| 20080279572 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A scanning start timing for an optical scanning unit is adjusted according to detection values of belt position detecting units arranged upstream and downstream from a primary transfer position in a movement direction of an endless type belt to thereby transfer an image onto a proper position without being affected by one-sided or meandering travel of an intermediate transfer belt or the endless type belt that serves as a transfer material conveying unit. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080292329 | DRIVER APPARATUS, SHEET ARRANGEMENT MANAGEMENT METHOD, SHEET ARRANGEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - To provide a technique that improves, when image processing is applied to a special sheet for which an arrangement method needs to be taken into account, operability of arrangement operation for the special sheet to be printed. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090310981 | GRAMMAGE DETECTION SENSOR OF RECORDING MEDIUM AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A grammage detection sensor which detects a grammage of a recording medium using an ultrasonic wave includes a transmitting unit configured to transmit the ultrasonic wave and a receiving unit including a first vibration member configured to receive the ultrasonic wave that is transmitted from the transmitting unit and passes through the recording medium. The receiving unit includes a guide member configured to guide the ultrasonic wave that passes through the recording medium to the first vibration member. A length from a surface of the first vibration member to a plane including an end plane of the guide member along a line that passes through a center of the first vibration member and is perpendicular to the first vibration member is approximately n times of one-half wavelength of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the transmitting unit where n is an integer of one or greater. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100247116 | Error Correction in Printing Systems - A method of error correction in a printing system includes engaging a sheet of print media with a perfector arm and detecting a relative position of the perfecter arm with respect to the sheet of print media when the perfecter arm has engaged the sheet of print media, the detecting being performed using a homing sensor that is configured to sense the perfecter arm while the perfecter arm is engaged with the sheet of print media. The relative position of the perfecter arm with respect to the sheet of print media is compared with an expected relative position and any difference between the relative position and expected relative position is compensated for when feeding the sheet of print media with the perfector arm to a print engine. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110002699 | MEDIUM CONVEYANCE DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A medium conveyance device that conveys continuous paper in a paper continuation direction is provided. At a plurality of first image forming regions of the continuous paper, a plurality of corresponding images that correspond with a plurality of images, including a pre-established corresponding image, are formed with a spacing that corresponds to first size in the paper continuation direction, and at a plurality of second image forming regions of the continuous paper, a plurality of corresponding images that correspond with a plurality of images are formed with a spacing that corresponds to second size in the paper continuation direction. The corresponding images are detected on the basis of reading results of a reading interval corresponding to the first size. When the detected corresponding image is the pre-established corresponding image, the reading interval is changed to a reading interval corresponding to the second size. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20120008964 | Printable Media Sensing Device, System and Method - Printable media sensing devices, systems and methods are disclosed herein. An array of light emitters projects light through a printable media sheet for detection by a corresponding array of light sensors. A processor is operably connected to the array of light emitters and light sensors, and is configured to activate the light emitters, and receive output signals from the light sensors, and permit the accurate detection and determination of the locations of top of form (TOF) and bottom of form (BOF) for a given printable media sheet, as well as multiple widths corresponding to such sheet. According to some embodiments, the locations of labels on a sheet may also be detected with heightened accuracy, as may regions having no labels disposed thereover. | 01-12-2012 |
