Patent number: 5420666Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming mechanism for forming an image and a matrix circuit having connected thereto a plurality of keys including an initiating key for instructing the start of image formation and a stop key for interrupting image formation. The image forming apparatus further includes a controller for controlling image formation by the image forming mechanism in accordance with a control sequence and a memory containing a program for sensing key input of the matrix circuit. Prior to the start of image formation, the controller executes the program for sensing key input of the matrix circuit and executes the control sequence in response to the sensing input of the initiating key. During image formation, the controller executes the program for sensing key input of the matrix circuit such that sensing whether the stop key has been input is executed without sensing whether the initiating key has been input.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Ariga, Hiroyuki Miyake, Katsuichi Shimizu, Hirotoshi Kishi, Hiroshi Ogawa, Takahiko Amanuma, Kazumi Umezawa, Seiji Sagara, Kenji Kurita

Patent number: 5223899Abstract: A document scanning apparatus includes a first scanner for reciprocating an optical member and for exposing an original document put on a document platen, and a second scanner for feeding an original document to an exposure position and for exposing the original document at the exposure position. A selector selects either the first scanner in a stationary exposure mode or the second scanner in a dynamic exposure mode. In the stationary exposure mode, a controller causes forward movement of the reciprocating optical member to stop and the reciprocating member to move backward in accordance with a detection signal signifying that the trailing edge of a recording sheet has passed a predetermined position in the transport path for the recording sheet. In the dynamic exposure mode, the controller controls the second scanner to feed successive original documents in accordance with the same detection signal for the trailing edge of the recording sheet.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Ariga, Hiroyuki Hattori, Katsuichi Shimizu, Hirotoshi Kishi, Hiroshi Ogawa, Takahiko Amanuma, Kazumi Umezawa, Seiji Sagara, Kenji Kurita
