Abstract: An image forming apparatus receives setting of an object to be adjusted, on an adjustment object selection screen when selecting an adjustment mode. After the object to be adjusted is set, camera(s) photograph(s) the object to be adjusted so that the image forming apparatus obtains photographed data of current object to be adjusted. Next, the apparatus searches photographed data of the object to be adjusted in the ideal state thereof from the database. Name of the object to be adjusted and related information in the photographed data agree with those of the photographed data of current object to be adjusted. The higher ranked related information is preferentially searched and it is determined whether or not pieces of the higher ranked related information thus preferentially searched agree with each other.

Abstract: An improved image detection apparatus is described which can colorimetrically measure an appropriate number of patches while inhibiting unnecessary sheet discharging. A correction chart consists of a plurality of patches linearly arranged in the form of a plurality of patch arrays which are parallelly arranged in the sheet width direction. The image detection apparatus includes a paper conveying unit for conveying a sheet on which the correction chart is formed, an image reading unit and a colorimetric unit which outputs the color information of each patch by performing the colorimetric process with the patch array consisting of a line of the patche. Then, while circulating a sheet, a control unit performs switch control for switching the patch array from one to the next to be colorimetrically measured by the colorimetric unit.

Abstract: A serial tandem image forming system is described which is capable of inhibiting both the degradation of image quality and the reduction of the productivity. This system consists mainly of the control units of upstream and downstream apparatuses. When a preceding sheet differs from the subsequent sheet in sheet type, a control unit for controlling the image forming system has the subsequent sheet stand by at a paper stop roller of the upstream apparatus, and performs the operation of switching the operating states of the upstream and downstream apparatuses in accordance with the sheet type of the subsequent sheet. Also, the control unit predicts the timing of finishing the switching of the operating state, and then re-starts the conveyance of the subsequent sheet, in advance of finishing the switching of the operating state, by controlling the paper stop roller on the basis of the predicted finishing timing.
