  • Patent number: 10855875
    Abstract: An apparatus including a control device, a first processing device, a second processing device, and one or more memories, wherein the first processing device issues a signal based on the first processing device having processed a predetermined amount of data in received image data so that an engine controller starts to obtain image data from the one or more memories, wherein the control device provides dummy data to the first processing device so that the first processing device processes the dummy data and issues the signal, wherein the control device provides to the one or more memories, not via the first or second processing device, image data to be printed, wherein the second processing device discards the dummy data processed by the first processing device, and wherein the engine controller obtains the image data to be printed from the one or more memories.

  • Publication number: 20200293844
    Abstract: The present invention directs to an image forming apparatus comprising: a system control module that controls the image forming apparatus; a first memory device used by the system control module; an image processing module that processes image data to be inputted to the image forming apparatus; a second memory device in which image data processed by the image processing module is stored via an image memory bus; and a memory controller that transfers and writes the image data processed by the image processing module into the first memory device without going through the image memory bus, and issues an end interrupt to the system control module each time image data of a predetermined size has been written.

  • Publication number: 20200045203
    Abstract: The technique of the present disclosure includes: a first image processor for first image processing; a second image processor for second image processing; a memory that stores the second-image-processed first image data; a first controller that outputs a signal every time the first image processor processes a predetermined amount of data; an output device that outputs the second-image-processed first image data from the memory to a printer based on the signal outputted by the first controller; and a second controller that causes the first image processor to process third image data based on input to the second image processor of second image data not inputted to the first image processor. Based on the signal outputted by the first controller every time the first image processor processes a predetermined amount of the third image data, the output device outputs the second-image-processed second image data to the printer.

  • Patent number: 10191440
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus, based on print target image data, obtains a video count of a developer unit that forms an image on a photoconductor for each of regions divided in a scanning direction of a laser that exposes the photoconductor. Also after obtaining the video count, halftone processing is performed on the image data. Based on the obtained video count, patch data for cleaning the photoconductor corresponding to each region is generated. The developer unit is controlled to execute image formation based on image data for which the halftone processing is performed, and to execute image formation based on the generated patch data.

  • Patent number: 9383703
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided that prevents a deteriorated print quality even if a line width correction processing and a tailing suppression processing are configured in parallel. The image forming apparatus comprises a determination unit configured to determine a tailing suppression processing specification depending on a line width correction setting for detecting an edge neighboring region of an input image subjected to a line width correction processing. The tailing suppression processing specification is used to perform a tailing suppression processing on the input image.

  • Patent number: 9363394
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of realizing setting of an insert including an interleaf sheet and a chapter sheet, on an image forming apparatus, by an intuitive operation similar to an actual insertion operation. An operation terminal includes a touch screen display and a network communication section which communicates with an MFP, and is capable of performing an operation on the MFP concerning document printing, and setting an insert to a printed matter to be printed by the MFP. When a user's drag operation causes insertion of an insert image displayed on the touch screen display between adjacent preview images of pages of the printed matter displayed on the same, the insert image is set as an interleaf sheet, and when the operation causes superimposing of the insert image on a preview image, the insert image is set as a chapter sheet.
