摘要:
When conveying an envelope, a posture of the envelope is corrected by hitting a closed portion of the envelope, which is opposite side of an opened portion of the envelope, against a nip portion between upper and lower rollers of the pre-registration rollers and the envelope is then conveyed with the envelope being nipped by the upper and lower rollers of the pre-registration rollers. The upper and lower rollers of the pre-registration rollers nip the envelope to remove air from the envelope. When setting an envelope mode to control a conveying speed of the envelope based on a coverage rate of an image to be formed on the envelope, the conveying speed of the envelope is controlled by adjusting a rotation speed of the registration rollers based on the coverage rate of the set envelope mode.

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus, which makes it possible to reduce the frequency of image defect occurrences to a level as lower as possible by detecting abnormalities generated with age on the photoreceptor member and/or in the cleaning section, so as to suppress an amount of spoiled paper sheets and material. The image forming apparatus includes: a light source that is disposed at a position located between a cleaning section and a charging section, to emit an inspection light, which is to be irradiated onto a photoreceptor member over a main-scanning direction thereof; a tight-contact type image sensor that has a line image sensor to receive the inspection light reflected from a surface of the photoreceptor member; and a control section to determine a status of a surface of the photoreceptor member, based on a result of analyzing the inspection light receive by the line image sensor.

An image forming apparatus acquires sheet information indicating paper weight or the like of a transported sheet of paper. The apparatus also has a control portion and shifts a reference position which has been previously set to a direction orthogonal to a transporting direction of the sheet of paper based on the paper weight or the like of the transported sheet of paper. A deviation sensor detects a deviation of the sheet of paper with regard to the shifted reference position along the direction orthogonal to the transporting direction of the sheet of paper. A sheet shift portion shifts the sheet of paper to the shifted reference position based on the deviation detected by the deviation sensor.

An image forming apparatus including: a registration section which registers information on a diagnostic mode, where an operation mode to diagnose inside the image forming apparatus based on error information is assumed to be the diagnostic mode; an error detecting section which detects an error in the apparatus and outputs error information; and a control section which, when the error detecting section outputs error information, receives the information on the diagnostic mode corresponding to the error information from the registration section, and executes problem solution and recovery of the apparatus.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus for forming a color image by superposing component color images, a control device obtains position data representing a forming position of each of plural registration mark images for the component color images with respect to a positional reference value arbitrarily determined, divides the position data into each of a unit reference range representing a range in which one mark image is formed, converts the position data divided for each unit reference range into those based on respective reference values representing the front edge of the unit reference ranges, extracts the position data representing ranges common to the mutually overlapping ranges each of which is represented by a couple of position data corresponding to the rising and falling edges of a passage timing pulse as read position data of the mark image of the component color, and calculates the amounts of positional deviations of the component color images from one another on the basis of the position data extracted.

There is described a duplex image-forming apparatus having a function of forming images onto both sides of a transfer material. The apparatus includes an image-forming section to respectively form an obverse-side image and a reverse-side image on a photoreceptor element by scanning a light beam, modulated with image signals based on pixel-clock signals and reflected from a polygon mirror rotating at an operating velocity based on polygon-clock signals; a transferring section to transfer said obverse-side image and said reverse-side image onto both surfaces of said recording sheet; a fixing section to fix the images onto both surfaces of said recording sheet; and a clock-frequency changing section to change a pixel-clock frequency, and a polygon-clock frequency, corresponding to a degree of shrinkage of said recording sheet caused by a fixing operation performed in said fixing section, at a transition time of an image-forming operation from one side to another side.
