IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241468 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that includes various components to perform printing on different types of recording materials with different widths.

  • Image forming unit, heating rotary member, and pressure rotary member work together to form a nip portion for printing.
  • First recording material with a first width, second recording material with a second width but no image, and third recording material with an image are processed.
  • Time period from the first recording material reaching the nip portion to the second recording material is shorter than to the third recording material.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various printing applications where different types of recording materials need to be processed efficiently. - It can be utilized in industries that require high-speed printing on materials of varying widths.

Problems Solved: - The apparatus addresses the need for quick and accurate printing on different recording materials with varying characteristics. - It ensures that the printing process is streamlined and optimized for different types of materials.

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in printing processes. - Enhanced flexibility in handling various recording materials. - Consistent and high-quality printing results.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Forming Apparatus for Efficient Printing This technology can be applied in commercial printing services, packaging industries, and manufacturing sectors where precise and fast printing on different materials is essential.

Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of image forming apparatus and printing technologies to explore similar innovations and advancements.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest developments in image forming apparatus technology, printing methods, and material handling techniques to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of printing processes.

Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the time period difference between processing different recording materials impact overall printing efficiency? - The shorter time period for processing certain materials can lead to increased productivity and faster turnaround times in printing operations. 2.

Original Abstract Submitted

an image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a heating rotary member, and a pressure rotary member that forms a nip portion with the heating rotary member to perform printing on a first recording material with a first width, a second recording material with a second width and has no image to be formed thereon, and a third recording material with the second width and has an image to be formed thereon. a time period from when the first recording material reaches the nip portion to when the second recording material that has no image to be formed thereon and follows the first recording material reaches the nip portion is shorter than a time period from when the first recording material reaches the nip portion to when the third recording material having an image to be formed thereon that follows the first recording material reaches the nip portion.
