摘要： An image forming apparatus includes an engine for forming an image corresponding to received video data on a sheet of paper, a main frame buffer memory, an auxiliary frame buffer memory for outputting stored video data along a data transmission path to the engine according to a video clock sync signal, and a first signal when a lower level correspondingly set to at least some amount of the stored video data is reached and a second signal when the stored data reaches a set upper level. This image forming apparatus further comprises a central processing unit for converting print data received externally to video data suitable for driving of the engine and storing the converted video data in the main frame buffer memory, and a direct memory access controller for controlling the main frame buffer memory so that video data stored in the main frame buffer memory is transmitted to the auxiliary frame buffer memory until the second signal is output when a print start signal is input, at an initial stage, and the video data stored in the main frame buffer memory is transmitted to the auxiliary frame buffer memory as much as a set data transmission amount whenever the first signal is input, at a subsequent stage after the initial stage. Also provided is a video sync signal controller for controlling operation and interruption of the direct memory access controller according to a video data output control signal output from the engine and outputting the video clock sync signal. Thus, as the video data can be continuously output to the engine in synchronization with the video clock signal until the print stop signal is generated, speed of print can be increased. Further, a large capacity of storing video data for a memory for video data transmission is not needed.

摘要： A printer and a method of driving a cooling fan of the printer include a storage unit temporarily stores printing option data and image data, and a control unit controls an operation of a printing unit in one of a warming-up mode, a standby mode, a printing mode and a sleep mode based on the printing option data and the image data as inputted into the control unit. The control unit outputs a control signal variably controlling an RPM (Rotation Per Minute) of the cooling fan based on the operation mode and a printing speed of the printing unit. A cooling fan driving unit drives the cooling fan at a different RPM based on the control signal input from the control unit. Accordingly, the printer and the method of driving the cooling fan of the printer are capable of shortening the warming-up time to increase an initial printing speed, preventing the printing unit from being overheated, extending a lifespan of the cooling fan, and reducing a power consumption.

摘要： A method and apparatus for measuring the volume of toner consumed in a printer using a beam modulation technique, wherein: printing data, which is input in units of multiple numbers of bits per pixel in synchronization with a video clock signal, is converted into bit values corresponding to equal sections into which each pixel is divided depending on the number of bits per pixel. Next, a carry value is obtained by summing the bit values corresponding to the number of converted sections of printing data with the previous bit value. Then, the carry value obtained in this manner is counted. The counted carry value is multiplied by a predetermined value, and the volume of toner consumed is measured using the resulting product.
