IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319648 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The patent application describes an image forming apparatus that can carry out two operations based on the detection of the type of recording material being used.
- The apparatus includes an image bearing member, a voltage applying portion, a feeding portion, a detecting portion, a storing portion, a controller, and an inputting portion.
- The controller can execute a first operation to store the type of recording material in the storing portion and a second operation to output an adjusting chart for transfer voltage adjustment.
- The controller can carry out both operations in response to a single start instruction, preparing the adjusting chart by transferring test images onto the recording material.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for adjusting transfer voltage in image forming processes. - Quality control in printing to ensure accurate color reproduction on different types of recording materials.
Problems Solved: - Efficient adjustment of transfer voltage based on the type of recording material. - Streamlining the process of preparing adjusting charts for image forming.
Benefits: - Improved color accuracy in printing. - Time and cost savings in adjusting transfer voltage. - Enhanced overall image quality in printing processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Image Forming Apparatus for Precision Printing" This technology can be used in commercial printing services, graphic design firms, and manufacturing companies that require high-quality image reproduction.
Prior Art: Research on image forming apparatuses and color management systems in the printing industry can provide insights into similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image forming technology, color management systems, and printing industry standards to enhance the performance of the apparatus.
Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus detect the type of recording material being used? The detecting portion of the apparatus identifies the type of recording material based on specific characteristics or properties. 2. What are the key components that contribute to the efficiency of the image forming process? The image bearing member, voltage applying portion, and feeding portion work together to ensure accurate image reproduction on different recording materials.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a voltage applying portion, a feeding portion, a detecting portion, a storing portion, a controller for controlling a first operation in which on the basis of a detection result of the detecting portion, a kind of the recording material set in the feeding portion is stored in the storing portion, and a second operation in which an adjusting chart is outputted for adjusting a transfer voltage; and an inputting portion. in response to a single start instruction, the controller is capable of carrying out control so as to execute the first operation and the second operation for outputting the adjusting chart prepared by transferring a plurality of test images onto the recording material from which an index interrelating with the kind of the recording material is detected by the detecting portion in the first operation.
