摘要:
A sheet path velocity profile signature analysis apparatus which utilizes output from various idler rolls (82) throughout the machine paper path to detect abnormalities. The idler rolls (82) are in frictional contact with device rolls (84) defining therewith a nip through which individual sheets pass. The idler rolls (82) are coupled to an encoder (86) for generating a signal as a function of the rotational speed of the idler rolls (82). The constantly monitored and instantaneous velocity readings are compared with a base line velocity signature established at the factory. If the constantly monitored velocity profile is not within the pre-established operating parameters as set at the factory, automatic machine adjustment procedures are initiated and/or automatic service alerts are issued. The ability to constantly monitor the velocity profile throughout the machine enables preventative maintenance to occur and worn drive rolls, idler rolls and other transport devices can be replaced before catastrophic failure.
摘要:
A copy machine includes a photoreceptor (10) for storing a document image, a transfer station (D) for transferring a stored document image to a sheet of copy paper at a transfer location, a supply tray (33) for storing a quantity of copy sheets (31), transport rollers (17, 19) for conveying copy sheets along a path from the supply tray to the transfer location, a detector (40) for detecting a misfeed in the path and for outputting a misfeed signal, and a controller (82) for preventing an image on the photoreceptor from entering the transfer location upon receipt of the misfeed signal. Transfer of the document image from the photoreceptor to a copy sheet takes place after the misfeed has cleared.
