  • Image forming apparatus, method and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium therefor
    Patent number: 9110421
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a control device that detects a change in a first state concerning placement and removal of sheets in a sheet feed device or mounting and demounting of the sheet feed device and detects a second change in a second state concerning placement and removal or mounting and demounting of a member. When the control device detects the first change, the control device displays, on a display, first display information prompting for the user to enter settings concerning the type of sheets to be supplied to the sheet feed device. After accepting settings, the control device counts a predetermined time and deletes the first display information. When detecting the second change, the control device displays the display information for a longer time. Accordingly, when the user checks or sets the first display information about sheets, convenience is improved.

  • Image forming apparatus with function for correcting deviation of image forming position
    Patent number: 8837962
    Abstract: When an input image is to be formed on a sheet conveyed to a transfer roller, the exposure section is controlled and deviation correction is performed to offset the image forming position across the width of the sheet in response to the result of detection by a deviation sensor. By contrast, when pattern images are to be formed on a sheet in response to the instruction of the main control section, the image forming control section does not perform deviation correction in the process of forming a pattern image.

  • Printing apparatus
    Patent number: 8827416
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes: a data receiver; a printing device; a tray; and a controller. The controller identifies, based on the received print data, a sheet size of a sheet to be used for printing and detects a sheet size of a sheet placed on the tray. A storage device stores an identified type associated with the identified sheet size and a detected type associated with the detected sheet size. When the identified type and the detected type are identical, the controller reduces or enlarges a size of an image based on the received print data, on the basis of the detected sheet size, and controls the printing device to conduct printing of the image. When the identified type and the detected type are different, the controller restricts conduct of the printing.
