A timing specifying device includes count processing circuitry to count an input reference clock; and timing control circuitry configured to set a parameter having an integer part and a fractional part in the count processing circuitry. The count processing circuitry counts the reference clock, outputs a timing signal indicating that a time corresponding to an integer value has passed, and counts a value corresponding to the fractional part at a timing at which the timing signal is output. The integer value is a value indicated by the integer part. The count processing circuitry stops counting of the reference clock when a value obtained by counting the value corresponding to the fractional part carries over from a fraction.
This transaction device is provided with a processor. The processor is configured to: cause respective pieces of financial institution software of a plurality of financial institutions to virtually start up on base software; and when the financial institution to be used is designated, cause the financial institution software of said financial institution to be operated so that transaction processing that can be provided via an own transaction device of said financial institution is executed.
A problem is to improve the protection performance of a light shielding detection sensor when detachably mounting a medium storage of a medium handling device. The problem is resolved by a medium handling device comprising: a medium storage that stores a medium, and a medium storage mounting slot for detachably mounting the medium storage into the device in the detachable mounting direction, wherein the medium storage mounting slot includes a U-shaped light shielding detection sensor that has a light shielding detection space and detects light shielding when the medium storage is in a predetermined state, the medium storage includes a light-shielding member for light-shielding the light shielding detection space of the light shielding detection sensor when the medium storage is in the predetermined state, a gap is formed in a predetermined direction between the medium storage and the medium storage mounting slot, and the medium storage mounting slot further includes a guide that guides the light-shielding member so that the light-shielding member does not collide with the light shielding detection sensor when the medium storage is detachably mounted at an angle with respect to the direction in which the gap has been formed.
An image carrier according to one or more embodiments may include: a cylindrical image carrier member including an outer circumferential surface formed with an image carrier layer configured to carry a developer image; one or more silencers disposed in the image carrier member; and a bonding member that bonds the one or more the silencers to an inner circumferential surface of the image carrier member. For each silencer, the inner circumferential surface of the image carrier member includes one or more bonding areas to which the bonding member is attached. A bonding range, in which the one or more bonding areas are fit, for each silencer, has a length thereof in an axial direction of the silencer being greater than a length thereof in a circumferential direction of the silencer.
An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a determination unit, a power mode setting unit, an input process unit, and a registration unit. The communication unit receives a communication packet. The determination unit determines whether the communication packet received by the communication unit in a second power mode of first and the second power modes meets at least one of a plurality of determination conditions included in determination condition information. The second power mode is lower in electric power consumption than the first power mode. The power mode setting unit switches a power mode from the second power mode to the first power mode on the basis of a result of determination performed by the determination unit. The input process unit receives user operation. The registration unit registers the determination conditions in the determination condition information on the basis of the user operation received by the input process unit.
An image forming apparatus includes: a cover; a power supply that supplies a drive system supply voltage and a control system supply voltage in an operating mode, and that supplies the control system supply voltage without supplying the drive system supply voltage in a power saving mode; an interlock switch including a first terminal that receives the drive system supply voltage, a second terminal that receives the control system supply voltage, and a third terminal connected to a line for supplying the drive system supply voltage to an image forming portion, the interlock switch connecting the first and third terminals when the cover is closed, and connecting the second and third terminals when the cover is open; and a detector that, when the control system supply voltage is applied to the line in the power saving mode, stores information indicating that the cover has been opened.
A lustrous developer according to an embodiment may include: a metallic pigment; and a binder resin. The lustrous developer includes small diameter particles smaller than a volume median diameter of the metallic pigment. A ratio of a volume of particles other than the small diameter particles in the lustrous developer to a volume of the entire lustrous developer is 90.297% or more and 99.314% or less. The volume median diameter of the metallic pigment is 5.91 μm or less.
An image forming apparatus includes a cutting part cutting a medium, a transfer part arranged on a downstream side of the cutting part in a carrying direction and transfers a developer image to the medium; a flexure forming part having a guide part and forms a flexure of the medium by bending the medium between the cutting part and the transfer part in the carrying direction; and an opposing part that is arranged opposing the flexure forming part via a carrying path through which the medium is carried, wherein the guide part performs a retreat movement either before or after the cutting part starts to cut the medium, wherein the retreat movement is a movement of the guide part in which the guide part moves in a direction away from the opposing part.
