  • Patent number: 6836625
    Abstract: The color image forming apparatus is provided, which includes a color sensor and conducts color correction. In the color image forming apparatus, a patch of a color matching chart obtained by a color sensor is detected in accordance with a conveying speed (a standard speed mode, a half speed mode, a high gloss mode, or the like) to thereby make a color correction table. Further, upon printing, the color correction table made in accordance with the conveying speed is used to perform image forming. Accordingly, images outputted at different conveying speeds can have the same colors.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6654571
    Abstract: An image heating device includes: a heating member having a heater that is in contact with a bearing member, which bears an image, and heats the image, a first temperature detecting member that is disposed above a surface of the heating member with a gap therebetween and detects a temperature of the heating member, a second temperature detecting member that is disposed in contact with the surface of the heating member and detects a temperature of the heating member and a controller for controlling a supply of a power to the heater on the basis of a detected output of the first and second temperature detecting members, wherein the controller controls the supply of the power to the heater on the basis of the detected output of the first temperature detecting member at the time of heating the image and controls the supply of the power to the heater on the basis of the detected output of the second temperature detecting member at a time of standby.
