==CONTACT PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18373846 titled 'CONTACT PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT METHOD AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The technology described in this patent application is a method for adjusting contact pressure in an image recording apparatus to prevent ink adhesion to a roller surface. 

* The method involves recording a test image on a sheet, detecting vibration in the sheet as it is conveyed, and adjusting the contact pressure of a roller if the detected vibration is outside a predetermined range. 

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various image recording devices such as printers, copiers, and scanners to ensure smooth and efficient printing processes.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Prevents adhesion of ink to roller surfaces, which can lead to smudging and poor print quality.
2. Ensures consistent contact pressure for accurate image reproduction.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved print quality and consistency.
2. Reduced maintenance and cleaning requirements for image recording equipment.
3. Enhanced overall performance and longevity of the equipment.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing contact pressure in image recording devices can lead to more reliable and high-quality printing solutions, making this technology valuable for manufacturers and users alike.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be methods for adjusting contact pressure in printing presses or industrial rollers to maintain print quality and prevent ink adhesion issues.

=== What are the specific components of the vibration detection portion in the image recording apparatus? ===
The specific components of the vibration detection portion may include sensors, transducers, or accelerometers that can detect and measure vibrations in the test image recorded sheet.

=== How does adjusting the contact pressure of the driven roller affect the overall printing process? ===
Adjusting the contact pressure of the driven roller ensures proper ink transfer and image reproduction by maintaining the correct level of pressure between the roller and the sheet. This adjustment helps prevent ink adhesion issues and ensures consistent print quality.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The technology according to the present disclosure is a contact pressure adjustment method capable of suppressing adhesion of ink to a roller surface of a roller that conveys a sheet on which an image has been recorded, in an image recording apparatus. The contact pressure adjustment method includes: causing an image recording portion of an image recording apparatus to record a predetermined test image on a sheet; causing a vibration detection portion to detect vibration generated in the test image recorded sheet on which the test image is recorded while the test image recorded sheet is being conveyed along a conveying path; and in a case where a fluctuation width of the vibration detected by the vibration detection portion is outside a predetermined reference range, adjusting contact pressure of a driven roller against the image recording surface of the test image recorded sheet.
