摘要:
There is disclosed a method of maintaining at a desired level the temperature of components in a copying machine which is in its idle state. An electric power is supplied members in the machine having an impedance component after the copying operation has been stopped. The voltage of the power must be set at a value lower than the rated voltage of the members.

A copying or printing machine includes processing units operative for reproducing a copy of an original, a read-only memory having program sequences stored which are composed of coded steps necessary for accomplishing printing or copying cycles, and a random-access memory in which a set of coded signals may be written in and read out. The processing units are actuated in response to coded signals in accordance with the program sequences.

A diagnostic program determines whether the machine is in a proper or improper operational state, and the scanning device is moved to a predetermined position in response to the positioning program after the entry of the key inputs by the entry program, and a copying operation is then enabled. The key entry program is executed after the machine starts, and the positioning program is executed before the start of the scanning device and after the key input entry, wherein the scan is inhibited from exposing the recording medium when the diagnostic program determines that the state of the machine is improper, or when the positioning program determines that the scanning device is not in the predetermined position. Also, the scan is enabled for exposing the recording medium when the diagnostic program determines that the state of the machine is proper and the positioning program determines that the scanning device is in the predetermined position.
摘要:
A temperature and humidity compensating device is provided in electrophotographic apparatus including a photosensitive medium having a photoconductive layer, an image forming unit for forming an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive medium, a heat source disposed near the photosensitive medium for heating the latter, a temperature detector disposed remotely from the heat source for detecting the temperature of the photosensitive medium, and control means for controlling the heating of the heat source so that the temperature of the photosensitive medium detected by the detector is not lower than the ambient temperature. Thus, the photosensitive medium may be prevented from deterioration due to falling temperature and moisture absorption, thereby permitting a normal image formation to be achieved.

An image forming device having a plurality of image forming modes to enable an image reproduced member to be formed under various conditions, in which a predetermined image forming mode is selected out of the abovementioned image forming modes and automatically set when the power source is turned on, or after the image formation has been finished, or in other particular states.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a device for setting the apparatus in a check mode to check a state of the apparatus and for selectively executing one of a plurality of check operations. In one aspect, each check operation is set using a commonly provided numeral key, and the check mode is unconditionally released using a clear key. In another aspect, one of the check modes includes a test movement of a movable member used in image formation. In still other aspects, sheet transporting operations are controlled based on the location of a sheet jam, or based on the selection of a sheet sorter. The state of each of the image formation devices is checked even if an improper state has already been detected, plural error states are repeatedly displayed in a specific order, and a display unit is commonly used.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming mechanism, an input device for setting image formation data necessary to command desired image formation, first and second displays for displaying the data input through the input device and for indicating that the apparatus is ready to form images, respectively, a starter for commanding image formation to commence, a timer, and a controller. The timer controls the first display to return the image formation data to predetermined values if the starter has not been actuated during a predetermined time interval. The controller controls the image forming mechanism to form an image according to the displayed data if the starter is actuated after the ready indication, controls the input device to allow the input of data even before the ready indication in which case the timer begins to time after the ready indication, and controls the timer to reset if new image formation data is input during the predetermined time.
摘要:
A copying apparatus with a detachable sorter capable of detecting the receiving capacity of the sorter and controlling the function or display of the apparatus accordingly. Also the data concerning the sorter bins are manually set on the apparatus for controlling the function or display of the apparatus accordingly.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a process input device for setting various data for image formation, process unit for making images on a recording medium repeatedly in accordance with the data set by the input device, detection devices for detecting a trouble of the process unit, a control unit for selectively controlling the detecting operations of the detection devices, and circuitry for preventing the image forming operation in response to the detection of a trouble by the detection devices. In the apparatus, diagnosis is executed for objects to which it is necessary and the image forming process is controlled by the outcome of the diagnosis.
摘要:
A double-side image forming apparatus has input unit for entering the number of desired image formation for forming images on both faces of a sheet-shaped image bearing member and a storage section for storing said image bearing member after image formation on a first face thereof. The apparatus is adapted, when the image formation on the first face of said image bearing members is interrupted before the completion of said desired number of image formations, to conduct in continuation the image formation on the second face of the image bearing members stored in said storage section.
