A method for producing a carboxylic acid by a fermentation process which comprises culturing a methanol-assimilating bacterium capable of producing the carboxylic acid in a liquid medium containing methanol and a counter ion to produce and accumulate the carboxylic acid in the medium, further comprising the feeding of a substance comprising methanol and a counter ion to the medium by fed-batch culturing to maintain the total ionic strength within the fermentation medium at or below a certain level.

Upon reaction of data from a host computer, an image forming apparatus analyzes the data, and maps bitmap images onto corresponding image memories in accordance with the analysis result. When it is determined that the data includes a barcode image, non-barcode image data mapped on the black image memory is OR-mapped onto the cyan, magenta, and yellow image memories. The barcode image is mapped onto the black image memory to print.

Image forming apparatus and method for selecting print heads especially for barcodes

A label printer performs recording on a roll label comprising a number of label sheets bonded in succession on a release sheet. The printer utilizes an ink jet method to attain a smaller size and to print information accurately. The printer comprises a conveyance section for conveying the label roll to an ink jet print head, an ink supply section for supplying ink to the head, and a recovery unit for making the head performance stable. A conveyance surface of the label roll is made substantially horizontal, with the ink jet print head and the recovery unit disposed above the surface and the ink supply section disposed underneath the surface.
