摘要:
An image processing apparatus of a digital copying machine or the like comprises: a color discriminating circuit to discriminate a color of an input image; a discrimination image generator to generate a color discrimination image in accordance with the discriminated color; and a trimming circuit to trim a boundary portion between the color discrimination image generated and another image. A blank portion or a boundary line is formed in the boundary portion between the color discrimination image and another image. The trimming circuit can also trim a portion in the color discrimination image in the boundary portion.

The conventional techniques cannot set optimal energy saving modes separately for a plurality of loads and can hardly attain further suppression of power consumption. To accomplish this, in an image forming apparatus including a main circuit board which has a master CPU and controls the operation of the entire image forming apparatus, and a plurality of sub circuit boards each have a slave CPU and control each corresponding control target, the operating condition of each slave CPU is stored in correspondence with the operation mode of the image forming apparatus, and, upon being notified of the operation modes of the image forming apparatus, the slave CPU of each of the plurality of sub circuit boards sets the operation status of the slave CPU by referring to the table of the operation modes.

A control board includes a main-board and a plurality of sub-boards which control loads. The sub-boards each include a providing unit which provides a board type ID, a read unit which reads an installation location ID, and a transmission unit which transmits the board type ID and the installation location ID to the main-board. The main-board includes a communication control unit, a configuration information acquisition unit which acquires configuration information expressed by a combination of the board type ID and the installation location ID, an analysis unit which analyzes the configuration information, and a control unit which controls the sub-unit on the basis of information analyzed by the analysis unit.

There is provided an image forming apparatus which can output a job with a higher priority level in a timely manner without processing other jobs first, when a container has been attached to the image forming apparatus. Images on sheets are formed in accordance with an image forming job by a color MFP 104. The sheets on which the images have been formed is conveyed to a stacker tray 1207 detachably attached to an inserter 108 attached to the black-and-white MFP 105. Storage of the sheets on which the images have been formed in the stacker tray 1207 is controlled to selectively inhibit or allow the storage according to the priority level of the image forming job by a CPU 1805 of the color MFP 104.
摘要:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting unit which supports a plurality of sheets, a sheet feeding unit which feeds the sheet one by one from a stack of sheets supported by the sheet supporting unit, an air blowing unit which blows air to an end portion of the stack of sheets supported by the sheet supporting unit, the air blowing unit being able to change wind velocity of the blown air, a material setting unit which sets arbitrarily and registers the wind velocity of the air blown by the air blowing unit in accordance with a type of the sheet, and a sheet feeding control unit which controls the wind velocity of the air blown by the air blowing unit based on data registered by the material setting unit.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus is provided which includes a sheet containing section for containing sheets, a conveying member and a conveying path for conveying the sheets, at least one optical sensor that is arranged in the conveying path and has a light emitting element and a light receiving element for detecting presence or absence of a sheet on the conveying path, a driver for changing an amount of emitted light of the optical sensor, a sheet supply operation detecting section for detecting a supply operation of the sheets contained in the sheet containing section, and a control section for adjusting an amount of emitted light of the optical sensor according to an output of the sheet supply operation detecting section.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus reverses a sheet, on one side of which an image has been formed in an image forming section, transports the sheet back to the image forming section, and forms an image on the other side of the sheet, the apparatus has an inlet feed path for transporting a sheet, on one side of which an image has been formed; a switchback path for withdrawing the sheet transported from the inlet feed path; a plurality of reverse feed paths branching from the switchback path at plural positions, each of the reverse feed paths transporting a sheet while reversing the sheet; and a re-feed path for transporting the reversed sheet from any of the reverse feed paths back to the image forming section.
摘要:
A sheet conveying apparatus permits keeping predetermined sheet intervals, even when sheet conveyance is temporarily discontinued and then resumed, after resumption of conveyance. The sheet conveying apparatus has a first roller which feeds sheets at predetermined sheet intervals, and a second roller which conveys a plurality of sheet fed from the first roller. After temporarily discontinuing conveyance of the plurality of sheets, conveyance of the plurality of sheets is resumed by use of the first roller and the second roller. The variation in the sheet interval caused when temporarily discontinuing sheet conveyance is corrected upon resumption of sheet conveyance.
摘要:
The apparatus reads an original by an image reader, and if it recognizes caption(s) included in the original, stores a page number of the original into a memory, thereafter, performs copying based on the stored page number such that the original page including the caption is transferred onto the front side of a recording sheet.
