Abstract:
A standard print mode or a thinning print mode can be selected at will by an input from an operation panel to record image data received by a receiving means section in a selected print mode using an ink jet recording head, And after one page of image recording, a footer mark is recorded on the trailing portion of the recording paper, and sensed by a photo sensor to determine whether or not the ink is present. This footer mark is recorded in the standard print mode without regard to the selected print mode. Thereby, the false detection of the predetermined image recorded on the recording medium, after a predefined amount of image data has been recorded, can be prevented.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprises a first circuit unit including a control unit and a second circuit unit having a driving unit. The apparatus generates, by a power-supply unit, a power-supply voltage necessary for driving the driving unit to supply the power-supply voltage to the driving unit. The apparatus detects a voltage reduction of the power-supply voltage and performs access stopping processing for stopping access of the second circuit unit, based on the detecting of the voltage reduction of the power-supply voltage.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus sets a driving keeping voltage for keeping driving of a fan to a voltage that is higher than a voltage that is applied to the fan when the fan is determined not to be rotating after decreasing the voltage that is applied to the fan in a state where the fan is rotating.
Abstract:
An object is to provide an image processing apparatus which can reduce power consumption during the power saving standby mode. The starting factor monitor unit and the power saving standby mode voltage control unit are driven with the USB bus power can be supplied during a shift to the power saving standby mode and the starting factor monitor unit and the power saving standby mode voltage control unit are driven by voltage from the main power supply when the USB bus power cannot be supplied during a shift to the power saving standby mode.
Abstract:
A multi-function apparatus having a wider variety of uses and easily employed when carrying a USB cable only without having a power source cord. The apparatus includes means for detecting a connection between the USB interface and the PC, means for detecting a connection to the power line, and control means for selecting a function depending on a detected state of the connection between the USB interface and PC and a detected state of the connection to the AC power line. All the functions in the multi-function apparatus are operable in a connected state of the AC power line to the AC power source, while even in an unconnected state of the AC power line to the AC power source, if the USB interface is connected to the PC, a possible operation is enabled using electric power of 5 V at 500 mA supplied from the PC.
Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes photoelectric conversion elements configured to receive light reflected from an original illuminated by a light source and to convert the received light into an electrical signal, an output circuit for amplifying the electrical signal from the photoelectric conversion elements and outputting the amplified signal as an image signal in a time series fashion, and a driving stop circuit for stopping driving a part of the photoelectric conversion elements or a power supply stop circuit for stopping supplying power to a part of the photoelectric conversion elements.
