20080298820 | METHOD OF READING INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION OF A DETACHABLE UNIT, INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION READING DEVICE, APPARATUS HAVING THE INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION READING DEVICE, AND A DETACHABLE UNIT - In an apparatus including the detachable unit, when reading individual information of the detachable unit, a first label for generating a reference signal for reading individual information and a second label representing the individual information are arranged on a surface of the detachable unit, with a first label reading unit, the reference signal is generated while reading the first label in a predetermined direction, and with a second label reading unit, the individual information of the detachable unit contained in the second label is read in synchronous with the generated reference signal. Read individual information is stored, and whether a mounted detachable unit is new or used is recognized based on a comparison of individual information read from the detachable unit with stored individual information. | 12-04-2008 |
20090035004 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus which is capable of accurately detecting the temperature of a fixing roller by a simple circuit configuration without causing a scratch on the surface of the fixing roller. A detection sensor is disposed in a state not in contact with a heating-type fixing roller, for detecting the temperature of the fixing roller. A compensation sensor is provided for detecting an ambient temperature of the detection sensor. A computing section of a copy controller calculates the surface temperature of the fixing roller, using computing equations, based on information from the sensors. The copy controller controls the temperature of the fixing roller such that the surface temperature of the fixing roller, calculated by the computing section, becomes equal to a target temperature. The computing section uses different computing equations depending on the target temperature. | 02-05-2009 |
20120093533 | FIXING APPARATUS THAT REDUCES DETERIORATION IN PRODUCTIVITY - A fixing apparatus capable of reducing deterioration in productivity while preventing a fixing roller from being heated to a high temperature. The fixing roller has a heating unit incorporated therein, and a rotatable pressurization roller abuts on the fixing roller. A thermistor detects a surface temperature of the fixing roller. A fixing operation is controlled by selectively switching between a first mode and a second mode in which the number of sheets subjected to fixing per unit time is smaller than in the first mode. One of the first and second modes is selected based on a first temperature detected by the thermistor at a first time, a second temperature detected by the thermistor at a second time, and a minimum temperature of the fixing roller at which the toner image can be fixed. | 04-19-2012 |
