Provided are a multi-beam scanning optical system capable of implementing high-quality printing in relatively simple structure and at high speed, and an image forming apparatus using it. The multi-beam scanning optical system has an incidence optical unit for guiding a plurality of beams emitted from a light source unit having a plurality of light-emitting regions spaced apart from each other in a main scanning direction, to a deflector; a scanning optical unit for focusing the plurality of beams deflected by the deflector, on a surface to be scanned; and a synchronism-detecting optical unit for converging part of the plurality of beams deflected by the deflector, via a return mirror on a slit surface by a lens section, thereafter guiding the beams to a synchronism detector, and controlling timing of a scan start position on the surface to be scanned, by use of a signal from the synchronism detector. The elements are set so as to satisfy Condition (A) where &dgr;M is a defocus amount in a main scanning section of the beams guided to the synchronism detector and in a view from the slit surface and &dgr;X is a defocus amount at each image height on the surface to be scanned.

A binding apparatus to bind sheets includes a binding device, a non-volatile memory, and control circuitry. The binding device is configured to bind a plurality of stacked sheets with a binding member. The non-volatile memory is configured to store a quantity of binding members in the binding device. The control circuitry is configured to control operation of the binding device. The control circuitry outputs an alert when the quantity of binding members stored in the non-volatile memory is equal to or less than a first predetermined value and cancels the alert when the quantity of binding members is equal to or less than a second predetermined value.

The image forming system includes an image forming apparatus; a detection apparatus that detects a user who enters or exits a room where the image forming apparatus exists; and an administration server that judges a security level of the room based on a detection result drawn by the detection apparatus. The image forming apparatus selects a print mode based on the security level judged by the administration server and performs printing by the selected print mode.
摘要:
When a sheet is conveyed to a position where a conveying speed can be changed from a first conveying speed to a second conveying speed while a discharging unit is discharging a preceding stack of sheets, a conveyance control unit calculates a third conveying speed for conveying the sheet based on a first conveyance time to be taken until a leading end of the stack of sheets reaches a second tray unit from a first tray unit and a second conveyance time to be taken until a current discharging operation is completed from a start of the current discharging operation, and changes the conveying speed from the first conveying speed to the third conveying speed.

An image processing apparatus receives and binarizes image data in accordance with first and second algorithms to output first and second binarized data which are in turn compared and in accordance with a result of the comparison a region to be corrected is determined in the first binarized data. The region to be corrected then has a value of a pixel binarized in accordance with a third algorithm and replaced with the binarized value.

A personal computer is operable to sectionalize a document image to form a plurality of image areas each having an attribute associated with a compression mode. Then, it is determined whether the image areas overlap with one another to form an overlap area. When the overlap area is formed, the overlap area is separated from the engaged image areas. If one of the engaged image areas is included within the remaining image areas, an attribute for the overlap area is set up according to the inclusive relationship of the engaged image areas. If there is not such an inclusive relationship, the attribute in the overlap area is set up according to the occupancy rate of the overlap area to each of the engaged image areas, and weighting coefficients of the respective attributes of the engaged image areas.
摘要:
In an image processing device, image data is divided into a plurality of band data including first and second band data. The first band data and the second band data have an overlap region, from which the first and second regions are extracted, respectively. The first region and the second region at least partially overlap with each other in the overlap region and have attributes different from each other, and the respective feature amounts are calculated. Based on these feature amounts, an attribute to be used for correction is decided. Then, an attribute different from the decided attribute between the attribute of the first region and the attribute of the second region is changed to the decided attribute.
