Patent number: 6782812Abstract: A stencil printer of the present invention includes a print drum around which perforated part of a stencil or master is to be wrapped. A master making section make a master and includes a cutter for cutting the stencil paid out from a roll. A master discharging section removes the master wrapped around the print drum and then discharges it. A deciding device determines, on the turn-on of a power supply, whether or not the power supply has been turned off during an interval between the time when the stencil paid out from the roll starts being perforated and the time when the cutter cuts the stencil. When the deciding device determines that the power supply has been turned off during the above interval, the master discharging section discharges the master present on the print drum.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Tohoku Ricoh Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiharu Hasegawa, Kenro Takeda, Shoji Imazeki, Yoshihito Ebina, Hiromi Omura

Patent number: 6213015Abstract: A printer for printing an image on a paper paid out by a pick-up roller and separated from the other papers by a separating device includes a kind-of-paper setting device for allowing the operator of the printer to select and input the kind of papers to be used. A controller automatically selects, among transport conditions stored beforehand in correspondence to the kinds of papers, optimal transport conditions matching with the kind of papers input by the operator in response to a signal received from the kind-of-paper setting device. The operator should only select and input the kind of papers while watching an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) provided on an operation panel. The printer obviates troubles relating to the transport of papers.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1998Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: Tohoku Ricoh Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuo Sato, Kenji Endo, Toshiharu Hasegawa, Yoshiharu Kanno

Patent number: 5690324Abstract: A sorter having an intermediate transport device using a belt and for transporting printings to bins, and a transport speed control device for changing the transport speed depending on the size of the printings, and the type of the printings including thickness and quality, such that the transport device transports the printings at an optimal speed. The trailing edge portions of the printings are prevented from being left at the outside of the bins and causing jams and other troubles to occur.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignees: Tohoku Ricoh Co., Ltd., Canon Aptex Inc.Inventors: Tomoya Otomo, Hiromi Omura, Toshiharu Hasegawa

Patent number: 4801965Abstract: An electrophotographic recording apparatus having a photoconductive element, means for providing an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductive element which corresponds to image light, a developing device for developing the latent image to produce a visible image, means for transferring the visible image onto a paper, and means for cleaning the surface of the photoconductive element after the transfer of the visible image. Developers of different colors are selectively supplied to the single developing device to selectively record images in different colors. When a predetermined period of time has expired with no recording action taken after the completion of color recording, a developer collection system is communicated to a cleaning liquid vessel. This shortens the period of time necessary for the next change of recording color and recording operation while allowing a minimum of damage to result from a trouble in the developer collection system.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1987Date of Patent: January 31, 1989Assignee: Ricoh Company Ltd.Inventors: Manabu Mochizuki, Tsuneo Kurotori, Toshiharu Hasegawa

Patent number: 4709364Abstract: A network priority determining system in which the percentage of utilization of the network transmission medium is significantly increased and the number and complexity of hardware components is reduced. When the network is not being used for transmission of data packets, a free token is circulated having a priority controlling field and a reservation field, while when the network is to be used for transmission, a busy token is circulated. To begin transmission, a network can catch a free packet if its priority level is equal to or less than that of the free token. The reservation field value and priority field value contained in the free token may be set in accordance with a reservation value of the previously circulated busy token.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1985Date of Patent: November 24, 1987Assignees: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Toshiharu HasegawaInventors: Toshiharu Hasegawa, Zai-ming Shen, Shoujiro Muro, Shigeru Masuyama, Akihisa Toyooka
