摘要:
A design support method of verifying control on a device of an image forming apparatus registers, in a storage device, trigger information for specifying a content of control to be executed when a start condition for switching the control state of the device is satisfied (S1002). The apparatus then registers, in the storage device, the allowable range of the state change of the device due to control switched when the start condition is satisfied (S1003). The apparatus then verifies whether the state change of the device due to the control switched when the start condition is satisfied falls outside the allowable range, by referring to the operation state of the device which is input through an input unit, and the trigger information registered in the storage device (S1004).

If any of a plurality of conditions is satisfied, an image forming apparatus having a plurality of image forming units that form images on an intermediate transfer member in a superimposed manner detects, using a pattern detection sensor, the amount of color misregistration of the images formed by the plurality of image forming units on the intermediate transfer member and corrects the color misregistration of the images formed by the plurality of image forming units in accordance with the amount of color misregistration that is smaller than a color misregistration correction tolerance, which varies depending on the plurality of conditions, and that has been detected by the pattern detection sensor.

A simulator apparatus simulates a behavior of an image forming apparatus in order to verify the behavior. The simulator apparatus includes a computing unit that performs a simulation operation on the behavior of the image forming apparatus, and a selection unit that selects a simulation speed of the computing unit.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus is provided, in carrying out an image forming operation using a paper sheet, that uses a sheet containing a wireless tag that stores an address storing control information for performing an optimum image forming. The image forming apparatus obtains the address from the wireless tag using a receiving device, and obtains control information from a server via a network based on the obtained address. The image forming apparatus controls an image forming condition based on the control information, and carries out the image forming under image forming conditions optimum for the sheet.
摘要:
A data receiving system which enables, even when the location of a recipient is changed, a sender to always send data to the same transmission destination, and the recipient to obtain received data from a nearest output terminal apparatus. A server as the data receiving apparatus receives data addressed to an IP address, as received data through the Internet. A multi-function peripheral as an output terminal apparatus receives the received data from the server and outputs the same. In this case, the server selects the multi-function peripheral from registered multi-function peripherals based on the IP address to which the received data is addressed, and relationship map information, and then transfers the received data to the selected multi-function peripheral.

An image forming apparatus including an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording sheet including a special sheet, and a controller for allowing the image forming unit to carry out an image forming sequence which forms an image on the recording sheet, wherein the controller allows the image forming unit to control a cleaning operation of the image forming unit in response to image formation on the special sheet by the image forming unit.
摘要:
A design support method of inspecting control on an image forming apparatus based on a simulation result of operation control on a virtual device which is modeled to simulate operation of the image forming apparatus includes the steps of referring to control definition information for determining whether an operation request is proper with respect to a virtual device for which the operation request is input, in accordance with an operating state of the virtual device, and determining, based on the control definition information referred to in the referring step whether operation of the virtual device can be performed.
摘要:
An image reading apparatus which enables reduction of time to be taken from a job start instruction to a reading operation start. An automatic document feeder unit feeds an original. An upstream reader reads an image on one side of the original fed by the automatic document feeder unit. A downstream reader is disposed downstream of the upstream reader in an original feeding direction, to read an image on another side of the original. The upstream reader and the downstream reader read images of respective white reference plates, and the image reading apparatus generates correction data for the upstream reader and the downstream reader based on the images of the respective white reference plates read by the upstream reader and the downstream reader.
