IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240192626 titled 'IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
The patent application describes an image forming system that includes an image forming apparatus with a stacking portion, an image forming unit, and a fixing portion, as well as a pressure-bonding processing apparatus with a folding processing portion and a pressure-bonding portion. There is also an inputting portion for inputting directions of the front and back surfaces of the recording material stacked on the stacking portion, and a displaying portion for indicating if pressure-bonding printed matter is not properly prepared when the inputted directions are different from the actual directions of the recording material.
- The system integrates an image forming apparatus and a pressure-bonding processing apparatus for efficient printing and finishing of documents.
- The inputting portion allows for precise alignment of the front and back surfaces of the recording material, ensuring accurate printing and finishing.
- The displaying portion provides visual feedback to the user, alerting them if the preparation of pressure-bonding printed matter is not correct.
- This innovation streamlines the printing and finishing process, reducing errors and improving overall productivity.
Potential Applications: - Printing and finishing of documents in offices, print shops, and other professional settings. - Production of marketing materials, brochures, and booklets with precise alignment and finishing.
Problems Solved: - Inaccurate alignment of front and back surfaces of recording material leading to errors in printing and finishing. - Lack of visual feedback to indicate improper preparation of pressure-bonding printed matter.
Benefits: - Improved accuracy and efficiency in printing and finishing processes. - Reduction of errors and waste in document production. - Enhanced user experience with visual feedback for error prevention.
Commercial Applications: "Integrated Image Forming and Pressure-Bonding System for Efficient Document Printing and Finishing"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the inputting portion ensure precise alignment of the front and back surfaces of the recording material? 2. What are the key advantages of integrating an image forming apparatus with a pressure-bonding processing apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming system includes an image forming apparatus including a stacking portion, an image forming unit, and a fixing portion; a pressure-bonding processing apparatus including a folding processing portion, and a pressure-bonding portion; an inputting portion capable of inputting directions of a front surface and a back surface of the recording material stacked on the stacking portion; and a displaying portion for displaying a message indicating that a pressure-bonding printed matter is not properly prepared in a case that directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material inputted by the inputting portion are different from directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material in which the pressure-bonding printed matter is capable of being properly prepared.
