A harvesting machine includes a harvesting part provided forward of a machine body, and harvests crops in a farm field; and a plurality of crop sensors provided in the harvesting part at intervals in a left-right direction, and detect the presence of crops upon coming into contact with the crops. The harvesting machine may also include a harvesting width detector that detects a harvesting width corresponding to crops harvested through harvesting work that has actually been performed, included in a workable width within which harvesting work can be performed by the harvesting part; and a travel transmission unit that changes the travel speed of the machine body. The harvesting machine may also include a speed controller that shifts the travel transmission unit to a lower speed as the harvesting width increases, and shifts the travel transmission unit to a higher speed as the harvesting width decreases.

An image processing apparatus according to the present invention has: an apparatus main body whose external appearance is configured from an upper casing, a lower casing, and a link casing that vertically links the upper casing and the lower casing and that has a paper discharge opening for discharging paper on one side face; a paper discharge portion that is formed as a space between the upper casing and the lower casing and that is to store paper discharged from the paper discharge opening; and an operation panel portion that is disposed in a vertically tiltable manner on a front face of the upper casing. When viewing the apparatus main body from the front side, an open space that allows paper discharged to the paper discharge portion to be viewed is provided between the operation panel portion and the link casing.

Image processing apparatus

An image forming apparatus allowing a user to easily access an operating section even in a large-size apparatus can be provided. An image forming apparatusincludes a main machineincluding an operating sectionand capable of functioning as a multifunction machine by itself, and at least one option machinetoadded to a side-face side of an enclosureof the main machine. The apparatusincludes the operating sectionat a fixed position in the width direction of the enclosure. The enclosure has a unified first color of a same tone at a front face thereof, and an operating position lineis formed at a part of the front face of the enclosure and has a second color that is clearly different from the first color so as to be a guide indicating a position of the operating section

Copier

An electronic seal apparatus causing an image displaying/reading apparatus to display an electronic document. The electronic seal apparatus includes (i) a storage section for storing a first identification information of a user's first digit and an associated user's first seal image, (ii) a digit identifying section for determining whether a digit indicated on a subject image is the user's first digit, and (iii) a sealing section for sealing onto the electronic document, when the digit indicated on the subject image is the user's first digit, a seal image associated with the first identification information. Thereby, a seal image can be electronically sealed after finger authentication is performed even if a finger authentication scanner solely dedicated for reading an image from a digit is not provided.

Electronic copying machine

An image forming apparatus comprising: a document reading section that can read an image of a document; a document-type determining section that can extract, when the image includes a finishing mark or a characteristic form, the finishing mark or the characteristic form as a characteristic portion from the readout document image, and can determine, based on the extracted characteristic portion, a type of the finishing or a type of the document; a processing deciding section that decides, based on the determined type of the finishing or the determined type of the document, a type of finishing to be performed to a medium to be output or a type of image processing to be performed to an image to be output; and a processor that performs finishing of the type decided by the processing deciding section to the medium to be output or image processing of the type decided by the processing deciding section to the image to be output.
