IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18607782 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The image forming apparatus described in the patent application is designed to form a toner image on a sheet that has undergone perforation processing, resulting in a projected portion at the periphery of a hole formed by the perforation.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Includes a stacking portion for the sheet, a feeding path for the stacked sheet, an image forming unit, a transfer unit, and a display for guidance on sheet placement.
- The apparatus is able to form a toner image on an image bearing member and transfer it onto the sheet with precision, taking into account the projected portion generated by the perforation processing.
- The display provides guidance on the placing direction of the sheet based on the surface where the projected portion of the sheet will be placed on the stacking portion.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various printing and imaging applications where precise placement of toner images on sheets with projected portions is required.
Problems Solved: The apparatus addresses the challenge of accurately forming and transferring toner images onto sheets that have undergone perforation processing, ensuring that the projected portions do not interfere with the image quality.
Benefits:
- Improved accuracy and precision in forming toner images on perforated sheets.
- Enhanced guidance for optimal sheet placement to avoid issues with projected portions.
- Increased efficiency in printing processes involving sheets with perforations.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized in commercial printing services, office printers, and other imaging devices that handle perforated sheets, enhancing the quality and reliability of printed materials.
Prior Art: Readers interested in exploring prior art related to this technology can start by researching patents and publications in the field of image forming apparatuses and printing technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in image forming technologies, toner transfer methods, and display guidance systems to enhance the capabilities of the described apparatus.
Questions about the Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus ensure precise placement of toner images on sheets with projected portions? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating the display guidance system with the image forming and transfer units?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus for forming a toner image on a sheet subjected to perforation processing, wherein the sheet includes a projected portion generating at a periphery of a hole formed by the perforation processing, the image forming includes a stacking potien-portion on which the sheet is stacked, a feeding path along which the sheet stacked on the stacking portion is fed, an image forming unit configured to form the toner image on an image bearing member, a transfer unit configured to transfer the toner image from the image bearing member onto the sheet fed to the feeding path, and a display configured to display guidance on a placing direction of the sheet depending on a surface where the projected portion of the sheet to be placed on the stacking portion generates.
