IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477286 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The image forming apparatus described in the patent application includes a controller that acquires a preceding command, performs preparation processing, and printing processing. If the controller determines that the performance condition of the printing processing is met, it will carry out the preparation processing upon acquiring the preceding command, and then proceed with the printing processing according to a print instruction. If the performance condition is not met, the controller will skip the preparation processing upon acquiring the preceding command. If the performance condition is later met, the controller will then perform both the preparation processing and the printing processing as per the print instruction.
- Controller acquires preceding command
- Performs preparation processing
- Carries out printing processing if performance condition is met
- Skips preparation processing if performance condition is not met
- Performs both preparation and printing processing if condition is met later
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various printing devices and systems where efficient processing of print commands is essential.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the printing process by optimizing the preparation and printing processing based on the performance condition, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in printing operations - Reduction in processing time - Enhanced resource management
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimized Printing Processing Technology for Enhanced Efficiency"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optimizing printing processes based on performance conditions, but specific examples are not provided in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing printing processing methods to evaluate the speed and resource utilization benefits of this technology.
What specific performance conditions are considered by the controller in determining whether to proceed with the preparation and printing processing?
The patent application does not detail the specific performance conditions that the controller evaluates, leaving room for further exploration into this aspect of the technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to perform an acquisition processing of acquiring a preceding command, a preparation processing, and a printing processing. In a case where the controller determines that a performance condition of the printing processing is satisfied, the controller is configured to perform the preparation processing in response to acquisition of the preceding command, and the printing processing in accordance with a print instruction. In a case where the controller determines that the performance condition is not satisfied, the controller is configured not to perform the preparation processing in response to the acquisition of the preceding command. In a case where the controller determines that the performance condition is satisfied after the controller determines that the performance condition is not satisfied, the controller is configured to perform the preparation processing and the printing processing in accordance with the print instruction.
