Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of toner-image forming units that receive image data and form electrostatic latent images on image bearing members in accordance with the image data, and form toner images of respective colors by developing the electrostatic latent images, an intermediate transfer member onto which the toner images are transferred, a transfer unit that transfers the toner images of the respective colors onto the intermediate transfer member, a controller that performs transfer control for changing a transfer pressure applied when the transfer unit transfers the toner images onto the intermediate transfer member, and a misregistration detector that detects a difference of a transfer position of each of the toner images of the respective colors on the intermediate transfer member when the transfer control is performed by the controller.
Abstract:
A recording sheet moving device includes: a moving unit that moves a recording sheet; a recording sheet specifying unit that specifies a length in the transport direction and a weight per unit area of the recording sheet; a first memory configured to record, for each of plural recording sheets, a threshold for a length in the transport direction in association with a weight per unit area; and a movement control unit that retrieves a threshold for a length on the basis of the specified weight per unit area from the first memory, and compares the retrieved threshold for a length and the specified length, to determine whether to cause the moving unit to move the recording sheet, and if it is determined that the recording sheet should be moved, causes the moving unit to move the recording sheet.
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing apparatus having an image segmentation unit that divides image formation into image areas in a first direction, a random number memory that stores random numbers, a reference position determination unit that determines a reference position so as to vary in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a pixel determination unit that determines a pixel as a target to be subjected to correction processing of pixel insertion into or pixel reduction from each of the image areas, for the each of the image areas, according to the stored random numbers and the determined reference position, among pixels in the each of the image areas, and an image width change unit that performs the correction processing on the determined pixel to change an image width of the image information in the first direction.
Abstract:
The image forming apparatus is provided with: a toner image carrying member that moves while carrying a toner image; a transferring member that transfers, on a recording medium, the toner image that the toner image carrying member carries; a transporting unit that transports the recording medium along a transport path that passes through a transfer region where the transferring member transfers the toner image onto the recording medium; and a controller that controls a movement speed of the toner image carrying member. The controller changes the movement speed of the toner image carrying member in accordance with a position, on the transport path, of the recording medium that the transporting unit transports.
Abstract:
A recording medium transport apparatus includes: plural storage units each storing a recording medium; a transport unit that transports the recording medium from one of the storage units to a recording position where an image is recorded on the recording medium; a memory that stores a reference position of a recording medium prescribed for each storage unit; a measuring unit that measures a position of the transported recording medium; and a movement unit that reads the reference position corresponding to the storage unit that stored the transported recording medium, from the memory, and moves the recording medium according to the difference between the reference position and the measured position such that the position of the recording medium approaches the reference position when the recording medium is located upstream of the recording position in the transport direction thereof.
