The present invention can also display equipments so as to allow discrimination between an equipment included in an image processing apparatus and an equipment connected on a communication line. Equipments in a network environment are placed on the first floor (1F), the second floor (2F), and the third floor (3F) in a building and connected through a network (LAN 1300). For example, a computer (1310) collects device information including status information and setting position information from usable input/output devices. For example, status information representing “BUSY” and setting position information representing “3F-B block” are transferred from a virtual optical scanner (1302). The computer (1310) displays the connected input/output devices together with the setting position information obtained from the devices. An image processing apparatus (100) has various input/output devices including a reader unit (1), a printer unit (2), and an image input/output control unit (3). In addition, various input/output equipments (two optical scanner devices (1302, 1303) and three facsimile transmission/reception devices (1305, 1306, 1307)) are connected to the image processing apparatus (100) through a LAN interface unit (9) and the LAN (1300).

摘要： In an image forming apparatus, change in electrical current value flowing through an exciting coil of a motor is measured for a predetermined time period, and, if a measurement result of the change in electrical current value obtained by the measuring means by the measurement for the predetermined time period exceeds a predetermined value, it is judged that loss of synchronism is generated. There are provided loss of synchronism detecting means, sheet detecting means disposed in a sheet conveying path of a sheet conveying system driven by the motor, and jam detecting means for judging that jam is generated if a sheet detecting condition of the sheet detecting means is continued for a certain time period or if the sheet is not detected by the sheet detecting means while the motor is being driven. It is judged that the jam is caused on the basis of the loss of synchronism of the motor if the jam is detected by the jam detecting means when the loss of synchronism is judged by the loss of synchronis detecting means.

摘要： A CPU for a motor driving apparatus of an image forming apparatus excites a predetermined phase winding among plural phases of a stepping motor for a predetermined time period. Thereafter, before a rotation of the motor is started, it is judged whether there is the possibility of deviating a positional relationship between a rotor and a stator of the motor from a positional relationship determined by the excitation of the predetermined phase winding for the predetermined time period, by an external force, on the basis of judgement whether a door is opened for jam treatment. If the possibility of deviation is judged, the predetermined phase winding among plural phases of the stepping motor is excited again for a predetermined time period.
