摘要:
A CMOS sensor scans an image that is either on a transfer material carrier or on a transfer material that is placed on the transfer material carrier. A sampling timing controller samples an image signal at a predetermined sampling rate and computes a position of a predetermined pattern contained within the sampled image signal. A speed computation processor computes a moving speed of either the transfer material carrier or the transfer material, based on the position of the predetermined pattern thus sampled at the predetermined sampling rate and computed, as well as the predetermined sampling rate. The image region that the CMOS sensor scans is determined in accordance with the rotational speed of the drive motor and the sampling rate.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus which can reduce color shift and image blurring caused by increased temperature in the apparatus and form high-quality images without causing an increase in the cost and size of the apparatus. An image sensor unit reads surface patterns of an intermediate transfer belt. A digital signal processor (DSP) controls the movement of the belt in a transverse direction perpendicular to a moving direction thereof based on the surface patterns of the belt read by the image sensor unit.

A fixing apparatus comprises: a fixing rotary body; a rotary body provided with an interval from the fixing rotary body; an endless belt rotating in a condition in which it is wound around the fixing rotary body and the rotary body; a pressure rotary body which makes a pressure contact with the fixing roller across the endless belt; a heater for heating a recording material conveyed by the endless belt; a cooling unit for cooling a recording material conveyed by the endless belt and heated by the heater; and an error detecting means for detecting an error in conveyance of the recording material. When an error is detected in the downstream of the cooling unit by the error detecting means, the recording material is stopped after the recording material on the endless belt is conveyed to a position in which the cooling unit cools the recording material

A sheet conveying device for conveying a sheet includes a displacement-amount detector configured to detect an amount of displacement of a conveyed sheet from a conveyance reference in a width direction being substantially perpendicular to a sheet conveying direction and a plurality of sheet conveying roller portions configured to be shiftable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sheet conveying direction while pinching the sheet having the amount of displacement detected by the displacement-amount detector. Before the sheet reaches the sheet conveying roller portions, the sheet conveying roller portions are shifted based on the amount of displacement detected by the displacement-amount detector from a conveyance-reference position in a direction in which the sheet is displaced. After the sheet reaches the sheet conveying roller portions, the sheet conveying roller portions are shifted while pinching the sheet so as to reduce the amount of displacement.

When an abnormality factor occurs in a second heating device, a sheet located upstream of a branch portion is discharged onto a discharge tray through a second conveying path. After the abnormality factor in the second heating device is removed and the sheet discharged to the discharge tray through the second conveying path is set in a paper refeeding tray, a sheet feeding portion feeds the sheet set in the paper refeeding tray to the second heating device.

An image forming apparatus includes an endless belt type transfer member configured to carry an image formed with developer of a plurality of colors, a drive roller configured to drive the transfer member by rotating while contacting the transfer member, a first detection unit configured to detect a mark provided on the transfer member, a second detection unit configured to detect the mark at a position different from the position of the first detection unit in a conveyance direction of the transfer member, and a correction unit configured to correct a conveyance speed of the transfer member using a difference between respective times at which the first and second detection units detect the mark. The first and second detection units are located such that an interval between respective positions at which the first and second detection units detect the mark is an integral multiple of a perimeter of the drive roller.
