摘要:
A method and related apparatus for inverting receivers in a plurality of physically coupled print engines by using an inverter such that one or more images are digitally printed on designated receiver sheets whereby all receiver sheets that can be inverted are inverted and those that cannot be inverted are not inverted. A skip frame is added to the first print engine preceding each noninvertible receiver sheets.

A printer includes multiple source trays, an output destination, and a media path. The media path couples the source trays to the output destination. Ordered media is loaded within one or more source trays. The printer is configured to automatically recover from a jam when processing the ordered media by selectively shedding selected ordered media from a source tray. A method of recovering from the jam includes generating a request that identifies the insertion order of selected ordered media, inserting the selected ordered media within an output; and purging selected ordered media when a jam occurs to provide a uniform output.

A reproduction apparatus having a control system which includes a plurality of hard buttons and switches for providing operator input to and control of said reproduction apparatus, a display for displaying selectable features for a reproduction run and for displaying alphanumeric and graphical information, and a touchscreen overlaying at least a part of the display and having soft buttons and areas for providing operator input to the reproduction apparatus. A method of providing control of the display includes the steps of:operating the display in a screen saver mode when the control system determines that there has been no reproduction apparatus activity for a preselected time; andterminating said screen saver mode of the display when the control system determines one of the following events has occurred;a) the touchscreen has been touched;b) a hard button has been actuated; andc) reproduction apparatus activity other than that of a) or b) has been determined.The reproduction apparatus activity of substep c) can be detection of a new error in said reproduction apparatus, a document sensor or a copy sheet sensor has changed, or an interlock state has changed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for enabling a printing device to print character data in either a portrait orientation mode or a landscape orientation mode is disclosed. Font data representing a character in a first orientation is stored in a font memory. Translated font data is generated that represents the translated top portion and bottom portion of the character. The data representing the translated top portion is stored adjacent to the original font data, while the data representing the translated bottom portion is stored in a separate area of the memory. In order to maintain a common addressing scheme for both translated and non-translated fonts, the translated and non-translated font data representing the lower portion of the character are interchanged prior to a printing operation when the printing mode is switched.

This invention provides an image-forming machine with a user detection system. The image-forming machine has image-forming equipment and at least one sensor. The image-forming equipment may include a photoconductor, one or more chargers, an exposure machine, a toning station, a fusing station, related equipment, and accessories. The image-forming machine may also include a sensor interface and a communication link. The sensor is monitored to detect when a user is near the image-forming machine. An output signal from the sensor indicates a user presence near the image-forming machine. A warm-up procedure is started in response to the output signal of the sensor.

Reproduction apparatus having an improved system for storage and retrieval of a job setup comprising job selected operating features. The apparatus has a display device on which are addressed a features selection screen(s), a job store/retrieve memory screen and a job naming screen. The job naming screen comprises alpha numeric characters, selectable by the operator touch address, to define a word/phrase job name, which is stored in apparatus memory together with the related job operating features signals and a job code number.
摘要:
A job ordering system for an image-forming machine that transfers an image onto a sheet at essentially the same time in which an inserter places an inserted sheet into a sheet output path. The image-forming machine has image-forming equipment, a sheet output path, and an inserter. The image-forming equipment transfers an image onto a sheet and provides the sheet to the sheet output path. The inserter places an inserted sheet onto the sheet output path at essentially the same time as the image-forming equipment transfers the image onto the sheet. One or more images may be transferred onto a plurality of sheets according to a sheet sequence for an image-forming job. One or more inserted sheets may be placed on the sheet output path at one or more inserted sheet positions.

In reproduction apparatus having a plurality of selectable features for carrying out a reproduction run, an operator control panel for providing operator interface for controlling the reproduction apparatus. The operator control panel includes a display for displaying a sequence of graphics at periodic intervals to assist an operator in carrying out a task involving the reproduction apparatus and a touchscreen overlaying the display having an operator actuable touch button for providing operator input to the reproduction apparatus for causing a current graphic displayed to be held, thereby disabling the periodic sequencing of the graphics.
摘要:
A reproduction apparatus for producing a copy of an original with added alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols in a predetermined location on the copy. The apparatus includes an operator control panel having a display screen for indicating certain standard selectable features for producing a copy, with plural displayed options for each feature. First assemblage is provided for altering the display on the screen to indicate a displayed selected option and for generating a first set of signals representing selected options of the standard features. Circuitry is provided for altering the display on the screen to display a set of alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols, and second assemblage for altering the display on the screen to indicate one or more selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols and for generating a second set of signals representing selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols. Devices responsive to the first and second set of signals produce a copy having the one or more selected alpha-numeric characters and/or symbols in a predetermined location on the reproduced copy.
