摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a printing side and a host side. Status signals are transmitted from the printing side to the host side and, according to the status signals, commands are transmitted from the host side to the printing side to execute printing operations. One exclusive line is added to status lines and used to inform the host side of changes in urgent statuses of the printing side.According to another aspect, an image forming apparatus has a printing side and a host side that transmits various data signals to the printing side. The printing side outputs a video clock signal whose frequencey changes in proportion to a recording density of the printing side. According to the video clock signal, the host side transmits a video data signal to the printing side.

An image forming apparatus having a humidity detector which is detachably attached to the main apparatus body that accommodates an image forming member. The humidity detector detects a humidity in the vicinity of the image forming member, converts the detected humidity into a relative humidity and outputs it. Based on the value of the output relative humidity, image forming conditions, such as the amount of exposure, are set. The humidity detecting unit contains a time detecting unit for detecting the time for replacement.

In an apparatus for adjusting the intensity of a light beam, a first driving current which is stepwisely increased in a first cycle is supplied to a semiconductor laser. The light beam is deflected to scan a photosensitive drum and is detected to generate a positional signal by a photodetector outside of the drum. The intensity of the light beam is also detected by a monitor detector and compared with a predetermined target intensity. The comparison result is latched in a latch circuit to determine a first drive signal. When the intensity of the light beam reaches the target intensity after the generation of the positional signal, a second drive signal is generated in a second cycle longer than the first cycle instead of the first drive signal and is supplied to the semiconductor laser. The second drive signal is determined in accordance with the comparison result latched in the latch circuit.

When a monochromatic copy mode is to be executed, a control section sets a read mode in a scanner section so as to enable the scanner section to read an image at high speed by means of only a line sensor K, sets in an image processing section an image process that can print monochromatic image information, which is sent from the scanner section, with a single black color in the printer section, and sets in the printer section a monochromatic print mode that can print a black image at high speed, thereby controlling a monochromatic copy operation.

A beam position detector output processor converts an output from a beam position detector into beam position information. A main control unit detects a total offset value of a plurality of operational amplifiers constituting the processor. The detected offset value is used to compensate a determination reference value used to control the sub-scanning position of a beam, or the beam position information obtained from the beam position detector output processor. As a result, the offsets of the operational amplifiers constituting the beam position detector output processor are compensated.
摘要:
An image reading apparatus which has position deviated line sensors. The line sensors are formed by charge coupled devices which are arranged in two staggered rows. The signal from one of the charge coupled devices is delayed for a predetermined period corresponding to the distance between the rows, the speed of scanning and the reading density of the original. An actual timing deviation is calculated to delay one signal relative to the other so that the two signals will be output at the same time.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for color signal compensation are disclosed. A quality of one type of signal is enhanced using a second type of signal, wherein the second type of signal has a higher quality than that of the unenhanced first type of signal. This may be used in an image forming apparatus for scanning a color image, and using higher-resolution monochrome signals to enhance the resolution of lower-resolution color signals.
