IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627543 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that can handle various types of print jobs. It includes a unit that determines whether to allow the use of paper in a specific paper feed stage for each type of print job, and a unit that decides whether to execute a print job based on the type of job and the paper feed setting.
- The apparatus can accommodate different types of print jobs by controlling the use of paper in a predetermined feed stage.
- It can selectively permit or restrict the use of paper based on the specific requirements of each print job.
- By analyzing the type of print job and the paper feed setting, the apparatus can efficiently manage the printing process.
- This innovation helps optimize paper usage and streamline the printing workflow for different types of print jobs.
- The apparatus enhances productivity and resource utilization by intelligently managing paper feed stages based on the specific requirements of each print job.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries where printing is a common task, such as offices, schools, and commercial printing services.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently managing paper usage and optimizing the printing process for different types of print jobs.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in handling various print jobs - Optimal resource utilization and reduced paper waste - Streamlined printing workflow for increased productivity
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized in office printers, commercial printing services, and any other environment where efficient printing processes are essential.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve resource utilization in printing processes? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this image forming apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus capable of accepting a plurality of types of print jobs, includes: a unit that sets, for each type of the print job, whether to permit use of paper in a predetermined paper feed stage, and a unit that controls, in a case where a print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage is received, based on the type of the received print job and the setting, whether to execute the print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage.
