IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265221 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The image forming apparatus described in the patent application is designed to receive input data from an external device, analyze the data, and then form an image on a recording medium. The apparatus includes a processing device for printing operations and a control unit to manage the printing process efficiently.
- The processing device performs a print operation by conveying the recording medium and forming an image on it.
- The control unit ensures that preparatory operations are executed at specific timings during the printing process.
- The first preparatory operation is initiated after the analysis of device data begins and before the analysis of settings data is completed.
- The second preparatory operation takes place after the settings data analysis is finished.
- The print operation is carried out after the second preparatory operation is completed.
- The control unit determines the timing of the first preparatory operation based on the device data.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Efficient management of preparatory operations during the printing process.
- Timely execution of preparatory operations based on data analysis.
- Optimization of the printing process for better image quality and performance.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, graphic design, and publishing for high-quality image production.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for efficient and optimized printing processes to enhance image quality and performance.
Benefits:
- Improved image quality on recording mediums.
- Enhanced performance and efficiency in printing operations.
- Streamlined printing processes for better productivity.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in commercial printing services, graphic design studios, and publishing companies to improve image production quality and efficiency.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of image forming apparatuses and printing technologies to explore similar innovations and advancements.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest developments in image forming apparatus technology and printing processes to enhance efficiency and performance.
Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the control unit determine the timing of preparatory operations during the printing process? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the printing industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus is configured to receive input data including device data and settings data from an external device and form an image on a recording medium. the apparatus comprises a processing device configured to perform a print operation including conveying the recording medium and forming an image on the recording medium; and a control unit configured to control the processing device so that a first preparatory operation of the processing device is executed after analysis of the input data starts and before analysis of the settings data ends, a second preparatory operation of the processing device is executed after the analysis of the settings data ends, and the print operation is executed after the second preparatory operation ends. the control unit is configured to determine a timing at which the first preparatory operation is to be executed based on the device data.
