Abstract:
In a case of executing a marginless print mode on an image forming apparatus, a control portion controls a position changing portion configured to change a position of a toner image and a position of a recording material for image formation. Then, the position changing portion is controlled to move the position of the toner image and the position of the recording material for subsequent image formation by the same change amount toward a smaller of image data amounts corresponding to both end portions of the recording material of the toner image formed before the subsequent image formation.
Abstract:
An image formation apparatus obtains optimum double-face print output results aligned in a binding direction even if plural recording sheet sizes mixedly exist in one document. To do so, a CPU of a formatter unit judges consistency between image formation directions on different-size recording sheets on the basis of a designation state of a short edge binding double-face mode or a long edge binding double-face mode designated to a print job by a PC/WS and a designation state of the recording sheet size independently designated to each page of the print job, and it is then controlled based on the judged result that double-face image formation to the recording sheet of either of the designated sizes is performed based on the other double-face mode than the double-face mode actually designated to the print job.
Abstract:
A copying machine is disclosed which is capable of copying an original document having a page number by preliminarily erasing or correcting the page number portion of the image and by changing the order of the output images according to their respective page numbers or by changing the path for delivering the sheet of paper to be copied. A document page image read-in by a charge coupled device sensor is converted into digital signals which are corrected for shading and then binarized and stored in an image memory. This image data is transferred to a working memory wherein the page number shown on the document is read by a page number recognizing unit. The control unit checks the page number and allocates a binding margin on a suitable portion of the document's image. On the basis of the recognition of the page number on the document's image, it also decides to copy the document on one side of the sheet of paper and to deliver it out, or to copy the next document onto the other side of the sheet of paper.
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus having a two-face copy mode wherein document images are formed on front and back faces of a paper, a direction of an image such as portrait or landscape in a document is set by a user or according to a document size, while a first margin is also set by a size or a document size for a document image on the front face in a reproduced image on a paper. A second margin for another document image on the back face is determined at a position opposite to the first margin. An image memory stores the digital image data. A rotation angle is set according to the document direction and the margin position, so that normal images can be observed in the front and back faces of a paper if the paper is turned over by fixing it at the margin. Then, the digital image data read from said image memory is rotated by the rotation angle. Then, the digital image data is printed on the front and back faces of a paper. If a 2-in-1 copy mode is provided, the rotation angle is determined similarly except the setting or document direction which is set opposite to that of documents for a synthesized image of two document images.
Abstract:
An image recording apparatus which provides a size detector or size recognition, such that the size of an image to be recorded is determined, and the recorded image can thereby be centered on the recording paper or sheet upon which the image is to be formed. The apparatus and method can automatically determine a longitudinal length and transverse length of an image (e.g., in a copier or printer) and does not require operator input for size recognition. The apparatus can additionally, or alternatively recognize an image direction, with the direction recognition utilized in placing the reproduced image on a sheet of paper.
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus for forming images at an image forming section after conveying sheet materials by the one side reference method, sheet materials of sizes smaller than a predetermined size are conveyed in accordance with a one side reference position, and sheet materials of sizes larger than the predetermined size are guided in accordance with a position shifted from the one side reference position.
Abstract:
When a toner image including an edge area (Ae) corresponding to an area defined between edges of a transfer material (P), and an internal area (Ai) corresponding to an area inside the edge area (Ae) is formed on an image bearing member (11), the toner image in the edge area is subjected to toner amount increment processing of incrementing a toner amount.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, to perform double-sided printing or marginless printing, overall image data consonant with an area that includes an area on a print medium and an overrun area are generated based on information concerning the size of the print medium and information concerning the overrun distances. To generate image data, the image data are prepared for both one side of the print medium and the other side of the print medium, so that, relative to the print medium, the position of the image data corresponding to one side matches the position, relative to the print medium, of the image data corresponding to the other side.
Abstract:
Damages on fixing members caused by paper passing through can be reduced. The registration rollers 53 and the registration oscillation roller 54 are provided on an upstream side of a fixing nip portion in a conveyance path for paper P and have a function of moving the paper P being conveyed toward the fixing nip portion, in a paper width direction, and the control section 10 performs paper oscillation control and fixing unit oscillation control in correlation with each other, the paper oscillation control in which the registration rollers 53 and the registration oscillation roller 54 are controlled to oscillate a position on which the paper P passes through, and the fixing unit oscillation control in which the fixing unit oscillation motor 36 is controlled to oscillate the fixing unit.
