400605000 | For feeding plural record media concurrently or selectively | 8 |
20080240833 | Image forming system and image forming apparatus - An image forming system includes a sheet accommodating section, an image forming section, a term management section, a detecting section, and a display section. The sheet accommodating section has a plurality of sheet trays each accommodating therein printing sheets with advertisement. The term management section has stored therein information on a term of validity of the advertisement as advertisement term information connected with a sheet tray. The detecting section detects whether or not the advertisement is currently valid, based on the advertisement term information. Also, the detecting section determines during printing whether or not the term of validity of the advertisement on the printing sheets accommodated in a sheet tray being used in printing has expired. The display section displays information that a sheet tray other than the sheet tray being used is present which accommodates therein printing sheets each carrying an advertisement which is currently valid, if any. | 10-02-2008 |
20080260447 | RECORDING APPARATUS, AND FEED CONTROL METHOD OF RECORDING MEDIUM IN THE APPARATUS - A recording apparatus records an image by relatively moving a recording head with respect to a recording sheet. When a recording sheet is conveyed by rotating a LF roller in accordance with recording operation at the recording position during the recording of a current recording sheet, it is determined whether or not recording for a next recording sheet is necessary. In the case of that recording for the next recording medium is necessary, the next recording sheet is fed by rotating the feed roller for the amount corresponding to the conveyance distance by rotation of the LF roller, in synchronization with the conveyance of the current recording sheet by rotation of the LF roller. | 10-23-2008 |
20080310901 | METHOD OF ISSUING A PRINTED TICKET - The present invention relates to a method of issuing a printed ticket coming from a thermal printer, which printer comprises in a structure, a print head and a capstan for driving the ticket, a ticket travel guide being provided in the structure downstream from the print members, the method consisting in:

20090232573 | FEEDER FOR A SURFACE MOUNT PLACEMENT SYSTEM - A feeder for a surface mount placement system includes a feeder body comprising a shaft, a front cover, and a rear cover. The front cover has one end pivotally installed on the feeder body via the shaft, a free end, and a pair of sidewalls respectively extending from two sides of the free end towards the feeder body. The rear cover pivotally installed on the feeder body, including a blocking portion, and the free end of the front cover overlap. The blocking portion is wider than the distance between the sidewalls of the front cover. | 09-17-2009 |
20090304430 | MULTI-JOB FEEDER SYSTEM - A low cost, low complexity method and apparatus for improved productivity and reducing operator induced shut-downs when feeding multiple jobs of different media type, but the same size, from a single sheet tray includes providing media identification divider sheets that contain patterns of either simple bars or punched holes with the divider sheets loaded into the sheet supply tray on top of their corresponding sheet stack except the first one; providing a digital sensor that reads each media identification divider sheet pattern; and feeding media for the first job. When the first job is complete, remaining sheets for that job can be fed (optionally at high speed) to a purge tray. Media divider sheets for each successive job after the first job are sent to the purge tray for reuse later. | 12-10-2009 |
20120230748 | Image Forming Apparatus - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an ejection portion from which a first sheet and a second sheet having images formed in the image forming unit are to be ejected, an ejection tray including a receiving portion configured to receive the sheet ejected from the ejection portion, and a stopper portion disposed on a downstream side of the ejection tray in a sheet ejection direction further than the ejection portion. The receiving portion has first and second recessed portions, which are recessed downward therefrom. The stopper portion is configured to stop the sheet ejected from the ejection portion. The recessed portions are located downstream from the ejection portion and upstream from the stopper portion in the sheet ejection direction, and spaced apart from each other at least in the sheet ejection direction. | 09-13-2012 |
20130243511 | SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A sheet processing device includes a clamp configured to clamp an edge portion of a sheet, the edge portion being on a side of an edge parallel to a direction in which the sheet has been conveyed; a first processing unit configured to perform a first process on the sheet at the side of the edge, the first processing unit being disposed at a first position; a second processing unit configured to perform a second process on the sheet at the side of the edge, the second processing unit being disposed at a second position that is different from the first position in a vertical direction; and a moving unit configured to move the clamp from the first position to the second position or vice versa so that the clamp moves on a loop passing through the first position and the second position. | 09-19-2013 |

20120243929 | PRINTER, PRINTING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A printer includes: a receiving unit for receiving image identification information, image position information, and print data from outside as printing command data; an image printing position determining unit for reading image size information from a storage unit based on the image identification information in the printing command data received by the receiving unit and determining a position on a printing surface at which the image is to be printed, based on the image position information received by the receiving unit and the read image size information; a superimposing unit for superimposing image data read from the storage unit on the print data received by the receiving unit at the position determined by the image printing position determining unit; and a printing unit for printing a result of the superimposition by the superimposing unit. | 09-27-2012 |
