摘要:
When the user depresses a soft key SW in an on-state of a door switch DSW in which a door is closed, a transistor Tr1 is turned on, a transistor Tr4 is turned on, a relay RL1 is turned on, and an AC power source is supplied to an image forming apparatus. When a jam occurs, a CPU 2 turns on a transistor Tr5 for a predetermined time and a latching relay RL2 is driven to the holding side. When the door is opened for a jam process, the door switch DSW is opened and the AC power drops. When the door is closed after the jam process, the door switch DSW is closed. In this instance, since the latching relay RL2 is in a holding state, the AC power is again supplied in a manner similar to the case where the soft key SW is depressed. When the jam cancellation is confirmed, the holding of the latching relay RL2 is cancelled and the ordinary operation is started.

A fluorescent lamp controller for an original-document exposing apparatus includes a detection circuit for detecting the quantity of light emitted by a fluorescent lamp, an actuator for applying between filaments of the fluorescent lamp a voltage having a duty that is determined in accordance with the quantity of light detected, and a preheating circuit for preheating each of the filaments of the fluorescent lamp by applying a preheating voltage. According to the present invention, the actuator applies, between the filaments of the fluorescent lamp, a voltage having a duty which is smaller than the full duty regardless of a result of the quantity of light detected in a predetermined period at a start of turning the fluorescent lamp on, and the preheating circuit applies the preheating voltage to each of the filaments of the fluorescent lamp simultaneously with the application of the turning on voltage.

There is a multi-color copying apparatus having image processing functions which can easily designate arbitrary areas when the trimming or masking is executed. This apparatus comprises: an area designating device to designate the first area of the original; a first developing device to develop the image of the first area in the first color; a second developing device to develop the image of the second area in the second color; and a control circuit for making the first developing device operative without making the second developing device operative in accordance with the designation of the first area and, after completion of the development of the image of the first area, making the second developing device operative without making the first developing device operative. The control circuit inhibits the operation of the first or second developing device by moving the first or second developing device to a position away from the photo sensitive drum, or by applying the bias voltage to the first or second developing device such that the toner from the inoperative developing device is not deposited onto the drum.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus includes a process unit for reproducing an image on a document onto a recording medium and a detection circuit for detecting the status of the document image. A control circuit controls the process unit to reproduce the document image at a predetermined magnification. The status of the document may include the area of the image on the document, whether the document image is adjacent an edge of the document, the location of the edge of the document, or the disposition of the document. The magnification of reproduction of the document image is then controlled by the control circuit in accordance with the detection of that particular status. For example, if it is determined that the document image is adjacent the edge of the document, reproduction is controlled to be at reduced magnification. If the document is determined to be away from a reference position, a portion of the reproduced image may be erased so that only the actual document image is reproduced rather than unwanted background adjacent the document.
