摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a transferring device equipped with an endless rotating member for transferring a recording sheet while holding the recording sheet on a surface of the rotating member by rotating the rotating member. This transferring device has a first position, a second position and a third position in this order along a rotation path of the rotating member. Furthermore, the image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion for forming an image on the recording sheet being transferred from the first position to the second position by the transferring device, the image forming portion being provided between the first position and the second position so as to face the transferring device, and an inverting portion for receiving the recording sheet having an image formed by the image forming portion and transferred to the second position by the transferring device, inverting the recording sheet, and feeding the inverted recording sheet to the transferring device at the third position.

An image forming apparatus includes a recording sheet feeding member which feeds a recording sheet on a feed tray to a transporting path, an endless recording sheet transporting member having an inappropriate portion which is not suitable for use in forming an image, a transporting member which transports the recording sheet fed from the recording sheet feeding member to the recording sheet transporting member, and an inappropriate portion detector which detects an inappropriate portion on the recording sheet transporting member. A controller controls the transporting member such that the recording sheet is fed so as to avoid the inappropriate portion based on a result detected by the inappropriate portion detector.

An image forming apparatus includes a recording sheet transporting member which has an inappropriate portion not suitable for forming an image and which transports a recording sheet while holding the recording sheet thereon, the recording sheet transporting member being endless, and a recording sheet feeding member which feeds the recording sheet to the recording sheet transporting member. The image forming apparatus further includes a controller. The controller controls at least one of the recording sheet transporting member and the recording sheet feeding member in accordance with data regarding a characteristic of the recording sheet so that the recording sheet is fed to the recording sheet transporting member so as not to be located on the inappropriate portion in a case where the image forming apparatus is in a first mode, and so that the recording sheet is fed to the recording sheet transporting member regardless of the inappropriate portion in a case where the image forming apparatus is in a second mode.
摘要:
A process cartridge having a nonvolatile memory for storing prescribed information corresponding to addresses is detachably attached to a main body of an image forming device. The nonvolatile memory stores first destination information of “shipment destination” data to be used to control the printing operation by a control system of the main body of the image forming device and second destination information of “lot No.” data not to be used to control the printing operation by the control system. The nonvolatile memory allows the image forming device to perform an appropriate printing operation without changing a program of the main body of the image forming device even when a new destination is arisen for a reason of production management, marketing etc. after beginning to put the image forming device on the market.
摘要:
A process cartridge having a nonvolatile memory for storing prescribed information corresponding to addresses is detachably attached to a main body of an image forming device. The nonvolatile memory includes a first address at which data including a shipment destination used by a control system of the main body of the image forming device is stored, a second address where data including process control information to further control the control system of the main body is stored, a first unused address at which data including a destination code is stored and which is used by the control system of the main body of the image forming device is not defined, and a second unused address at which no data is stored and of which use by the control system of the main body of the image forming device is not defined.
摘要:
A process cartridge removably insertable in a body of an image-forming apparatus. The process cartridge has at least one constituent element executing an image formation process, and a non-volatile memory. In the non-volatile memory, data having an identical content are stored at a plurality of mutually spaced locations, the number of which depends on a kind of the data. With respect the locations for the data of an identical content, an address shift amount from one location to another is set according to the kind of the data.

An image forming apparatus includes an endless transporting member having an portion which is not suitable for forming an image, a feeder for feeding the recording sheet to the transporting member, and a judge member which judges whether or not the recording sheet has an overlap-permissible region which allows to overlap the portion. The recording sheet is fed to the transporting member based on a judged result of the judge member so that the portion is located in the overlap-permissible region, or so that the portion is not located in the overlap-permissible region.
摘要:
A copying machine inputs a designated area to which image processing is applied as well as details of the image processing. The copying machine recognizes a character included in the designated area. A character which is the same as the recognized character is retrieved from image data and the retrieved one is subjected to the image processing. Accordingly, by designating a character at one location, the image processing is applied to all of the other characters.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a recording sheet transporting member which transports a recording sheet while holding the recording sheet thereon, the recording sheet transporting member being endless, a recording sheet re-feeding member which inverts the recording sheet and re-feeds the inverted recording sheet to the recording sheet transporting member to thereby allow transferring images on both sides of the recording sheet, and a recording sheet supplying member which supplies the recording sheet from a recording sheet storing portion toward the recording sheet transporting member. The apparatus further includes a controller which controls the recording sheet supplying member so that a supplying of the recording sheet from the recording sheet storing portion is interrupted and then re-tried in a predetermined case. The controller corrects a re-try timing at which the supplying of the recording sheet is re-tried so that the recording sheet being re-tried to be supplied by the recording sheet supplying member does not overlap the inverted recording sheet re-fed by the recording sheet re-feeding member.
