20100117422 | STRUCTURE FOR CONNECTING MEMBERS - The present invention intends to arrange the appearance of furniture at a connecting portion between a first member having stiffness and a second member movable relative to the first member and having stiffness without forming the connecting portion in an unnaturally large diameter. More specifically, the present invention provides a structure for connecting members comprising: a first member having stiffness; a second member movable relative to the first member and having stiffness; and a spring member in which an end portion thereof is connected to the first member and other end portion thereof is connected to the second member so as to accumulate a reaction force by elastic deformation, wherein the spring member is formed into a frame-like shape extending along the first and second members. | 05-13-2010 |

20100308525 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS PERFORMING POST-PROCESSING INCLUDING PUNCHING AND STAPLING ON RECORDING PAPER - An image forming apparatus, used with a post-processing apparatus performing a punching process and a stapling process allowing setting of position and number of staples, includes: a detecting device detecting a request in the post-processing unit based on request information input from a user; and a control device connected to receive an output of the detecting device and to control the post-processing apparatus, controlling the post-processing apparatus such that if the detecting device detects requests for the punching process and the stapling process on the same recording paper, manner of staple-binding of the recording paper is set to tentative binding. | 12-09-2010 |
20140333944 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus is provided with a sample printing execution portion which, during execution of a print job, generates two printed matters for at least a part of pages of the print job on a same printing condition, discharges one of the printed matters to a first paper discharge tray as a printed matter of the print job, and discharges the other printed matter to a second paper discharge tray different from the first paper discharge tray as a sample printed matter. The sample printing execution portion, when performing sample printing of the sample printed matter, prints the printing condition of the print job corresponding to the sample printing, and discharges a sheet having the printing condition printed thereon to the second paper discharge tray. | 11-13-2014 |

20080246977 | Printing apparatus and method for controlling the same - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a printing apparatus including a printing means for executing a print job and performing a printing process on recording paper, and a control means for controlling the printing means, the printing apparatus causing the printing means to execute a plurality of print jobs sequentially, wherein the printing apparatus further includes a recording paper detection means for detecting a size of recording paper fed to the printing means, and when a size of recording paper detected by the recording paper detection means is different from a size of recording paper set by a print job that is being executed by the printing means, the control means performs control such that a period of time until the recording paper is discharged is shortened to the minimum. | 10-09-2008 |
20090080001 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND PROGRAM - In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, when performing one-side printing during a predetermined period after two-side printing, a change in a carrying velocity of a post-process apparatus is prevented and thus recording paper having passed through a fixing section is carried and output at a velocity that is lower than a velocity for normal one-side printing and that is identical with a velocity for two-side printing. Consequently, it is possible to prevent dropping of productivity of the image forming system due to a time necessary for changing the carrying velocity of the post-process apparatus and to increase an operating ratio of the image forming system, even if the post-process apparatus is designed to completely stop the carrying roller etc. when changing the carrying velocity. | 03-26-2009 |
20090141300 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus including: an image processing section that processes an original image, and outputs the processed original image; an operating section that a user operates; a reading-and-displaying section disposed in the operating section, and has a function of reading control information as an image and has a function of displaying the read control information; an instruction input section disposed in the operating section, and receives an instruction regarding an original image; and a controller that controls operations of the image processing section, the reading-and-displaying section, and the instruction input section, wherein the controller instructs the reading-and-displaying section to read the control information, acquires the control information from a result read by the reading-and-displaying section, and instructs the image processing section to process the original image and to output the processed original image, based on the acquired control information and/or the instruction received by the instruction input section. | 06-04-2009 |
20090189870 | DISPLAY INPUT DEVICE - To provide a display input device including: a display controller for displaying a control frame on a display portion; a touch input detector for detecting a touch input to the touch panel portion; and a setup item displaying portion for superimposing setup items on the control frame in accordance with the position of the touch input while the touch input is being detected by the touch input detector. | 07-30-2009 |
20090214234 | FIXING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF DETECTING AN ABNORMALITY OF A FIXING DEVICE - A fixing device according to this invention includes a heating roller, a heater driver, a thermistor, and a CPU. The heating roller has a heater and heats a recording sheet. The heater driver drives the heater. The thermistor detects a surface temperature of the heating roller. The CPU stops an operation of the heater driver when the surface temperature of the heating roller becomes higher than a predetermined temperature and, thereafter, causes the thermistor to perform detection of the surface temperature of the heating roller for a predetermined time period and issues an alarm about occurrence of a first abnormality when the surface temperature of the heating roller fails to drop in the predetermined time period. | 08-27-2009 |
20090237701 | Image forming apparatus - In an image forming apparatus, damage to the apparatus caused by power conduction at the time of installation is prevented. When initial adjustment at factory ends and service person moves the apparatus, a power switch is turned OFF. Using this OFF operation as a trigger, a control unit | 09-24-2009 |
