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 18506363 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. 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.
- Image forming apparatus with optimized rewinding operation:
- Obtains print status at print start to set rewinding distance of roll paper - Performs rewinding conveyance based on set rewinding distance
Potential applications of this technology: - Printing industry - Manufacturing industry - Office equipment industry
Problems solved by this technology: - Wasteful operations in image forming apparatus - Inefficient rewinding operations
Benefits of this technology: - Reduces waste in printing processes - Improves efficiency of rewinding operations
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.
Unanswered questions:
How does the image forming apparatus determine the optimal rewinding distance for the roll paper?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the method used to calculate the rewinding distance based on the print status.
What types of printing processes can benefit the most from this optimized rewinding operation?
The abstract does not specify the specific types of printing processes that would see the greatest improvement from this technology.
