摘要:
An image forming apparatus performs a single-side image formation such that, when a delay is needed, a stacked sheet discharge control section controls a sheet carrying mechanism so that: a first sheet (for a second imaging job) to be discharged after passing a first sheet-discharging roller via a first sheet-carrying path is directed to another carrying path without being discharged, and is stood by therein. The first sheet and a second sheet (for the second imaging job) which is carried to the first sheet-discharging roller via the first sheet-carrying path after the first sheet, then are concurrently discharged overlappingly. This eliminates needs for delaying image formation for the second imaging job, and for securing time for post-process for the first imaging job. Even if a delay is inevitable, this reduces the delay time greatly and improves the productivity of the image forming apparatus, without reducing its performance wastefully.

System and methods providing a plurality of fusers, and one or more radius profiled media handling transports for transporting media in a radius, in an image forming device. The system includes one or more of a plurality of fusers, and radius profiled media handling transport devices arranged in a fashion allowing for improved throughput of media while reducing operating costs. The plurality of fusers allows for the use of individual low capacity fusers that are equal to or less than the overall capacity of the image forming device. Media transport devices transport media on stretch belts across a radius of rollers with a means for providing an adhering force for stabilizing the media to the belt. The rollers are arranged along one side of the frame, along which the media is transported, and a frame may contain an air plenum so as to allow for the drawing of a vacuum through the rollers. The media transport device allows for optimizing a configuration of the image forming device.

When an abnormality factor occurs in a second heating device, a sheet located upstream of a branch portion is discharged onto a discharge tray through a second conveying path. After the abnormality factor in the second heating device is removed and the sheet discharged to the discharge tray through the second conveying path is set in a paper refeeding tray, a sheet feeding portion feeds the sheet set in the paper refeeding tray to the second heating device.

The image forming apparatus is provided with: a carrier that carries a toner image; a transporting unit that transports a sheet with using a transporting route; a transfer unit that transfers the toner image carried by the carrier to the sheet transported by the transporting unit; a fixing unit that fixes the toner image transferred by the transfer unit on the sheet; and an exit opening that is disposed so that a transfer position of the transfer unit is located between the exit opening and a fixation position of the fixing unit in a section including a transporting route over the entire length and that discharges the sheet on which the toner image is fixed by the fixing unit to an outside of the apparatus.

An electrophotographic printer device for both-sided printing of a tape-shaped, narrow recording medium (10) and for single-sided printing of a wide recording medium or a plurality of parallel, narrow recording media (10/1,10/2,10/3) contains a printer module that is designed for printing recording media differing in width. A delivery module and a turn-over module (28) are removably arranged in the printer module, the narrow recording medium (10) being turned over after the printing of the front side and being reconducted through the printer module for printing the back side via said delivery module and turn-over module.

A sheet transport device is provided with a plurality of sheet transport paths arranged in parallel to one another and a sheet transport assembly for transporting a sheet along the sheet transport path. The transport assembly includes a drive shaft extending normal to the plurality of sheet transport paths, a roller member mounted on the drive shaft in a position corresponding to each of the plurality of sheet transport paths, and a transmission mechanism provided between the drive shaft and roller member for transmitting the rotational force of the drive shaft rotating in a sheet transport direction to the roller member and for shutting off transmission of the rotational force of the roller member rotating in the sheet transport direction to the drive shaft. Accordingly, the misalignment of sheets to be transported simultaneously can be readily corrected. In addition, even if one of the simultaneously transported sheets gets jammed, the jammed sheet can be smoothly removed without affecting transport of the other sheets.

An image processing apparatus is connected to a print control device that controls a single printer, the apparatus includes a first generating unit that generates a first corrected image by adding an adjustment image to one of edges in the first direction of the first image such that a length in the first direction is equal to an integral multiple of a predetermined boundary size, a second generating unit that generates a second corrected image by adding the adjustment image to at least one of both edges in the first direction of the second image such that the length in the first direction is equal to an integer multiple of the boundary size, and a transmission unit that transmits the first corrected image and the second corrected image to the print control device.

A system and method are provided for recovering from print assembly failure in a printer with printed medium assembly capabilities. The method generates a first print set including a plurality of physical medium sheets, and stores the first print set of a first interim stacker. A second print set is generated including a plurality of physical medium sheets. Sheets are accessed sheets from the first interim stacker and assembled with sheets from the second print set, generating a final print set with a plurality of sheets in a first order. The final print set is stored in an output stacker. In the event of a first print set failure, first print set replacement sheets are generating. In one aspect, generating the final print set includes directly merging first print set replacement sheets (bypassing the interim stacker) with sheets from the second print set.
