20080226370 | IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - In a case that it is determined that a first feeding unit is not ready to feed upon designation of a first print job that requires air feeding, start of the first print job is waited until the first feeding unit is ready to feed. In a case that a second print job that requires roll feeding is accepted during waiting for the first print job, the second print job is executed, and the first print job that requires air feeding is executed after completion of the second print job. | 09-18-2008 |
20090148211 | IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - An image forming system, including an image forming apparatus, and a first sheet supplying device which is connected to the image forming apparatus, wherein the first sheet supplying device includes a scanner, a plurality of drawer-type sheet supplying trays, and a control section which is configured to prevent a predetermined sheet supplying tray among the plurality of sheet supplying trays from being drawn out, based on an operational condition of the scanner. | 06-11-2009 |
20110222943 | IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS AND READABLE MEDIUM - An image formation apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that reads an original and acquires image data; a plurality of accommodation units that accommodate therein printing media on which images are to be formed; and an accommodated-printing-medium setting unit that sets an accommodated-printing-medium size which is a size of the printing medium accommodated in each of the accommodation unit, and an accommodated-printing-medium sort which is a sort of the printing medium. The image formation apparatus further includes a selected-printing-medium setting unit that sets a selected-printing-medium sort; a determination unit that determines a determined-printing-medium size; a selection unit that selects the accommodation unit in which the printing medium of the accommodated-printing-medium sort of single sort and the accommodated-printing-medium size corresponding to the determined-printing-medium size is accommodated; and an image formation unit that forms the image on the printing medium which is accommodated in the accommodation unit selected by the selection unit. | 09-15-2011 |
20120087705 | SHEET SUPPLY DEVICE AND MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE - A sheet supply device that is addable to a medium processing device includes a strage part storing a medium and a controller. The controller performs a first operation in which the medium is supplied from the storage part of the sheet supply device, and a second operation in which another medium supplied from an upstream side of a medium path is carried to a downstream side. When the second operation is performed, the controller operates the carrying part by transmitting a drive force to the carrying part via the transmission mechanism without operating the carrying transmission member. | 04-12-2012 |

20080240819 | Architecture for A Media Feeding Option for An Image Forming Device - The present application is directed to image forming devices with option trays to introduce media into a media path. One embodiment include the image forming device having a body with a front, back, top, and bottom sides. The sides may form an interior space to contain an imaging unit. The imaging unit may include elements for producing toner images. A media path may extend in a substantially vertical orientation within the interior space. An integrated tray may be positioned at the bottom side of the body and include a first input tray and a manual feed inlet on the front side of the body. Each of first input tray and manual feed inlet form sections of the media path. An option tray may he operatively connected to the bottom side of the body, and may include a second input tray and a multi-purpose feeder. The option tray further lengthens the media path and provides additional avenues to introduce media sheets into the media path. | 10-02-2008 |
20140186083 | COVER OPENING AND CLOSING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A cover opening and closing unit includes a cover installed to be opened from and close a main body and a manual paper feed tray that is rotatably installed on the cover. The cover is connected to the main body by a link element and a connection link is connected to the link element and the manual paper feed tray so that, when the cover is opened from the main body when the manual paper feed tray is in an opened state with respect to the cover, an open angle of the manual paper feed tray with respect to a vertical direction is maintained within 90 degrees. | 07-03-2014 |
