    摘要: In an image forming apparatus, a recording head ejects ink corresponding to an image to be printed, using arranged nozzles. A control unit determines nozzles corresponding to the image to be printed, correspondingly to a position of a print sheet, and causes the recording head to eject ink from the nozzles. A correction processing performs a correction process corresponding to each of ink ejection malfunction positions in the image. Further, the correction processing unit (a) sets the ink ejection malfunction positions as targets of the correction process in advance, and (b) excludes from the targets on the basis of a sheet size of the print sheet an ink ejection malfunction position corresponding to a nozzle that is not used for the print sheet among nozzles corresponding to the plural ink ejection malfunction positions and thereafter performs the correction process for the targets.

    摘要: There is provided a method of manufacturing an image sensor unit, the image sensor unit including: a linear light source that illuminates a document along a main scanning direction; a rod lens array that includes a plurality of rod lenses arranged in the main scanning direction and condenses a light reflected from the document; and a linear image sensor that receives a light condensed by the rod lens array. When a rod lens having an optically discontinuous portion on a surface and/or interior of the rod lens is included, the rod lens array is arranged such that the optically discontinuous portion is not located toward the document.

    摘要: An image forming system (100) includes an image forming apparatus (1) and an image reading apparatus (50). The image forming apparatus (1) include a first casing (10) including a top plate (13) having a first opening (11) and a second opening (12); and a fixing member (20) disposed below the top plate (13), having a first projecting part (21) and a second projecting part (22) and operated such that the first projecting part (21) is protruded and retracted through the first opening (11) and the second projecting part (22) is protruded and retracted through the second opening (12). The image reading apparatus (50) includes: a second casing (60) placed on the first casing (10); a second carriage (52) being movable inside the second casing (60); a lock member (70) which is engaged with the second carriage (52) to restrict movement of the second carriage (52), and when pushed up by the first projecting part (21), is disengaged from the second carriage (52) to release restriction of the movement of the second carriage (52); and a third opening (64) into which the second projecting part (22).
