摘要:
An image forming system which is capable of realizing a highly accurate simulated printing operation thereby shortening a development schedule and reducing development costs. In the image forming system, a plurality of printer functional modules perform operations for printing. A plurality of printer drivers drive the printer functional modules, respectively. A system controller is connected to the printer drivers via a general-purpose bus to control the printer drivers. A bus I/F connects an external computer to the image forming system via the general-purpose bus. Printer control software constructs a printer control environment enabling control identical to the control by the system controller to be performed on the printer drivers, on the external computer, to thereby carry out printer control. Simulation software cooperates with the printer control software to simulatively realize printing operation.
摘要:
A simulating system having: a data retrieving device which time-sequentially retrieves a control value which is outputted from a control system in an image forming apparatus to a controlled system and an input value inputted from the controlled system to the control system as a control result; a data storing device which stores a time-series data group including a plurality of control values and the input values corresponding to the control values; and a simulating device which simulates the control result of the image forming apparatus corresponding to the control value outputted to the controlled system in accordance with an algorithm, wherein a correlation between each of the control values and the input value corresponding to each of the control values included in the time-series data group has been implemented.
摘要:
A plurality of subsystems having diverse individual functions can be connected to an image forming apparatus. Each of the subsystems is made up of, for example, plural kinds of units which are different in performance from each other. Each of the units has inherent information related to the performance, and decides the operation specification of the entire image forming apparatus according to the combination of those units.

An image forming apparatus includes a position detection circuit which detects the registration error amount between a recording medium conveyance unit and an image forming unit positioned by a positioning mechanism, on the basis of reading of a reference pattern arranged on either unit, and a controller which calculates a correction amount on the basis of the detected registration error amount and controls the operation timings of the image forming unit and recording medium conveyance unit in accordance with the correction amount.
