head drive data for driving of the recording head, and closes the ejection outlets with the closing member in case a droplets non-ejection state is beyond a predetermined first allowable condition during printing.

Image forming system and image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit that receives an instruction for an operation and executes the operation, and an instruction unit that outputs the instruction to the operation unit. The operation unit includes a configuration storage unit that stores deployment configuration of one or more image forming apparatuses, and an instruction acceptance unit that accepts an instruction for an operation corresponding to the deployment configuration. The instruction unit includes an instruction output unit that receives a designation of an operation, and outputs an instruction for the designated operation to the operation unit, and a configuration reporting unit that, if the designated operation does not correspond to a first deployment configuration stored in the configuration storage unit, reports to the operation unit a second deployment configuration to which the designated operation corresponds, and stores the second deployment configuration in the configuration storage unit, before the instruction is output.

Provided is a printing device including a print data receiving unit, a page calculation unit that calculates a number of pages before stopping with using a page length of received print data and a distance from a printing mechanism unit to a visual recognition unit, a print instruction unit that changes the number of pages before stopping or a number of printed pages and performs print processing when the received print data corresponds to a control page for controlling printing, and a print stop unit that stops printing when the number of printed pages coincides with the number of pages before stopping.

Printing system with visual recognition unit

An image forming apparatus including an image forming apparatus and an image checking apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a transport control unit which transports a recording medium at a transport speed, and forms an image on the recording medium. The image checking apparatus includes a transport-speed acquisition unit, a detector, a reading unit, and an operation-state notification unit. The transport-speed acquisition unit acquires transport-speed information from the image forming apparatus. The detector detects a mark shown on the recording medium. The reading unit reads a checking-target image formed by the image forming apparatus at a position distant from the mark, on the basis of the transport-speed information and information concerning a positional relationship between the mark and the checking-target image. The operation-state notification unit notifies the image forming apparatus of an operation state of the image checking apparatus.
