    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a photosensitive member; a developing roller; a contact/separation mechanism configured to switch between a contact state in which the developing roller is brought into contact with the photosensitive member and a separation state in which the developing roller is separated from the photosensitive member; a photosensitive-member motor configured to rotate and drive the photosensitive member; and a control portion. The control portion configured to determine that the contact/separation mechanism is in a failure state in a case where a torque of the photosensitive-member motor is not detected to have changed by at least a predetermined value within a predetermined time after a predetermined reference timing.

    摘要: There is provided printing equipment that enhances the overprinting position accuracy in overprinting and a printing method for the printing equipment. In the printing method, a paper meandering profile acquisition part acquires a meandering profile of paper from a result of detection by a paper deviation detection sensor. A paper speed profile acquisition part acquires a paper speed profile from a result of detection by a paper conveyance speed detection sensor. A paper feed error calculator calculates a paper feed error on the basis of the meandering profile and paper speed profile. A paper feed error corrector corrects the image formation timing on the basis of a result of calculation by the paper feed error calculator.

    摘要: Provided is an electronic device that outputs a notification sound that takes into consideration those of older age. The electronic device is an electronic device that outputs a notification sound, and includes a frequency-setting unit and a notification-sound-control unit. The frequency-setting unit sets an initial frequency for the notification sound. The notification-sound-control unit causes the notification sound to be outputted at the initial frequency, and performs control so that the frequency of the notification sound is lowered from the initial frequency as time passes.
