摘要:
According to one example, there is provided apparatus for detecting a fault in a printing system. The apparatus comprises a monitoring module to determine the length of a portion of an imaging member as the imaging member rotates; and indicate a fault condition when the determined length is different to a reference length.

An image forming apparatus may include a laser scanning unit which irradiates light to a photosensitive body to form an image; a feedback information provision unit which provides feedback information used to control optical power of the laser scanning unit; and a main controller which controls the optical power of the laser scanning unit by adjusting a voltage that is applied to the laser scanning unit by using the feedback information. The main controller performs primary optical power control by comparing a density of a sample patch formed on the photosensitive body by the laser scanning unit, the density received from the feedback information provision unit, with a target density that is previously stored and performs secondary optical power control by comparing a feedback voltage received from the feedback information provision unit with the target voltage obtained during the primary optical power control.

A light emission control device (2) images an electrostatic latent image on a photosensitive element (109) by a plurality of light emitting elements (111) corresponding to a line in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction which is a rotational direction the photosensitive element. The light emission control device includes: a detecting unit (301) that detects a rotational position of the photosensitive element, in the first direction, corresponding to a line in the second direction; an acquiring unit that acquires a distance between the light emitting elements and the rotational position of the photosensitive element in the first direction detected by the detecting unit; and a control unit (305) that controls light emission by the light emitting elements according to the distance acquired by the acquiring unit and corrects a fluctuation in a density of a visible image converted from the electrostatic latent image.

A low density area is caused at a trailing edge of an image formed on a photosensitive drum. This low density area is less likely to be caused when the density of the image is higher and the humidity is lower. To prevent generation of such low density area, if a color misregistration detection toner pattern having a high density is formed, in a low humidity environment, an excessively large amount of toner is consumed unnecessarily. In response, the density of the color misregistration detection toner pattern is adjusted based on the humidity.

Systems and methods apply active feedback via a repetitive controller (522) to compensate for periodic disturbances applied by recording media to a movable image carrier having a controlled velocity. The compensation parameters of the repetitive controller (522), once the error signal of the feedback converges to zero, can be stored with one or more characteristics of the print job or the recording media used for the print job. When other print jobs are received having the same one or more characteristics, the stored, converged compensation parameters can be retrieved, reducing the time to convergence of the systems and methods.
摘要:
In a printing system an electrophotography subsystem comprises a photoreceptor, a light sensor, at least one toner dispenser and a processor, wherein said processor monitors at least one of the following processes: light received from a light-imaging subsystem at said sensor, wherein said sensor provides said processor with information on the intensity of said light; said photoreceptor's characteristics, wherein said characteristics include wear on said photoreceptor; said toner dispenser's contents, both in amount and composition; and vibration, if any, from said toner dispenser and from any actuating hardware received in said EP subsystem.
摘要:
An apparatus and associated method for controlling the operating speed of a photoreceptor within an electrostatographic printing machine having a belt type photoreceptive member (10) for recording a plurality of latent images (116) thereon. The process provides automatic reconfiguration of the electrostatographic printing machine control system to determine appropriate pitch timing values in response to a measurement of the actual belt speed as measured by the elapsed time for a single rotation of the photoreceptor belt.
