IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING STAPLE PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18166388 titled 'IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING STAPLE PROCESSING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming system that includes various units and trays for processing and discharging recording materials. The system has two modes - one for discharging materials to a tray and another for waiting for instructions.
- The system can detect when a recording material is placed on the processing tray.
- In the first mode, the system discharges the recording material from the image forming unit to the discharge tray via the processing tray.
- In the second mode, the system waits for instructions to execute any further actions.
- If a recording material is detected on the processing tray while in the second mode and a conveying instruction is issued, the system will discharge the material to the discharge tray without performing staple processing.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Office environments where image forming systems are used for printing and processing documents.
- Any situation where recording materials need to be organized and discharged efficiently.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that recording materials are properly detected and processed in the image forming system.
- Prevents unnecessary staple processing when it is not required.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in handling recording materials.
- Reduces the risk of errors or damage to recording materials.
- Provides flexibility in processing options based on user instructions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming system includes a detection unit to detect a recording material, having an image formed thereon by an image forming unit, placed on a processing tray, a staple unit, a discharge unit, and a discharge tray. A first mode of the system is to discharge the recording material conveyed from the image forming unit to the discharge tray via the processing tray and a second mode involves waiting for instruction for executing. When the detection unit detects the recording material inserted into the processing tray in the second mode, and a recording material first mode conveying instruction is issued in a state of waiting for the executing instruction after the recording material detection, a discharge operation is performed to discharge the recording material inserted into the processing tray to the discharge tray without the staple unit executing staple processing on the recording material inserted into the processing tray.
