A holding device is provided with adapters capable of dealing with a case where the hollow shaft portions of a roll-like fixing medium differ in inner diameter. Thus, it is unnecessary to have a complete set of roll paper supporting members to be used every time the hollow shaft portions of the roll-like fixing medium differ in inner diameter. As the size of such an adapter can be made at least sm...

In a computer system (999), peripheral computers (901/902) with business applications (201/202) send alert messages (211/212) to a central computer (900) when a current variable exceeds a reference value. The central computer implements an alert server to notify (301) a target group of multiple users (1, 2, 3) via communication devices (903, 904, 905). The central computer escalates further notifi...
