摘要:
Correction data is produced for density errors in prints produced using a printer (100). While printing a test image, the periods of rotation of one or more rotatable imaging members (25, 55) arranged along a receiver feed path in the printer are measured using respective period sensors (51). The printed test image is measured in both the cross-track and in-track directions and a two dimensional map of the density for the one or more period sensors is determined. A reproduction error signal representing deviation from aim density is determined. The variations from the data at measured periods in one or both directions are used to produce a correction signal.
摘要:
A dynamic positional shifting, in the process direction, of the images on the second print engine of a tandem machine printing system in order to increase the time (and number of prints) between skipped pitches. Although the photoreceptor belts of each print engine may be out-of-phase, the relative positions of their individual seam zones may be derived during cycle-up. A control procedure then optimizes the position and spacing of each image within each belt revolution of the second engine, while still maintaining the minimum inter-document zone (IDZ) length required for paper path feeding and registration, xerographic process controls, and finishing. Removing the constraints of fixed-dimension IDZ's, as well as being able to adjust spacing and length of individual images on the belt, allows for optimization of system productivity by either delaying or eliminating the need for a skipped pitch.

An image forming apparatus (100) includes a first reading device (101) which reads a reference image formed on a sheet, a second reading device (40) which reads a reference image formed on an image carrier, a control device (208) which can execute a first control process for adjusting image formation conditions based on a density of the reference image acquired from a read result of the first reading device, and a second control process for adjusting the image formation conditions based on a density of the reference image acquired from a read result of the second reading device, wherein the control device executes the second control process before performing image formation based on the image data when the first control process has not been executed in a period from when mounting of the unit configuring the image forming device is detected when image formation is performed.

An image forming apparatus includes a coordinate converter (112) that corrects an image position in one pixel unit by converting a coordinate, a gradation value converter (113) that corrects the image position in less-than-one pixel unit by converting a gradation value, an image outputting unit (121) that forms a detection toner image including an intermediate gradation pixel onto an image bearing member that can bear a toner image, and a light reflection characteristic detector (122) that detects a light reflection characteristic of the detection toner image. The gradation value converter is adjusted in accordance with a detection output of the light reflection characteristic detector.
