摘要： An image formation apparatus is disclosed. The image formation apparatus includes a transfer effectiveness detector that further includes a computing unit for converting a sensor output voltage into a toner adhesion amount, and a transfer effectiveness detecting unit for obtaining transfer effectiveness by comparing a toner adhesion amount Td on a photo conductor with a toner adhesion amount Tb on a middle transfer object. Here, the toner adhesion amount Td is obtained by the computing unit converting an output of a photo conductor image detection unit, and the toner adhesion amount Tb is obtained by the computing unit converting an output of a middle transfer object image detection unit. When the transfer effectiveness detection unit determines that an abnormality is present in the transfer, whether the abnormality is due to decreased development capacity or due to decreased transfer effectiveness can be determined. If it is determined that the transfer effectiveness is less than a threshold value, a printing operation of the image formation apparatus is stopped given that the transfer effectiveness compensation is not possible.

摘要： A developer transport unit to transport a developing unit is devised. The developer transport unit includes an intra-vessel transporting device to transport developer in a developer storage vessel to an ejection unit, in which the developer storage vessel is detachably attached at one end to an ejection unit, a transport/supply device to transport the developer from the ejection unit to a sub-storage vessel, an intermediate-developer amount detector to obtain an amount of developer present in the sub-storage vessel, and a control unit to control driving of the intra-vessel transporting device and the transport/supply device. Upon detection of a certain amount of developer in the sub-storage vessel by the intermediate-developer amount detector, the control unit drives the intra-vessel transporting device for a given time and then drives the transport/supply device along with the intra-vessel transporting device until the intermediate-developer amount detector detects that the sub-storage vessel is refilled with a certain amount of developer.

摘要： An image processing apparatus includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor has a power saving function. The second processor is configured to consume less power than the first processor during operation. When the first processor stopped by the power saving function is activated in response to reception of a network packet, the first processor determines an operating frequency of the first processor in accordance with a type of the network packet.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes: an expansion/contraction ratio calculation unit that calculates a value of a ratio of expansion or contraction of a printing medium at a time of printing a second surface as compared with a time of printing a first surface; a storage control unit that causes an NVRAM to hold the calculated value of the ratio of expansion or contraction; and a magnification correcting unit that corrects magnification of an image on the second surface using a newly calculated value of the ratio when a difference between the newly calculated value and a value that has been held by the NVRAM until the new value is calculated is within a predetermined range, and corrects the magnification of the image on the second surface using a value closer to 0 than the newly calculated value when the difference exceeds the predetermined range.
