    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus wherein a user can change a gradation curve of the density of reproduced image plotted against the input image signal obtained by reading a document, it is needed to compensate a change of color of a reproduced image accompanied by the selection of a changed gradation curve. Then, when input multi-tone image signals of R, G and B are converted to multi-tone image signals of Y, M and C for printing, the masking coefficient used for the conversion from R, G and B to Y, M and C is changed according to the changed gradation curve. Then, the multi-tone image signals of Y, M and C are converted to light quantity data of a beam for exposing a photoconductor to form an image on the photoconductor according to the gradation curve.

    摘要: In an electrophotographic process, a laser beam exposes a photoconductor according to image density level to form a latent image. In the exposure, a duty ratio of light emission period to a length of a dot is changed according to the density level. In a first mode, the duty ratio is decreased with the density level if the density level is lower than a predetermined density level, while in a second mode, the duty ratio is increased if the density level is higher than a predetermined density level. Thus, the nonlinearity of gradation characteristic is improved. A user can select a desired mode among three modes on the duty ratio to reproduce an image of desired image quality. Thus, the nonlinearity of gradation characteristic is improved, and an image can be reproduced stably.

    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus, a document image is read as digital data, and an image type of bi-level image or multi-level image is discriminated from the digital data. For a bi-level image, an intensity of laser beam for exposing a photoconductor is modulated according to the image data with a duty ratio of 100%. On the other hand, for a multi-level image such as a photograph image, the intensity of laser beam is modulated with a duty ratio in the unit of two or more dots according to the image data. The duty ratio and the laser output power are changed according to a type or document image or according to sensitivity characteristic of the photoconductor.

    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus with use of electrophotographic process, an electrostatic latent image is formed by modulating the intensity of laser beam according to image data to expose a photoconductor in the raster scan to form an electrostatic latent image. A scan line is divided into groups of consecutive dots, and the exposure of the photoconductor with the beam is allowed only for a predetermined light-emitting time within the time needed to scan a predetermined period of consecutive dots in the scan line direction. Thus, the exposure is stopped periodically and the smoothness of a reproduced image is improved.

    摘要: In a digital image forming apparatus, the intensity or the pulse width of laser beam exposure is modulated according to image signals of a document detected by a sensor. A peak waveform having a peak is generated in each light-emitting period of laser beam. For example, and a signal having a peak is synthesized with the image signals to generate the peak waveform. Thus, the laser is driven according to the peak waveforms so that the exposed portions on a photoconductor in correspondence to the peaks are exposed with a larger quantity of light at low densities. Then, the amount of the gamma correction can be decreased and the gradation characteristic can be stabilized.

    摘要: The transporting speed of a developer transporting roller is switched over depending on the condition whether a developing unit is operated for developing process or the developing unit is not in action for developing operation, and a comparable standard value for making a decision whether toner replenishment is required or not is changed based on the toner density value detected by a magnetic sensor when the developing unit is operated or is not in action for developing operation. When the developing unit has finished a predetermined number of operations, and image forming operation is suspended, a developer stirring and transporting roller is driven for a duration of time corresponding to the number of developing operations conducted, and toner density detection and toner replenishment is carried out corresponding to the toner density detected.
