摘要: A method for reducing image burn-in artifacts in an electrophotographic printing system, includes receiving a print job including image data for a set of pages to be printed. The pages are analyzed to determine that the image data for a sequence of pages in the print job are similar. The similar pages are printed using a pattern of lateral translations wherein the image data is laterally translated such that it is printed at a different lateral position on the printed page. The similar pages can also be printed using a pattern of page orientations including a first page orientation and a second page orientation, wherein the image data for the second page orientation is rotated 180 degrees relative to the image data for the first page orientation.

摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a scanning unit configured to form an electrostatic latent image on a photoconductor by scanning the photoconductor with one or more scanning beams in a main scanning direction based on an image signal, repetitively in a sub-scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction; a generating unit configured to perform halftone processing on image data to generate the image signal; and a storage unit configured to store correction information. The correction information is set such that start positions of a plurality of scanning lines are linearly displaced to either a negative side or a positive side of the main scanning direction along the sub-scanning direction, in accordance with a direction of a first vector forming a smaller angle with the sub-scanning direction among two vectors in the halftone processing.

摘要: An image forming apparatus includes (a) a plurality of image forming unit arranged along a transfer medium, each of which is arranged movable between a lower position and an upper position; (b) an estrangement controller to move each of the image forming units between these positions; (c) a print mode management part to determine a designated print mode; (d) an image forming part to select one or more of the image forming units corresponding to the designated print mode, and to form an image to be transferred to the transfer medium by using the selected image forming units; and (e) a correction process part that performs a correction process. Wherein (f) the correction process part regularly judges whether or not a correction process execution condition is satisfied, and performs a regular correction process when the correction process execution condition is satisfied, and (g) the print mode management part judges whether or not another print process in the designated print mode has been performed after a previous regular correction process, and sets a print mode based on a judgment result by the print mode management part.

摘要: Separately providing a shift register for performing serial-to-parallel conversion on a BD signal and a shift register for performing parallel-to-serial conversion on a bit pattern to generate a PWM signal increases the scale of a circuit for adjusting a writing start position in the scanning direction of a light beam. Therefore, the shift register for performing serial-to-parallel conversion on a BD signal and the shift register for performing parallel-to-serial conversion on a bit pattern to generate a PWM signal are configured as a common register.

摘要: An image forming device according to an embodiment includes a photosensitive drum and a light-emitting unit with a plurality of light-emitting elements which form an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum. A processor controls a storage unit to store a cumulative light emission time of each light-emitting element. The processor further controls the storage unit to store an adjustment time which is shorter than a longest cumulative light emission time of the light-emitting elements. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processor controls at least one of the light-emitting elements that has a cumulative light emission time which is shorter than the adjustment time to emit light until the cumulative light emission time thereof equals the adjustment time.
