IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160139 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that can adjust the image forming speed based on the type of sheet and the selected mode.
- Image forming apparatus with multiple modes for different image forming speeds
- Memory stores data for each mode indicating the correspondence between sheet type and image forming speed
- Controller determines image forming speed based on the type of sheet for each mode
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, publishing, and graphic design where different types of sheets require different image forming speeds.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inefficient image forming processes where the same speed is used for all types of sheets, leading to suboptimal results.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, reduced waste of resources, and increased efficiency in image forming processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include printers, copiers, and other image forming devices used in offices, print shops, and graphic design studios.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be image forming devices that have preset image forming speeds for different types of sheets, but not the ability to adjust speeds based on selected modes and stored data.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact energy consumption in image forming processes?
This article does not address the potential impact of adjusting image forming speeds on energy consumption.
What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of sheet types and image quality?
This article does not discuss any limitations that may arise when using this technology with certain types of sheets or its impact on image quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet based on a mode selected from a plurality of modes having different image forming speeds; a memory configured to store first data for a first mode included in the plurality of modes, the first data indicating a correspondence for the first mode between a type of the sheet and the image forming speed, and second data for a second mode included in the plurality of modes, the second data indicating a correspondence for the second mode between a type of the sheet and the image forming speed; a display; and a controller configured to: determine a first image forming speed for the first mode from the first data based on the type of the sheet; and determine a second image forming speed for the second mode from the second data.
