摘要:
An image forming apparatus selects and combines necessary image sections from a plurality of documents thereby to obtain a combined image on one sheet of paper. The image forming apparatus is provided with an optical scanning system for exposing/scanning a document in relative movement therewith, a lever for setting a reference position to divide the document into a plurality of sections in the scanning direction of the document, a transfer belt for holding an image of each section at every exposure/scanning time, and a transfer charger for transferring the image held by the transfer belt to a paper, each of which is controlled so that the images of a plurality of the sections are combined and transferred at one time to the paper.

Simplified document editing in a reprographic system allows an operator to edit documents using an edit pad located at the bottom portion of the raised platen cover rather than the conventional method of placing the document on the top of the closed platen cover or some other remote editing location for editing. This eliminates the need to first edit the document and then register it on the platen which, importantly, eliminates the need for handling the document twice and improves document registration. The concept includes retractable registration bars to ensure proper registration of the document to be edited.
摘要:
A copying machine which compares between the longitudinal dimension and the crosswise dimension of each line mark based on an output from the image information reading means and decides the coordinates of a longer line mark as the effective coordinates for the line mark, and determines an editing area based on the coordinates of each line mark decided so that the editing is performed on the image in the editing area in accordance with the preset marker editing mode.

An image forming apparatus in accordance with the present invention forms images on the opposing planes of a sheet of paper based on image data sequentially transmitted on page-by-page basis, and includes a memory for storing image data on page-by-page basis, an image forming device for forming an image on a sheet of paper based on image data read out from the memory, a face up tray attachable and detachable to and from the body of the apparatus and capable of receiving a sheet of paper with its plane on which an image is formed last facing upward, and a controller changing the order of reading image data from the memory based on the storage capacity of the memory and whether or not the face up tray is mounted to the apparatus.
摘要:
A technique for pre-programming a reproduction machine for a plurality of complex jobs involving a variety of machine features and requirements at a computer console remote from the reproduction machine operator console and touch sensitive screen display. In particular, a remote computer console compatible with the reproduction machine control, manifests a simulation of a plurality of pre-programming slots and machine features for each slot that simulate a plurality of features and subfeatures of job requirements for the machine. The plurality of selected features for each pre-programmed job slot are automatically stored in the selected pre-programming slots on a removable media such as a floppy disk. The floppy disk can be inserted into the reproduction machine to automatically pre-program the machine for a plurality of discrete job runs without any additional operator initiative.
摘要:
Various maintenance manuals for an image forming apparatus are stored in a message memory. When a total image forming numbers formed in the apparatus reaches a predetermined count, and after the formation of the all image data which has been supplied from a host unit is completed, a selected manual for the maintenance operation is printed out on a paper, so that an operator can perform the predetermined maintenance operation using the printed manual.

In an electrophotographic apparatus, electrostatic latent images are formed on an endless photoreceptor belt for subsequent development by toner particles and transfer of the toner image to output sheets. The belt has at least two identifiable sections around its length on which images are formed. If a defect occurs in one of the belt sections, the defective belt section may be disabled, so that the formation of images on that section is prevented, while images may be formed on at least one remaining belt section.
摘要:
Each of color toner images is formed on a photo-sensitive drum using a plural development units. An exposure process and a development process for a color image information are carried out repeatedly corresponding to a respective hue of the image information. The toner images of n colors are transferred to the drum by contacting a recording paper to the drum. A record mode is selected in accordance with a length in a peripheral direction of the drum of the image information against a peripheral length of the drum. When the length of the image information is longer than the peripheral length of the drum, N times transfer processes are selected as the record mode. Then the length of the image information is divided into N areas. The image information of n colors existing in every divided area is formed dividedly on the drum. The color image is recorded on a full length of the paper. Besides, when the length of the image information is shorter than the peripheral length of the drum, one time transfer process is selected as the record mode.
摘要:
A document scanning device includes an index lever for indicating a boundary between a plurality of areas dividing a document on a platen and a photoelectric detector for detecting the position of the boundary. The index lever includes a marker which gives information about the boundary to the detector and a lever which moves the marker between a detectable position where the detector can detect the marker and a non-detectable position where the detector cannot detect the marker. The document scanning device is effective to be applied to a copying machine equipped with an editing function of the document.
摘要:
A printing system having an electronic sub system loaded with control software which controls scanning, image storing and the printing operations of the printing system. The control software schedules the bandwidth of disk storage and swaps images from a storage disk to a memory so that a desired image will be in memory when the printing of that image is requested. The system utilizes resource management and/or memory management software to realize improved job turn around time and to reduce pitch skips.
