摘要:
An image reader of the present invention comprises a fluctuation detector that can be connected to the external equipment by means of an image data input-output section, and can subject image data, continuous in a first direction and outputted as image information on a test chart is photoelectrically converted by means of a CCD sensor when a mirror set or the test chart is moved in the first direction, to Fourier conversion, thereby obtaining the frequency of a fluctuation of the obtained image data and a maximum value of the amplitude thereof. If the obtained maximum value of the fluctuation amplitude is greater than a given value, the fluctuation detector is used to compare the frequency of the fluctuation and the natural frequency of a drive motor for generating driving force for moving the mirror set or the image. If the fluctuation frequency and the natural frequency are not equal, the value of current supplied to the drive motor is increased.

The image scanning apparatus capable of reading an image by scanning a carriage equipped with a light source, mirrors and the like in a sub-scanning direction of an original document O, is provided, and in this apparatus, the stepping motor is used to drive the carriage, and an open loop control and switching of the exciter are carried out. With this structure, the scanning speed of the carriage can be increased to be higher than the set speed once, and then reduced to the set speed, thus making it possible to shorten the time for the carriage to move from the home position to the top of the document to be scanned, while suppressing the load on the CPU.

Black tapes 61 and 62 having optical reflectances different from that of the texture of a document D are stuck to the lower side of a platen cover 3. The black tapes 61 and 62 have the optical reflectances different from that of the texture of the document D. When the document D set on a document table 2 and the black tapes 61 and 62 are exposed by a light exposure lamp 5, at least one edge of the document D set on the document table 2 and the length of the edge are detected according to the amount of reflected light from the document D and that from the black tapes 61 and 62. The size of the document D set on the document table 2 is judged according to the detected length of the edge.
摘要:
An optical reading apparatus and a multifunction-type image forming apparatus, with a minimized thickness in a cabinet height direction and a housing shaped along an upper shape of discharge tray of the image forming apparatus provided thereunder. The optical reading apparatus comprises: platen glass defined with one end and the other end, on an upper surface of which an original document is placed; an optical reading unit that translates between the both ends on a lower surface of the platen glass, for obtaining image data by irradiating an original document surface with light through the platen glass; a control circuit board connected to the optical reading unit, for processing an electric signal; and a housing wherein a side on the side of the other end is thicker than a side on the side of the one end. The image forming apparatus has a cabinet containing: sheet discharge unit for discharging an image formation sheet from a lower-part lower-side on the thicker side of the housing of the optical reading apparatus toward a lower-part upper side on the thinner side of the housing; and a discharge tray on which the image formation sheet discharged from the sheet discharge unit is received and stacked.
