    摘要: A staging assembly for use in an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a paper feed assembly having a plurality of rollers for feeding a transfer sheet to an electrophotographic assembly. A removable idler gear is interposed between the paper feed assembly and the electrophotographic assembly, and drives the paper feed assembly when installed. A staging assembly drives the paper feed assembly when the idler gear is removed and includes a rotatable drive element for connection to and rotation of one of the rollers; a drive unit for rotatably driving the rotatable drive element; and an electrical connector for electrically connecting the staging assembly to the electrophotographic assembly. The staging assembly is a modular assembly which is connectable to and removable from the paper feed assembly.

    摘要: Each sheet is picked from a stack of sheets with the time of it being picked being determined in accordance with the time of the prior pick. The sum of the times to advance a sheet its length and a desired gap between adjacent sheets is equal to a pick delay time and an expected feed time. If the measured feed time of the prior sheet exceeds a maximum feed time, the pick delay is the same as for the prior sheet. If the measured feed time of the prior sheet does not exceed the maximum feed time and the measured feed time of the prior sheet was less than the expected feed time, the pick delay is greater than the pick delay of the prior sheet. If the measured feed time of the prior sheet does not exceed the maximum feed time and the measured feed time of the prior sheet was not less than the expected feed time, the pick delay is less than the pick delay for the prior sheet.

    摘要: The number of pages of a print job received at printer (10) is determined (256). If the number of pages is low, printing is conducted at intermediate speed (262). If the number of pages is higher, printing is conducted at high speed (254). If the number of pages is not known, a default is selected (260). The default often will be to print at intermediate speed because most jobs are short. If high speed printing is in progress when a job is received, the next job is printed at high speed (254). Alternatively, a predetermined number of the first pages of a job may be printed at intermediate speed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing a relatively short period of time for a fuser assembly to be ready to perform a fusing operation. Included is a fusing assembly having a heat transfer member and a backup member positioned to engage the heat transfer member so as to define a fusing nip therewith; and a controller coupled to the fuser assembly, wherein during a period of time when the fuser assembly is not performing a fusing operation, the controller activates the heat transfer member while causing the backup member to rotate at one or more relatively slow speeds relative to a fusing speed of the fuser assembly.

    摘要: A printing system for duplex printing of a banner media is disclosed. The printing system includes a drive roll, a pair of nipping rolls abuttingly coupled to the drive roll forming a first nip and a second nip with the drive roll, a media path including a printing region and a duplex region, and a diverter disposed in the media path and coupled to the drive roll. A first side of the banner media is printed in the printing region and exited partially from the first nip. Further, the partially exited banner media is re-fed into the duplex region and transferred to the printing region to print the second side of the banner media and exited from the second nip. The duplex region is capable of receiving the banner media from the first nip and the printing region is capable of exiting the banner media from the second nip simultaneously.

    摘要: Before warm-up of a printer, sheets are initially fed for printing based on a normal assumed lock time for rotation of polygonal mirror (116) of a laser printhead (100). After an initial printing when in a mode in which the printer is warmed, such as a standby mode, sheets are fed for printing based on a lock time shorter than the normal lock time. When a lock time failure is observed when using the shorter lock time, use of the longer lock time is resumed. Time to begin printing is improved by the use of the shorter lock time.

    摘要: A method of controlling a speed of a print medium through a printer includes the step of providing a print medium transport assembly with a range of print medium transport speeds between a minimum print medium transport speed and a maximum print medium transport speed. A print engine is provided with a print engine speed. The range of print medium transport speeds is divided into subranges of print medium transport speeds. A requested speed is provided to the print medium transport assembly which corresponds to the print engine speed. For each subrange, an acceleration profile control equation, a constant speed control equation, and a deceleration profile control equation is determined. The constant speed control equation is dependent upon the requested speed. One of the subranges of print medium transport speeds is identified which encompasses the requested speed. The print medium is transported through the print medium transport assembly according to the acceleration profile control equation, the constant speed control equation, and the deceleration profile control equation associated with the selected subrange.
