A printing method and a printing apparatus including a stencil printing apparatus and so on. Focusing on the relationship that exists between copy number and master position displacement that occurs during printing, by determining by pretest and setting top-bottom shift correction values in accordance with parameters including copy number that affect printed master position displacement in the direction of rotation of a plate cylinder, and during printing, utilizing conventionally used top-bottom shift means to automatically execute top-bottom shift correction in accordance with the set top-bottom shift correction values, printing position displacement can be prevented from occurring, waste of master and printing medium such as paper can be eliminated and, in addition, the operation time can be shortened and the number of operation steps can be reduced. The CPU of control means, each time the copy number counted by a paper discharge sensor reaches a predetermined copy number, reads a top-bottom shift correction value corresponding to a predetermined copy number from a ROM, and during printing, controls a top-bottom shift motor of top-bottom shift means to execute a top-bottom shift correction in accordance with the read top-bottom shift correction value.

A duplex printing device comprises a duplex printing master on which a first image and a second image are perforated in series over the length of a single plate, and a simplex printing master on which a third image having an image area equivalent to the first image and the second image is perforated over the length of a single plate. The duplex printing master or simplex printing master is wrapped around an outer peripheral surface of a print drum, thereby enabling a duplex printing operation in which one of the first image and second image is printed by pressing a front side of a sheet against the duplex printing master on the print drum using pressing means which can be brought into and out of contact with the print drum, after which the other of the first image and the second image is printed by reversing and refeeding the sheet and pressing a reverse side of the sheet against the duplex printing master on the print drum using the pressing means, and a simplex printing operation in which the third image is printed by pressing one side of the sheet against the simplex printing master on the print drum. When power is supplied to the duplex printing device, during mode clearance for clearing various modes executed by the duplex printing device, and so on, a preset initial set mode can be switched between a duplex print mode for performing the duplex printing operation and a simplex print mode for performing the simplex printing operation.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet stacking section configured to stack a number of sheets, a sheet feeding mechanism configured to feed the sheet stacked on the sheet stacking section one by one, and an intermediate conveying device configured to convey the sheet fed from the sheet feeding mechanism to an image forming apparatus. The intermediate conveying device includes a plurality of sheet conveying devices arranged in an intermediate sheet conveying path at certain intervals to convey the sheet fed from the sheet feeding mechanism, at least one driving device configured to drive each of the plurality of sheet conveying devices, and a plurality of sheet detecting devices arranged in the intermediate sheet conveying path at certain intervals to detect a sheet length by detecting at least one of a leading edge and a trailing edge of the conveyed sheet. The sheet feeding apparatus further includes a control device configured to judge the length of a first sheet according to signals sent from the plurality of sheet detecting devices at an initialization time at which the conveying operation for the first sheet is completed, in which when the sheet feeding apparatus and the image forming apparatus are mechanically connected and are allowed to communicate with each other, the control device stops a sheet conveying operation of the image forming apparatus if the length of a sheet is judged to be different from the length of the first sheet after the initialization time.
摘要:
A stencil printer includes a plurality of ink drums spaced from each other in the direction of paper conveyance and each having a respective master wrapped therearound. An upstream ink drum and pressing means movable into and out of contact with the upstream ink drum define an upstream print position. A downstream ink drum and pressing means movable into and out of contact with the downstream ink drum define a downstream print position. An intermediate conveyor is located between the upstream print position and the downstream print position for conveying a paper carrying an image printed at the upstream print position toward the downstream print position. A distance which the paper moves from the upstream print position to the downstream print position is longer than a distance between the upstream print position and the downstream print position. Defective printing is reduced even when the peripheral speed of the upstream ink drum and that of the downstream ink drum are different from each other.
摘要:
A stencil printing apparatus for wrapping a master around an outer circumferential surface of a plate cylinder to perform printing, the stencil printing apparatus being capable of preventing the occurrence of abnormal images or afterimage phenomenon which causes confidential information leakage, without increasing cost or causing any problems. This stencil printing apparatus has time measuring means for measuring a leaving time during which the apparatus is left stand, and when a plate discharge command is output before the leaving time exceeds a first predetermined time while the master is wrapped around the outer circumferential surface, the stencil printing apparatus is shifted to a standby state after the master is discharged from the outer circumferential surface.

A duplex printing device including a duplex printing master on which two images are perforated in series over a single plate, and a simplex printing master on which a third image is perforated over the single plate. Either master is wrapped around an outer peripheral surface of a print drum, enabling duplex printing operation in which one of the two images is printed by pressing a front side of a sheet against the duplex printing master on the print drum using a presser which can be brought into and out of contact with the print drum, after which the other image is printed by reversing and refeeding the sheet and pressing a reverse side of the sheet against the duplex printing master on the print drum using the presser, and a simplex printing operation done by pressing one side of the sheet against the simplex printing master.
摘要:
A printer including a plurality of print drums and capable of producing, e.g., color printings is disclosed. When a closed position sensor responsive to a door outputs a close signal and when a drum sensor assigned to a print drum to be mounted outputs an absence signal, a controller controls drum drive sections such that a mount/dismount drive section assigned to the print drum to be mounted takes the position corresponding to a mount position. Also, in response to a mount position signal output from a mount position sensor, the controller controls the drum driving device such that the mount/dismount drive section stops at the position corresponding to the mount position. The printer allows an operator thereof to mount the print drums without pressing, e.g., mount/dismount keys each time and thereby saves time.
摘要:
A stencil printer of the present invention includes at least one ink drum for wrapping a master around its outer periphery. An ink feed device feeds ink to the master wrapped around the ink drum. A pressing member is movable into and out of contact with the ink drum at a position where it faces the ink feed device. An image is printed on a paper fed from a paper feed section at a print section where the ink drum and pressing member face each other. A belt conveyor includes a belt extending between the paper feed section located upstream of the print section in the direction of paper conveyance and a paper discharge section located downstream of the print section in the same direction through the print section. The belt conveys the paper fed from the paper feed section while causing it to electrostatically adhere thereto. The paper is sufficiently electrostatically adhered to the belt before it reaches the print section, so that air suction, an air knife, a separator or the like is not necessary. The paper is smoothly conveyed to the print section without any noise and surely separated from the ink drum. Because the pressing member brings the belt into and out of contact with the ink drum, an exclusive mechanism for so moving the belt is not necessary.
