A form feeding control device includes a sensor provided at an inlet mouth of a printer to sense whether or not a continuous form exists in the inlet mouth. A control unit feeds the continuous for transfer thereto of a printed image corresponding to one page of the continuous form. The printed image is then fixed on the continuous form. The control unit also feeds the continuous form to fix the printed image on one page when the sensor senses that the end of the continuous form has passed through the inlet mouth and that a printed image has been transferred to the continuous form.

An electrophotographic printer using a plurality of types of continuous recording forms having different page lengths, respectively, with perforations being provided between pages of each of the continuous forms. The printer is operated at least in a standby state and in a printing state. The printer comprises feed means for feeding the continuous-form recording sheet loaded into the printer, and control means for controlling the feed means in such a fashion that the perforations is located at a predetermined position when the printer is in the standby state, regardless of the page length of the recording form loaded into the printer. The predetermined position coincides either with an image-transfer position or an image-fixing position.

A data recovery device is employed in a printer using a continuous form recording medium for reprinting data after printing has been interrupted. In the data recovery device, the number of pages remaining in a predetermined area of the feed path of the recording medium is counted. A plurality of page buffers are sequentially read out and printed. The printing operation is controlled such that the one of the data storing means from which the data is read out and printed by the printing means is identified based on the number of the pages remaining in the predetermined area.

A horizontal sync signal generating device for use with an optical printer to determine the starting positions of horizontal scannings on a photoconductive member for forming images thereon. The generation of horizontal sync timing signals is kept constant regardless of any difference in the characteristics of a light beam transmitted via each scanning face of a polygonal rotary member.

An appartaus utilizing a continuous-form sheet having a plurality of perforations at predetermined intervals of length is provided with a plate member for upwardly guiding the sheet discharged from the apparatus. A connect member provided on the plate member, as well as the apparatus, are arranged to be brought into and out of engagement with each other. The continuous-form sheet discharged from the apparatus is bent at the perforations and falls beyond the plate to be neatly folded.

A power controlling device capable of controlling the supply power to a drive system and to a control system for controlling the drive system. The power controlling device is provided with a main switch capable of turning on and turning off the power supplying device. When the power supplying device is turned off by the main switch, the drive system is turned off before the control system is turned off.

A device for controlling a process of stopping a laser printer having a printing unit including a sensitive drum and a fixing unit. The stopping process control device is provided with a detecting unit for detecting errors occurring in the laser printer, a determining unit for determining whether or not an error detected by the detecting unit is very serious, and a control unit for controlling the printing unit and the fixing unit. The control unit stops the printing unit and the fixing unit after completing a printing and a fixing of the page being printed when the determining unit determines that the error is less serious, and conversely, immediately stops the printing unit and the fixing unit when the determining unit determines that the error is very serious.

A device for feeding a continuous form in a printer, the device having a timer for controlling the width of a drive pulse for a main motor feeding the form. The timer is formed of a plurality of timers controlled by software. These plurality of timers being, for example, three timers measuring a constant time, and one timer measuring a variable time which is varied in accordance with a feeding speed of the form. The width of the drive pulse is determined by summing up a time obtained by multiplying the constant time by three and adding the variable time.

An image organizing unit for use in a laser beam printer. The image organizing unit comprises a character generator which has a plurality of character patterns, each of which has a larger number of pattern elements a long the width direction than that corresponding to a resolving power of the printer. A main-scanning clock pulse frequency is also set to be higher than that corresponding to the resolving power of the printer. With the thus constructed image organizing unit, the printing quality can be improved, particularly for oblique lines of characters, with the resolving power of the printer remaining unchanged.

The present invention provides an intensity control device for a laser in a laser beam printer that produces a hard copy of image information by copy-processing a photosensitive surface scanned by the laser while it is in a scanning mode during which the laser is modulated by the image information. The intensity control device according to the present invention stores a first representation of a present light intensity of the laser during its non-scanning mode. It further stores a second representations of a user selected image density for a hard copy produced by the printer. The first and second representations are combined for forming a control voltage during a non-scanning mode of the laser. Finally, a current is produced that is supplied to the laser in response to the control voltage such that the intensity of light produced by the laser is dependent on both the first and second representations.
