Abstract:
It is intended to obtain outputs of insert sheets suitable for an inserter without delay. Thus, it is controlled to sort sheets on which pages of an image, being the print object in a mode to output the sheets to be set to an inserter provided in another apparatus having such the inserter, of first type in a series of images having plural pages were formed respectively, on the basis of information based on the inserter provided in the another apparatus.
Abstract:
When sheets with images formed thereon from an image forming apparatus and a special sheet such as a cover sheet are arranged in alignment into a bundle of sheets, conveyance of the special sheet from the stacking unit is started prior to conveyance of the sheets from the image forming apparatus, and the special sheet is temporarily halted on a conveyance path at a location intermediate between the stacking unit and a receiving unit, whereby no complicated operation by an operator is required and the productivity can be improved. Further, the special sheet will be switched (i.e. reversed) when it is conveyed to the receiving unit.
Abstract:
An image formation apparatus has a sheet processor in which the setting of punch action is permitted during a specified period of time, even after image formation is started when the setting of a punch action has been forgotten. When the start key of the image formation apparatus is operated for starting image formation in a situation in which a setting of an action for punching at least one hole in a sheet by a punch setting button is forgotten, an action setting by the punch setting button is permitted during a specified period of time taken after inputting of the start for image formation, so that sheet processing and image formation can be continued without pausing the apparatus.
Abstract:
In a program control type processor for executing plural instructions including a vector pipeline instruction including a data processor for executing a pipeline operation, there is provided a program controller including a program memory, a program counter and a decoder, and is further provided an address generator and a data memory. When the vector pipeline instruction is read out from the program memory and is decoded by the decoder, the program controller stops the program counter and outputs a start signal, and thereafter, controls an operation of the data processor according to the contents of the vector pipeline instruction. The data processor executes the pipeline operation for the data outputted from the data memory by being controlled by the program controller, and the program controller detects completion of the pipeline operation performed in response to the vector pipeline instruction a predetermined number of cycles after receiving the end signal, and thereafter, sequentially executes instructions following the vector pipeline instruction.
