Abstract:
An inkjet recording apparatus including: a recording head; a recording medium moving section; a position information detecting section synchronized with a movement of the recording medium moving section; a mark recording section for recording a mark on the recording medium; a mark detecting section for detecting the mark recorded; an analog-to-digital conversion section for converting an output signal; and a control section for obtaining a reference mark position of the mark based on a signal outputted from the mark detecting section and the position information detected, and for determining the amount of recording medium movement on the basis of reference detection position of the mark; wherein analog-to-digital conversion is applied to the output signal from the mark detecting section to get a sampling data, in exact timing with an output of position information, and the control section calculates the reference detection position from the sampling data.
Abstract:
A method of indicating a setting screen of an image forming machine on which a touch-panel is displayed, wherein automatic setting conditions and a manual mode button are displayed on an initial screen; and when a touch operation is conducted on the manual mode button, a manual setting screen is indicated and an operating condition can be manually set by a touch operation on the manual setting screen.
Abstract:
A sorter provided with a stapler for use with an image forming apparatus, in which there are provided a plurality of bins each for accommodating various widths of recording sheets delivered from the image forming apparatus, the center of the sheets being positioned in the center of the bins. An aligner aligns the accommodated sheets by pushing the sides of the sheets toward a reference stop wall on each of the bins, and a casing to house the bins is integrated into a unit. The casing is movable in a direction at right angles to a feeding direction of the sheets, and is moved to correspond with the width of the sheets. The home position of the casing is set to a position where the minimum width of sheets are accommodated.
Abstract:
An automatic document feeding apparatus in which a plurality of documents are sequentially fed to an image exposure section. Before the completion of the exposure of a foregoing document, the feeding of a following document is started to place the document on a given position before the image exposure section and stopped thereon temporarily for stand-by. The position of the temporary stop of the following document can be varied in accordance with document size detecting signals from a document size detector or selected in such a manner that the distance between the trailing end of the foregoing document and the leading end of the following document becomes constant substantially irrespective of the size of the document.
Abstract:
A document feeding apparatus having a conveyor belt which moves documents along a platen glass plate of a photoreproducing machine, first and second rollers which support the conveyor belt, a driving source connected to the first roller, and a member for driving the second roller so that it prevents the conveyor belt from slackening. In preferred forms of the device, the first roller is connected to the second roller by a one-way clutch and the line speed of the first or second roller on the document feed side is greater than the line speed of the first or second roller on the discharge side.
Abstract:
A document feeding apparatus wherein a member for regulating the rear end of a document is provided movably in non-stepped manner substantially in a document feeding direction at the back of a document stacker having a paper feeding unit at the forward portion thereof. The movement of the rear end regulating member is controlled by a control device. A movable paper discharging device is provided. The movable paper discharging device has a discharging member, which is trained so as to surround the rear end portion of the document stacker in the shape of letter "C".
Abstract:
A copying machine having an optical scanner adapted to transfer an optical image onto a photoreceptor during movement between the scanner and the object to be copied. A platen cover with a document-holding surface bears against the document being copied and is provided with a plurality of colored portions corresponding to various sizes of documents in the scanning direction. There is a light projector which irradiates the surface of the platen, including the colored portions, and a light-receiving means adapted to distinguish the colored portions from the rest of the surface. The light receiving means generates an output signal which corresponds to the colored portions and there is a means for determining, from the output, whether the signal is in the range corresponding to the wavelength of the colored portions.

Abstract:
In a liquid jetting apparatus provided with a head provided with a liquid jetting section; a feeding section for feeding a liquid to the head; and a control section for controlling the liquid jetting section to jet the liquid such that a jetting trace of the liquid is recorded on a recording medium; the liquid jetting apparatus is further provided with a liquid ejecting section for varying a pressure in the head in plural steps so as to eject the liquid in the head from the liquid jetting section.
Abstract:
An electric circuit provided with an abnormal condition detector for a motor, for use in a toner image forming apparatus, includes a current detection circuit for detecting a presence of a current when a power supply circuit is switched OFF; a test circuit for confirming a line connection between a control circuit and a switch by transmitting a test signal between the control circuit and the switch and a control circuit for determining an abnormal section causing an abnormal condition of a motor.
