Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus which forms an image by transferring, onto sheets fed by a feeding unit at the first feeding interval, a toner image formed on a photoconductor or intermediate transfer member, if the temperature of a fixing unit which fixes an image transferred onto a sheet falls outside a set temperature range, the sheet layout is changed to a feeding interval wider than the first feeding interval. Whether to perform adjustment processing is determined based on determination of an image forming condition. If the feeding interval is changed to a wider one in the feeding interval changing step during image formation and it is determined in the determination step to perform adjustment processing, toner patch images are formed in an area where no toner image is formed on the photoconductor or intermediate transfer member. The adjustment processing is performed based on reading toner patch images.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus connected to a conveying-speed-changeable sheet post processing device includes a discharging unit which discharges a sheet in a reverse discharge mode with front and back surfaces of the image-formed sheet reversed, and a non-reverse discharge mode without front and back surfaces of the image-formed sheet reversed, and discharges the sheet at a first speed or a second speed lower than the first speed; and a control unit which controls the discharging unit to discharge the sheet at the first speed in the reverse discharge mode and at the second speed in the non-reverse discharge mode. When the sheet is discharged at the second speed, the control unit controls the discharging unit to discharge a subsequent sheet at the second speed even if the subsequent sheet is to be discharged in the reverse discharge mode.

Abstract:
This invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of shortening the user's print waiting time as much as possible when it is determined that image adjustment is necessary during the image forming operation, and a control method therefor. To accomplish this, in a color image forming apparatus including a plurality of image forming stations which form toner images with a plurality of toners on the basis of a job, it is discriminated whether adjustment processing is necessary during a continuous image forming operation based on the job. If it is discriminated that adjustment processing is necessary, it is determined whether each of the image forming stations has a non-operating time enough to execute the discriminated adjustment processing during the image forming operation. The image forming station determined to have a non-operating time enough to execute adjustment processing executes the discriminated adjustment processing during the non-operating time.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of efficiently performing an image forming processing even in a case where a post-processing apparatus performs a post-processing during a both-sides printing. A first time period needed by a first both-sides image forming processing and a second time period needed by a second both-sides image forming processing are computed in a case where a post-processing unit performs a post-processing on a recording sheet formed images on both sides thereof. The first time period and the second time period is compared, and any one of the first both-sides image forming processing and the second both-sides image forming processing is selected based on the comparison.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus having a transfer device transferring a toner image from an intermediate transfer member to a sheet, a sheet feeder feeding the sheet to the transfer device, a sheet re-feeder, which reverses the front side and back side of the sheet to re-feed the sheet to the transfer device, and a controller, which controls the execution of a two-side copying mode, wherein when a feeding of the sheet from the sheet feeder is interrupted with a first toner image to be transferred to another sheet fed from the sheet re-feeder and a second toner image to be transferred to the sheet fed from the sheet feeder being on the intermediate transfer member, the controller controls the transfer device to perform a transfer of the first toner image and inhibit a transfer of the second toner image.
Abstract:
In image reading apparatus capable of performing a read-while-feed operation in which an original is read while being fed by an image sensor placed at a fixed position, presence/absence of dust and/or dirt on a platen is detected, and, in a case where dust and/or dirt are detected at all of a plurality of predetermined positions by said detector, the read-while-feed operation is inhibited and the presence of dust and/or dirt is notified to a user. When, removal of dust and/or dirt on the platen is detected in a state that the read-while-feed operation is inhibited, the read-while-feed operation is allowed.

Abstract:
A nuclear reactor is equipped with a cooling water circulation system which includes a water-feed conduit and a drain conduit to circulate the cooling water to and from a pressure vessel which surrounds a reactor core, the cooling water having a free liquid level maintained above the reactor core. The drain conduit is inserted in the pressure vessel from the upper side toward the lower side relative to the free liquid level. A double tube consisting of an inner tube and an outer tube maintaining a gap therebetween is formed in the end portion of the drain conduit. The inner tube and outer tube being continuous with the drain conduit, the opening at the lower end of the inner tube is located below said free liquid level but above the reactor core. The opening at the upper end of the outer tube is located above the free liquid level. The opening at the lower end of said outer tube is located below the reactor core.
