    摘要: The image forming apparatus according aspects of the present disclosure includes an image processor, a storage, a network interface and a controller. The controller is configured to update, at the setting update time, setting data and update the setting update time in response to completion of update of the setting data. Further, the controller is configured to determine, at a connection start time when a connection between the network interface and a server is established, whether the connection start time is later than the setting update time, and, when the connection start time is later than the setting update time, update the setting data, otherwise not update the setting data.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus, having a mobile input function and a remote input function, includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller. After starting to provide one of the input functions, the controller sends display data to an operation terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the operation terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the operation terminal. While the mobile input function is being provided, the controller does not display a local operation screen on the touch panel. While the remote input function is being provided, the controller displays the local operation screen on the touch panel, and updates, in response to receiving operation data from the operation terminal via the network interface, display contents on the local operation screen, based on an operation indicated by the received operation data.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes a controller configured to control an image scanner to scan a document sheet and generate target image data, generate an original histogram of an index value representing a luminance of each pixel forming the target image data, determine whether a particular condition is satisfied that includes a requirement that a difference value between an orientation of the document sheet and a reference orientation in the image scanning process is equal to or larger than a particular value, when the particular condition is satisfied, calculating a count of out-of-document pixels other than pixels representing an image of the document sheet, generate an adjusted histogram by subtracting at least a part of the count of the out-of-document pixels from frequencies of index values within a particular range in the original histogram, setting a specific threshold of the index value for binarization processing, based on the adjusted histogram.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to provide a mobile input function that enables the image forming apparatus to accept input operations from a mobile terminal via a network interface. After starting to provide the mobile input function, the controller sends display data to the mobile terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the mobile terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the mobile terminal. The controller displays a standby screen including a particular operable object on a touch panel when the mobile input function is not provided. When the particular operable object is operated, the controller switches the standby screen to a local operation screen. In response to accepting an operation on the local operation screen, the controller performs a corresponding process depending on what kind of operation has been performed on the local operation screen.

    摘要: In an image analyzing apparatus, a controller in a first analyzing process performs: sequentially identifying line pixel groups from a first side in a first direction; and determining whether a first-type pixel not contiguous to a first subject group constituted by at least one first-type pixel contiguous to each other in a second direction is present in a first region surrounding the first subject group, using first relevant information relating to each line pixel group located on the first side. In a second analyzing process, the controller performs: sequentially identifying the line pixel groups from a second side in the first direction; and determining whether the first-type pixel not contiguous to the first subject group is present in a second region surrounding the first subject group, using second relevant information relating to each line pixel group located on a second side.

    摘要: An image analyzing apparatus includes a controller. In a first analyzing process, the controller performs: sequentially identifying line pixel groups from a first side toward a second side in a first direction; when identifying an m1th line pixel group, creating m1th first distance information corresponding to the m1th line pixel group based on m1−1th pixel information corresponding to an m1−1th line pixel group and on m1−1th first distance information corresponding to the m1−1th line pixel group; and when the m1th line pixel group contains a first subject group constituted by at least one first-type pixel contiguous to each other in the second direction each as the first-type pixel, determining, based on the created m1th first distance information, whether the first-type pixel not contiguous to the first subject group is present in a first region surrounding the first subject group.
