摘要:
A printer that performs high-precision residual-ink detection regardless of various movements accompanying print operation and facsimile apparatus using the printer. When an ink cartridge reciprocates along a main-scanning direction, ink surface of ink 91 varies depending on a moving direction and moving condition (stationary state, uniform motion, accelerated motion and decelerated motion) of the ink cartridge. Accordingly, the residual-ink detection is controlled such that a residual-ink amount can be detected by using photosensor 11 and reflection board 93, at the same detection timing (e.g., always at timing of uniform motion).
摘要:
A printing apparatus which can detect remaining ink with high precision regardless of trembles of ink surface in an ink tank caused by various factors such as scanning speed of a carriage, scanning width, impact of the carriage at the time of reversing the carriage scanning direction and the like, and can perform printing by efficiently utilizing the remaining ink, and a facsimile apparatus using the above printing apparatus. According to the apparatus, when a CPU controls print operation, the CPU dynamically changes the threshold value as a determination reference, utilized to detect remaining ink on the basis of an output current of a reflection type photosensor, in accordance with the scanning speed of carriage movement, the scanning width, and the stop period for reversing the scanning direction.

A sheet conveying apparatus and an original reading apparatus according to the present invention can reduce a load of a drive system for rotating a convey rotary member and can be made compact. The apparatus includes an original convey roller rotatably supported by a frame, and a contact sensor holder rockably held by a contact sensor rotation shaft regulated in a thickness-wise direction of an original by a contact sensor holder rotation shaft holding portion of the frame and adapted to hold a second contact sensor in a confronting relation to the original convey roller. The second contact sensor is urged against the original convey roller by an urging spring.

The present invention provides a sheet conveying apparatus comprising a first rotary member for conveying a sheet, and a second rotary member disposed at a downstream side of the first rotary member in a sheet conveying direction and adapted to convey the sheet. It further comprises a first mode in which the first rotary member is rotated and the second rotary member is stopped, and a second mode in which the first and second rotary members are rotated. In a condition that the first rotary member is continuously rotated in one direction, the first mode is changed to the second mode.

An image processor includes a first image information processing unit which processes image information with respect to a sheet medium. A first sheet medium feeding path guides the sheet medium to the first image information processing unit, and exhausts the sheet medium from the first image information processing unit. A second image information processing unit processes image information with respect to a sheet medium while allowing a head for processing image information to travel serially. The second information processing unit is arranged on a side lower than the first image information processing unit. A second sheet medium feeding path guides the sheet medium to the second image information processing unit, and exhausts the sheet medium from the second image information processing unit. An electric circuit board is arranged below the feeding path of the first sheet medium, and above the feeding path of the second sheet medium. The electric circuit board is arrange on the reverse side of the head for processing image information. In this way, the number of boards and harnesses are reduced, thus reducing cost, and enhancing assembling capability and reliability.

The present invention provides an original reading apparatus including a pre-scan mode for reading a color reference member before an original is read, a registration mode for aligning a tip end of the original before the original is read, and a reading mode for conveying and reading the original. The reading apparatus further comprises first and second rotary member to perform the above three modes, and these modes are effected by selectively rotating the first and second rotary members in a normal direction and/or reverse direction and selectively stopping the first or second rotary member.

An image reading and recording apparatus includes a trigger arm configured to start transmission of a drive to a paper feed unit in accordance with the position of a carriage. The trigger arm includes a first lever portion for feeding a recording sheet in a state in which a cap is separated from a recording head and a second lever portion for feeding a document in a state in which the cap is in contact with the recording head.
摘要:
An image reading and recording apparatus has: a carriage for mounting a recording head; a reading unit which reads an original document; a conveying roller arranged on a conveying path which is used in common for recording paper and the original; and a platen arranged so as to face the recording head. The reading unit is movable between a reading position on an upper side of the conveying path and a retracting position on a lower side of the conveying path. The platen can relatively and independently move for the reading unit.

A first conveying mechanism includes an intermediate conveying roller for conveying a recording sheet, an intermediate conveying roller shaft for supporting the intermediate conveying roller, an intermediate conveying roller drive mechanism for rotationally driving the intermediate conveying roller shaft, and a roller control mechanism for controlling movements of the intermediate conveying roller relative to the intermediate conveying roller shaft. The roller control mechanism performs skew correction along with conveying the recording sheet by rotating the intermediate conveying roller integrally with the intermediate conveying roller shaft while the intermediate conveying roller drive mechanism rotationally drives the intermediate conveying roller shaft and stops the rotational drive of the intermediate conveying roller shaft performed by the intermediate conveying roller drive mechanism after the skew correction to cause the intermediate conveying roller to be movable within a predetermined range in the axial direction of the intermediate conveying roller shaft.
