An image forming apparatus to which a paper handling unit is connected thereto is provided. The image forming apparatus detects the size of a sheet in a direction in which the sheet is conveyed for image formation. The image forming apparatus outputs sheet size mismatch information indicating that the size of the sheet does not match a predetermined size to the paper handling unit before a size detecting operation thereof has been completed detecting the trailing edge of the sheet is greater than the predetermined size.

The present invention provides an image heating apparatus comprising a first heater, a second heater having a heat generating distribution different from that of the first heater, a heated member to be heated by the first heater and second heater, a temperature detection element for detecting a temperature of the heated member, and a power supply controlling means for controlling power supply to the first heater and second heater on the basis of a temperature detected by the temperature detection element. The power supply controlling means serves to stop the power supply to the first heater when the temperature detected by the temperature detection element reaches a first temperature, and to stop the power supply to the second heater when the temperature detected by the temperature detection element reaches a second temperature different from the first temperature.
摘要:
An apparatus for generating a laser beam modulated on the basis of an information signal, which comprises a circuit for generating a first information signal, a circuit for generating a second information signal, independent of the first information signal, a circuit for driving a semiconductor laser on the basis of the first and the second information signals, wherein the driving circuit comprises first and second switching elements which operate supplementarily with each other, one of the first and second switching elements switches a drive current to the semiconductor laser, and wherein the first information signal is provided into a control terminal of the first switching element and the second information signal is provided into a control terminal of the second switching element.
摘要:
A temperature control device for controlling a surface temperature of a member to be heated at a predetermined temperature includes a detector for detecting the surface temperature, and a control unit for controlling current supply for a heating source for heating the member to be heated so that a result of detection by the detector is maintained at a predetermined value. The control unit controls a time of current supply for the heating source during a constant temperature control according to data relating to peak temperatures of the surface temperature during the constant temperature control.
摘要:
An engine control unit and corresponding method of controlling the engine in which the engine control unit receives a print reservation command for plural pages prior to a print request command from a printer control unit. When the engine control unit received the print reservation command for the plural pages, it is judged whether or not a sheet feed operation of recording sheets can be performed. When it is judged that the recording sheets can be fed, the recording sheets are fed and transported to a predetermined position on a transportation path with a minimum constant interval corresponding to the sheet size by sheet feed rollers or transportation rollers, then printing operation is performed according to the print request command.

A recording apparatus often has a timing to shift to a standby status if there is no residual paper in the apparatus, for example, when a power source is turned on, when the apparatus is recovered from a sleep mode, when a door is closed, when the power source is reset, or the like. When the residual paper is detected in the apparatus at such a timing, the apparatus is controlled to a proper wait status in order to discharge the residual paper and waits for an instruction from the outside. In response to the paper discharging instruction from the outside, a discharging operation of the residual paper is executed.
