摘要:
The described equipment controlling apparatus is adapted for controlling communication between an image formation apparatus (100) for recording an image on a recording medium and external apparatus (999) located at a position apart from said equipment controlling apparatus (800) and said image formation apparatus; it comprises storage means for storing data indicative of a state of the image formation apparatus, communication means for communicating with the external apparatus (999) and transmission instruction means for instructing transmission of the stored data to said external apparatus. It is characterized in that said data comprise a total count value of image formation operations at the time of an abnormality in said image formation apparatus and a type of the abnormality.
摘要:
A machine managing apparatus (999) for concentratively managing conditions of a machine (100) and in particular an apparatus for monitoring an image-forming apparatus comprises communication control means (900), connected to an image-forming control means performing the control of an image-forming operation of a main body of the image-forming apparatus, for controlling transmission and reception performed via a communication line (908) to and from an external apparatus, and inhibit means for inhibiting the transmission from the communication control means to the external apparatus in order to prevent damaged data from being transmitted to the external apparatus, said damaged data being such that when a power supply of the image-forming control means is turned off during transfer of data from the image-forming control means to the communication control means, the data results in a loss.

A sheet handling apparatus is provided, which is comprised of a plurality of inserter trays for stacking thereon insert sheets to be inserted between recording sheets having images formed thereon. Sheet feeding modes for feeding insert sheets include two kinds, i.e. S-stacking mode and F-stacking mode, that can be set by a mode key displayed on a sheet feeding mode setting screen view. In the S-stacking mode, only first-page insert sheets are stacked on a first inserter tray, and only second-page insert sheets and third-page insert sheets are stacked on second and third inserter trays, respectively. In the F-stacking mode, insert sheets are stacked in order of page on an inserter tray. Sheet feeding is suitably controlled by stacking insert sheets on inserter trays in manners corresponding to respective selected stacking modes.

It is intended to obtain outputs of insert sheets suitable for an inserter without delay. Thus, it is controlled to sort sheets on which pages of an image, being the print object in a mode to output the sheets to be set to an inserter provided in another apparatus having such the inserter, of first type in a series of images having plural pages were formed respectively, on the basis of information based on the inserter provided in the another apparatus.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus such as a copier with a detachable process cartridge (39) is provided with a first memory (102) for storing the number of copying operations; a count renewing unit for increasing the count of the first memory and a second memory (104) in the process cartridge, at each copying operation, a comparator for comparing the counts in the first and second memories, and a controller (101) for determining a process condition specific to the process cartridge in case the counts do not mutually coincide. The service life of the process cartridge (39) can be more precisely judged, and the process condition can be more appropriately determined for each process cartridge.

摘要:
A CPU circuit unit of a copying machine judges based on image data read by a reading unit whether or not the image data represents a color image, and controls according to the judged result whether or not image forming of the image data is to be performed, whereby an operation to be performed by a user when plural originals mixedly including color originals and black/white originals are copied can be simplified.
摘要:
An image fixing apparatus (20) includes a resistor for generating heat upon electric energy supply thereto; a temperature sensor (46) for sensing a temperature of the resistor; control means for controlling the electric energy supply to the resistor so that the temperature sensor (46) detects a target temperature, in accordance with both of a temperature of the resistor and a resistance of the resistor.
