IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163384 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The present invention provides an image forming apparatus, a control method of the image forming apparatus, and a recording medium that can suppress occurrence of a wasteful operation and perform a rewinding operation of an optimal amount. After stop of printing by the image forming apparatus, a print status at print start is obtained, and a rewinding distance of a roll paper is set based on the obtained print status. Then, a paper conveyance unit performs rewinding conveyance (reverse rotation conveyance) based on the set rewinding distance.

  • Image forming apparatus with optimized rewinding operation:
 - Obtains print status at print start
 - Sets rewinding distance of roll paper based on print status
 - Performs rewinding conveyance using paper conveyance unit

Potential applications of this technology: - Printing industry - Manufacturing industry - Office environments

Problems solved by this technology: - Wasteful operation of image forming apparatus - Inefficient rewinding of roll paper

Benefits of this technology: - Reduces waste in printing process - Improves efficiency of rewinding operation

Potential commercial applications of this technology:

Optimized Rewinding Operation in Image Forming Apparatus

Possible prior art: - Previous image forming apparatus may not have had the capability to optimize rewinding operations based on print status.

Questions:

How does this technology compare to traditional rewinding methods in image forming apparatus?

Traditional methods may not take into account the print status at print start to optimize the rewinding distance.

What impact does the optimized rewinding operation have on overall printing efficiency and waste reduction?

The optimized rewinding operation can significantly improve printing efficiency by reducing wasteful operations and ensuring an optimal rewinding amount.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention provides an image forming apparatus, a control method of the image forming apparatus, and a recording medium that can suppress occurrence of a wasteful operation and perform a rewinding operation of an optimal amount. to this end, after stop of printing by the image forming apparatus, a print status at print start is obtained, and a rewinding distance of a roll paper is set based on the obtained print status. then, a paper conveyance unit performs rewinding conveyance (reverse rotation conveyance) based on the set rewinding distance.
