Abstract:
A sheet finisher of the invention includes a saddle stitch unit configured to stitch a center of a sheet bundle in which printed sheets are bundled, a fold unit configured to fold the center stitched by the saddle stitch unit and to form a fold line, and a fold reinforcing unit configured to reinforce the fold line formed by the fold unit, the fold reinforcing unit includes a roller unit that includes a reinforce roller with a structure for preventing an occurrence of a wrinkle, and moves along a direction of the fold line while applying pressure by the reinforce roller to the fold line of the sheet bundle transported from the fold unit, and a drive unit configured to move the roller unit along the direction of the fold line from a standby position located at a position separate from an end of the sheet bundle.
Abstract:
According to the invention, a sheet finisher has a folding mechanism, a discharging mechanism, a stacking mechanism, and a slip amount calculator. The folding mechanism forms a folding line by folding a sheet which an image forming unit discharges. The discharging mechanism discharges the sheet including the folding line which the folding mechanism forms. The stacking mechanism stacks the sheet which the discharging mechanism discharges. The slip amount calculator outputs a fullness state of the stacking mechanism to the image forming unit, if a slip amount of the discharging mechanism exceeds a threshold.
Abstract:
An image erasing apparatus includes a stacking tray stacking the recording medium, a heater heating the recording medium to a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature at which developer on the recording medium is erased, a detector disposed downstream in a recording medium carrying direction from the heater to detect an image on the recording medium, a recording medium carrying mechanism picking up the recording medium, from the stacking tray sheet by sheet and carrying the picked-up recording medium, a storage box storing the image-erased recording medium by size, a lateral aligning mechanism disposed in the storage box so as to align the recording medium in the lateral direction, and a controller controlling the alignment operation of the lateral aligning mechanism.
Abstract:
There is provided an image forming apparatus including: an image data acquiring unit that acquires image data of an image formed on a sheet; an identification information acquiring unit that acquires identification information that identifies the sheet on which the image is formed; an image forming unit that forms an image based on the image data acquired by the image data acquiring unit on the sheet with a decolorable colorant which becomes colorless by a predetermined chemical reaction and that forms an identification information image based on the identification information on the sheet with a non-decolorable colorant which does not become colorless by the chemical reaction by which the decolorable colorant becomes colorless; and a storage control unit that stores the identification information and the image data of the image to be formed on the sheet, on which the identification information image corresponding to the identification information is formed, in a predetermined storage region in a correlated manner.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a first image forming unit which forms a first image on a first recording medium with a first material which is not thermally decolorized; a second image forming unit which forms a second image on a second recording medium with a second material which is thermally decolorized; a fixing unit which is on a common carrying path shared by the first recording medium and the second recording medium and fixes the first image to the first recording medium; and a control unit which controls the fixing unit so that the temperature of the second recording medium passing through the fixing unit becomes lower than a decolorizing temperature of the second material.
Abstract:
The display control device is used in a computer including a window management function (27) and a plurality of moving picture reproducing applications (28a, 28b, 28c). The display control device includes: a detecting unit (21) which detects a pressing down of a one-shot media button (34) arranged in a remote controller (18a); an extracting unit (22) which receives a report on the detection of the pressing down of the one-shot media button (34) by the detecting unit (21) and extracts a dynamic image window associated with any one of moving picture reproducing applications (28a, 28b, 28c) according to the information acquired by the window management function (27); and a changing unit (24) which changes the front-back order of the window so that the dynamic image window extracted by the extracting unit (22) is displayed on the frontmost surface on a display (16).
Abstract:
A sheet folding apparatus includes a fold unit to fold a center of a sheet bundle to form a fold line, a reinforce roller which reciprocates along a direction of the fold line while nipping and pressing the fold line and reinforces the fold line of the sheet bundle, and a control section to changeably set the number of times of reciprocating movement of the reinforce roller according to a thickness of a sheet contained in the sheet bundle.
Abstract:
A duplex printer, in which when a first thermal head prints information on a front side as an information printing side of a printing medium, a second thermal head repeatedly prints a previously registered and selected fixed pattern or notice information on a back side as an information non-printing side of a printing medium at regular cycle or at an optional timing.
Abstract:
When reproduction of any one of contents on any one of mediums is interrupted, a first video device transmits interruption information to a second video device connecting with a network, and the second video device registers the interruption information in an other-device interruption information management table. When given an instruction of reproducing the same content on the same medium, the second video device detects the interruption information of the content from the other-device interruption information management table, and starts reproducing the content from an interrupted position specified by position information contained in the interruption information.
Abstract:
A sheet stack apparatus comprises a storage portion configured to support sheets conveyed one by one in a standing position, an alignment member configured to move back and forth between a standby position and a predetermined position in a sheet width direction crossing a sheet conveying direction and contact with and align sheet edges in the sheet width direction at the predetermined position, and a controller configured to control the alignment member to move back and forth by the first number of times whenever sheets are stored in the storage portion and starting from a predetermined number of sheets before a last sheet of the sheets conveyed to the storage portion, and control the alignment member to move back and forth by the second number of times larger than the first number of times.
