Patent number: 10235106Abstract: An information processor includes an image data generating circuitry and a communicator. The image data generating circuitry includes a logical page generating circuitry and a page adjusting circuitry, and generates image data. The logical page generating circuitry generates a plurality of logical pages each containing a plurality of pages. The page adjusting circuitry adjusts number of pages of the plurality of pages contained in a first logical page of the plurality of logical pages. The image data contains the plurality of logical pages. The communicator transmits the image data to an image forming unit. The image forming unit is able to cut a recording medium by using the logical pages as a reference, and forms an image on the recording medium by using the logical pages as a reference.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Oki Data CorporationInventors: Mitsuyoshi Shirasaka, Hiroshi Kato

Image forming system and apparatus for printing image block sequence using continuous printing sheet
Patent number: 9785869Abstract: An image forming system for printing a sequence of image blocks on a continuous printing sheet based on image data, includes an information processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus. A printing setting unit included by the information processing apparatus designates first information and second information. The first information indicates whether a printing order of the image blocks is to be a normal order or a reverse order. The second information indicates how many image blocks of the sequence are to be printed on each of a plurality of segments of the printing sheet. The image forming apparatus includes a cutting unit and a control unit. The cutting unit cuts the printing sheet. The control unit controls the cutting unit so as to separate the segments of the printing sheet. The control unit determines cutting positions on the printing sheet based on the first information and the second information.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Oki Data CorporationInventor: Mitsuyoshi Shirasaka -
