摘要:
A image processing apparatus of the present invention comprises an image generation unit configured to generate image data of one page, a printing unit configured to mount color material on an intermediate transfer member to perform printing, and an obtaining unit configured to obtain a time (a time between print pages) showing a time interval between printing one page and printing next one page by the printing unit, and the printing unit outputs patches for adjusting density to be reproduced in the printing, to the intermediate transfer member in the time between print pages.
摘要:
A method is disclosed. The method includes estimating a quantity of toner to be used to print a job at a printer by calculating a buildup of toner at edges of data on each page of the print job.

An image forming apparatus including a wireless tag reader is described. The wireless tag reader is configured to be located in a first position to read wireless tags associated with consumables when the consumables are inserted into, stationary in, or removed from the image forming apparatus, and in a second position to read wireless tags outside of the image forming apparatus.

A card, such as a payment card, or other device may include an electronics package. The electronics package may include electronic components mounted on a flexible, printed circuit board. The electronics package may be laminated (e.g., via a hot, cold, or molding lamination process) between layers of transparent polymer. A hologram may be fixed to one side of the electronics package such that the hologram may be viewed from the exterior of the laminated card having transparent polymer layers. As such, the hologram may not be removed without breaching the integrity of a transparent polymer layer.

Compressed data transmitted to a print control apparatus includes break data having information on a compressed size and a decompressed size for each page. When the compressed data is transferred to a decompressing unit, the break data is converted to NOP data. Information on the decompressed size included in each break data is provided to a checking unit. During a period in which a decompression process is performed, a decompression flag is turned on. The checking unit obtains the actual decompressed size by counting a period in which the decompression flag is turned on, to check whether the decompression process has been normally performed. During a period in which the decompressing unit and the checking unit perform processes for a certain page, a reading unit reads compressed data for the next page.

A tandem-type image forming system comprises: a plurality of image forming apparatuses connected in series, the image forming apparatuses which respectively perform image formation on sides of a sheet, thereby performing a job, the image forming apparatuses including: a first image forming apparatus; and a second image forming apparatus provided upper than the first image forming apparatus in a sheet conveying direction, wherein the first image forming apparatus includes: a controlling section which controls transmission of image data generated based on printing data of the job received by the first image forming apparatus to the second image forming apparatus, and the second image forming apparatus includes: a controlling section which controls feeding of a sheet on which the image formation is performed based on the image data received from the first image forming apparatus.
摘要:
According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes: an input section configured to input information to be printed; a first printing section configured to perform printing with a toner unerasable by an erasing device; a second printing section configured to perform printing with a toner erasable by the erasing device; and a control section configured to control the image forming apparatus to print, using the first printing section, at least a keyword stored in a storing section in advance among the information to be printed input by the input section and control the image forming apparatus to print, using the second printing section, information not printed by the first printing section.
摘要:
Image forming devices, imaging methods, and methods of modifying a configuration of an image forming device are described. According to one aspect, an image forming device includes an interface adapted to communicate with a remote device via a communication medium, and processing circuitry configured to access first configuration data to control an operation of the image forming device according to a first configuration to form hard images upon media during a first period of time, to monitor the formation of hard images upon the media during the first period of time, to control the interface to communicate usage data corresponding to the monitoring, and to access second configuration data received from the remote device responsive to the communication of the usage data, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to access the second configuration data to control the operation of the image forming device according to a second configuration different than the first configuration to form the hard images upon the media during a second period of time after the first period of time.
摘要:
In a color laser printer, the printing density of images to be formed is corrected based on a correction values stored in a control memory, For each printing operation the printer determines whether the correction values stored in the control memory matches a value stored in a backup memory. If the correction values in the control memory does not match the correction values in the backup memory, the value of a number of printed pages A serving as the printing performance is incremented by one. If the number of printed pages A is greater than a reference performance number of sheets B pre-stored in memory, then the correction values in the control memory is copied to the backup memory, and the printing operation is executed. If a “Restore correction data” command is inputted, the contents of the backup memory are copied to the control memory.
摘要:
A print output apparatus, etc., designed to effectively increase the speed of printing started when the apparatus is in a sleep state. Before print data is transferred to the print output apparatus, a first command for making the print output apparatus to execute processing for shifting from the sleep state to a standby state and a second command to stop calibration processing are sent to the print output apparatus.
