  • Publication number: 20240104322
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plural image forming units each having a plural image forming sections, and an intermediate transfer body on which toner images formed by the plural image forming sections are primarily transferred; a plural secondary transfer units that are provided corresponding to the plural the image forming units, and secondarily transfer the toner images of the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium; and a processor configured to: in response to an instruction for adjusting misalignment of the toner images, execute a mode in which a first chart for checking amounts of misalignment between a toner image formed by a reference image forming section and the toner images formed by another image forming section, for each image forming unit, and a second chart for checking amounts of misalignment between toner images formed by the reference image forming sections of the plural image forming units are secondarily transferred to the recording medium and output, and an input of a fi

  • Publication number: 20240103432
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where, during image formation using any of the image forming units among the image forming units, in a case where a consumable of any of the image forming sections of the image forming unit is insufficient, an image forming section of an identical color to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient is present in another image forming unit, and a storage medium for storing management information for managing a consumable unit is not provided in the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient, ask a user whether or not to exchange the consumable unit attached to the image forming section of which the consumable is insufficient and a consum

  • Publication number: 20240085826
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes plural image forming units including plural image forming sections and an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image formed on the plural image forming sections is primarily transferred, and a processor, in which the processor is configured to, in a case where a printing instruction is received in a state in which an image forming section having a combination of identical colors is set for each of the plural image forming units, execute the printing instruction by using an image forming unit that is in a state in which image formation is able to be executed among the plural image forming units.

  • Patent number: 5542220
    Abstract: A hydrostatic anti-vibration system includes a main tank provided on a construction to be suppressed from vibrating and having a main tank body of substantially flat rectangular configuration. Hollow vertical extensions extend upwardly from peripheral edge portions of the main tank body and are filled with a working liquid at a predetermined level with upper air chambers maintained thereabove. Ducts communicate the upper air chambers of the hollow vertical extensions. Intermediate tank portions are disposed at the intermediate portions of respective ducts and contain a vibration suppressing liquid. A pivotal plate is disposed in each of the intermediate tank portions to separate the interior space of the intermediate tank portion into a pair of chambers respectively connected to corresponding portions of the duct. The plate pivots in response to flow pressure of the vibration suppressing liquid. A damping mechanism provides a resistance against displacement of the pivotal plate.
