IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18628019 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The image forming apparatus described in the patent application can print images arranged in a direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction. It can also accept cancel instructions for specific pieces of image data during printing, allowing for the cancellation of certain images while continuing to print others.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Ability to print images arranged in a direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction.
- Acceptance of cancel instructions for specific pieces of image data during printing.
- Ability to stop printing at the end position of non-cancelled image data when a cancel instruction is accepted.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various printing applications where the ability to cancel specific images during printing is desired. It can be beneficial in industries such as publishing, advertising, and photography.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for flexibility in printing processes by allowing users to cancel specific images during the printing process without disrupting the entire print job.
Benefits:
- Enhanced control over the printing process.
- Increased efficiency by allowing for the cancellation of specific images.
- Improved user experience by providing flexibility in printing options.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in commercial printing services, photo printing shops, and any other industry that requires precise control over the printing process. It can lead to cost savings and improved customer satisfaction.
Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the image forming apparatus handle cancel instructions during the printing process? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in commercial printing services?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of image forming apparatus technology, focusing on improving the efficiency and accuracy of the printing process. Researchers may be exploring new ways to enhance user control and customization options in printing.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus includes one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more memories and the one or more processors are configured to control the image forming apparatus to perform printing of print data including a plurality of pieces of image data arranged in a direction orthogonal to a sheet conveyance direction; accept a cancel instruction for at least one piece of the plurality of pieces of the image data during the printing of the print data; and, in a case where a cancel instruction for first image data, of the image data, is accepted, control the printing of the print data to stop at an end position of second image data, of the image data, in the sheet conveyance direction of the print data, the second image data being image data not to be cancelled and being printed.
