IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345784 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that can handle various types of print jobs by determining whether to use paper in a specific paper feed stage for each type of job, and then deciding whether to execute a print job based on this setting.
- The apparatus can accept multiple types of print jobs.
- It includes a unit that determines whether to use paper in a predetermined paper feed stage for each type of job.
- Another unit controls the execution of a print job based on the type of job and the paper feed setting.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in offices, print shops, and other settings where different types of print jobs are common. - It can improve efficiency and reduce paper waste by optimizing paper usage for each type of job.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the challenge of efficiently handling various types of print jobs with different paper requirements. - Helps reduce costs associated with paper waste and unnecessary paper usage.
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in handling different types of print jobs. - Cost savings through optimized paper usage. - Improved environmental sustainability by reducing paper waste.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Image Forming Apparatus for Efficient Print Job Handling This technology can be commercially applied in office equipment, printing services, and document management solutions. It can provide a competitive edge by offering more efficient and cost-effective printing solutions to customers.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to image forming apparatus, paper feed systems, and print job optimization technologies to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of this field.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may find updated studies on image forming technologies, paper handling systems, and print job optimization strategies relevant to this innovative apparatus.
Questions about Image Forming Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus determine whether to use paper in a specific paper feed stage for each type of print job? The apparatus uses a unit to set the paper feed stage for each type of job, based on predetermined settings. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of optimizing paper usage for different types of print jobs? By using paper more efficiently, the apparatus can reduce paper waste and lower operational costs for printing tasks.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus capable of accepting a plurality of types of print jobs, includes: a unit that sets, for each type of the print job, whether to permit use of paper in a predetermined paper feed stage, and a unit that controls, in a case where a print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage is received, based on the type of the received print job and the setting, whether to execute the print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage.
