Provided is an image forming apparatus including: a rotation detection sensor configured to detect rotation of a toner bottle mounted to a mounting unit; a reader configured to communicate to/from a memory mounted to the toner bottle; a controller; and a display. The controller determines whether or not the toner bottle is mounted to the mounting unit based on a detection result obtained by the rotation detection sensor and a communication state of the reader. When determining that the toner bottle has been removed from the mounting unit while a replacement condition for the toner bottle is not satisfied, the controller displays a warning screen for prompting a user to reattach the toner bottle on the display.

The image forming apparatus comprises a photosensitive drum which is replaceable, an intermediate transfer belt unit which is brought into contact with the photosensitive drum to operate and which is replaceable, and a separation motor configured to move the intermediate transfer belt unit in a direction toward the photosensitive drum and in a direction away from the photosensitive drum. The image forming apparatus causes the separation motor to separate the intermediate transfer belt unit and the photosensitive drum from each other in a case where at least one of the photosensitive drum and the intermediate transfer belt unit reaches the replacement timing when the image forming apparatus shifts to a low-power state in which power consumption of the image forming apparatus is suppressed compared with that of the image forming apparatus in a normal operation.

An image forming apparatus capable of improving productivity in a print job mixedly involving single-sided printing and double-sided printing. Sheets are fed one by one to an image forming section. When double-sided printing is to be performed, a sheet having an image formed on the first side thereof by the image forming section is re-fed thereto so as to have an image formed on the second side thereof. When a sheet for double-sided printing exists, which is posterior in page order to a sheet for single-sided printing, an image forming order is changed such that the first side of the sheet for double-sided printing is subjected to image formation prior to the sheet for single-sided printing. When it is predicted that a state will occur in which the sheet for single-sided printing cannot be fed, the image forming order is not changed.

The present invention provides a sheet processing apparatus which includes a punch portion punching a hole at an end part of a sheet, and a push-out member discharging the sheet by pushing the end part of the sheet where the punch process is performed by the punch portion; and the push-out member discharges the sheet at a sheet discharging speed lower than a predetermined speed from the intermediate process tray in accordance with punch process information (i.e., combination of a size and a type of the sheet and number, a shape and a size of holes) that strength of a sheet end part is decreased by the punch process, and is lower than predetermined sheet strength capable of being discharged at the predetermined speed.

An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of parts each configured to operate to form an image; and at least one processor configured to control an operation of the image forming apparatus. The at least one processor has a function of executing the following processing: error detection processing of detecting occurrence of an error of each part; failure portion identification processing of identifying a failure portion which is a cause of the error; and determination processing of determining, in a case where the image forming apparatus is reactivated after the identification of the failure portion by the failure portion identification processing, whether there is a failure in a part corresponding to the failure portion information before execution of a preparation operation for enabling an image forming operation.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus on which a developer container is replaceably mounted and which is improved in usability. An image forming unit of the apparatus forms an image using developer contained in a container which is mounted on a mount section. A replenishment mechanism replenishes the developer in the container to the image forming unit, and a cover is opened to mount the container on the mount section and is closed to protect the container mounted on the mount section. If the cover is opened after it is closed in a state in which the container has been removed from the mount section while a predetermined condition related to a remaining amount of the developer in the container is not satisfied, a remount screen is displayed for prompting a user to remount the removed container.
摘要:
In the present invention, an image forming apparatus, when executing a preparation operation to set a state enabling an image forming operation independently from a request to start image formation, determines, as an operation mode, a color mode for executing preparation operations of all image forming units corresponding to each color of developer, or a monochrome mode for executing a preparation operation of only an image forming unit corresponding to a single color of developer in accordance with warning information indicating a state of the image forming apparatus, and executing a preparation operation in the determined operation mode.
