An image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a recording medium includes a display unit configured to perform display relating to a setting of image processing performed by the image forming apparatus, and a detection unit configured to detect a user's finger at a position separate from a surface of the display unit by a first distance in a vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of the display unit, and detect the user's finger at a position separate from the surface by a second distance longer than the first distance, wherein in a case where the display unit is in an off state, the display unit turns on when the detection unit detects the user's finger at the position separate from the surface by the second distance.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, a first communication portion for communicating with a portable terminal through near field wireless communication by using a first communication type in response to holding of the portable terminal thereover, a second communication portion, capable of communicating with the portable terminal on the basis of communication with the portable terminal by using the first communication type, for carrying out wireless communication with the portable terminal by using a second communication type broader in communication range than the first communication type, and a sound generating portion for generating a notification sound for notifying that communication between the portable terminal and the second communication portion is enabled in response to enablement of the communication between the portable terminal and the second communication portion.

A method of controlling an image forming system, the method including: determining whether or not a connection state enabling communication between an image forming apparatus and a second operation device has been established, in a case where an instruction is issued from a first operation device to the image forming apparatus; and displaying, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the connection state has been established, on a display of the first operation device, a selection screen for selection of whether or not the image forming apparatus is to be allowed to operate according to the instruction.

Method for controlling image forming system, displaying select screen, and allowing to change power modes according to instruction

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium, a display portion that displays information regarding image forming with the image forming portion, a memory storing instructions, and a controller, which executes the instructions, that detects a position of an instruction portion in contact with a surface of the display portion and generate first input information indicating the detected position of the instruction portion, and detects a position of the instruction portion at a location a predetermined distance away from the surface in a direction orthogonal to the surface and generate second input information indicating the detected position, and transitions the image forming apparatus into a first input mode for generating the first input information without generating the second input information and transition the image into a second input mode for generating the second input information without generating the first input information.

A controller determines that a signal from an operating device represents either a normal operation to manually control a blade or a trigger operation to automatically control the blade. The controller moves the blade so that the angle of the blade is changed in accordance with the operation of the operating device when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing a normal operation. The controller moves the blade until the angle of the blade reaches a predetermined target angle when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing the trigger operation while the bulldozer is traveling.

There is provided a work machine that can avoid an unintended movement of a blade. A crawler dozer includes a controller. The controller controls EPC valves. A left tilt cylinder and a right tilt cylinder are asymmetrically attached to a blade. The EPC valves control direction and flow rate of supply of hydraulic oil to the right tilt cylinder. The EPC valves control direction and flow rate of supply of the hydraulic oil to the left tilt cylinder. The controller controls the EPC valves and the EPC valves to extend or contract the left tilt cylinder and the right tilt cylinder at different rates.

Work machine

In a case where an image forming apparatus has entered into a sleep mode, a user is required to wait, after issuing an instruction for image formation via a wireless operation unit, until the image forming apparatus returns from the sleep mode to a standby mode, for the requested processing to be performed. Accordingly, an image forming system is provided that includes an image forming apparatus capable of transitioning between a standby mode and a sleep mode includes a wireless operation unit capable of performing wireless communication with the image forming apparatus, and that includes a counter for counting a time for determining timing of transition from the standby mode to the sleep mode, and a resetter capable of resetting a count value of the counter in response to a predetermined icon being selected in the wireless operation unit in the standby mode.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a travel device, a driving source, and a cooling device. The travel device is provided below the vehicle body. The driving source is disposed in a front part of the vehicle body. The driving source generates driving power for the travel device. The cooling device is disposed on one side in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle body and rearward of the driving source.

Work vehicle

A tractor includes an air cleaner and a passageway arranged to surround the air cleaner. Alternatively, tractor includes a maintenance equipment, an engine, a top plate covering the engine, and a floor section disposed at a position lower than the top plate and in a non-overlapping position with the engine as seen from above. In this tractor, the maintenance equipment is disposed on the floor section.

Tractor

A crawler belt-type tractor includes a vehicle body, a travel device, an engine, and a fuel tank. The travel device is attached to the vehicle body. The travel device includes a crawler belt. The engine generates driving power for driving the travel device. The fuel tank is disposed in a rear portion of the vehicle body. The fuel tank stores fuel for the engine. The rear end of the fuel tank is positioned rearward of the rear end of the crawler belt.

Crawler belt-type tractor

A lift cylinder is attached to a center part of a vehicle body in a vehicle width direction. The lift cylinder causes a work implement to move up and down. A supporting member is attached to the center part of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction and extends upward from the vehicle body. An imaging device is supported by the supporting member and captures images of a region in front of the vehicle body. A penetrating part is formed in the supporting member. The lift cylinder is disposed through the penetrating part.
