IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS THAT CORRECTS IMAGE FORMING POSITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18757205 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS THAT CORRECTS IMAGE FORMING POSITIONS
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that adjusts the positions of toner images based on test image readings.
- The apparatus controls the image forming positions of toner images on different sheets using different data.
- It adjusts the position of the first toner image on the first sheet based on first data.
- It adjusts the position of the second toner image on the second sheet using second data, which is different from the first data.
- The first and second sheets are of the same type.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry - Graphic design - Office document production
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate image positioning on different sheets - Improves overall print quality - Reduces waste of toner and paper
Benefits: - Consistent image quality - Cost savings through efficient toner and paper usage - Enhanced productivity in printing processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Forming Apparatus for Precision Printing This technology can be used in commercial printers, copiers, and multifunction devices to enhance print quality and efficiency in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the image forming apparatus differentiate between the first and second sheets? - The apparatus likely uses sensors or detectors to identify the type of sheet being used. 2. What are the potential cost savings for businesses using this technology? - Businesses can save on toner and paper costs by reducing waste and improving print accuracy.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus is configured to, based on a reading result of a test image, generate data that is used to adjust image forming positions of toner images to be formed by an image forming unit, control an image forming position of a first toner image to be formed by the image forming unit in a first contact state based on first data, the first toner image being transferred to a first sheet, and control an image forming position of a second toner image to be formed by the image forming unit in a second contact state based on second data that is different from the first data, the second toner image being transferred to a second sheet, wherein a type of the second sheet is the same type as the type of the first sheet.
