Abstract: An image forming apparatus, having imaging units arranged alternately on both sides of a continuous paper web, is characterized by minimized image misregistration and reduced processing cost. In order to prevent possible color misregistration caused by changes in paper feed path length resulting from the eccentricity of each drive roller, the difference in the eccentric phases of the rollers on the front and back surfaces is controlled, thereby minimizing the difference in changes in paper feed path length.

Abstract: When initially routing a continuous web along a path, the web walks across the width of the path, and uneven tension occurs causing the web to break in some cases when printing tension is applied thereto. Further, uneven web tension is produced on the right and left of the web by excessive walk control resulting from an excessive deviation of the web from the target position of a walk controller, with the result that the web is crumpled and broken. These problems are solved by maintaining a web tension that is lower than the printing tension until the web position converges on the target position of the walk controller after loading of the web, thereby reducing the amount of correction by the walk controller and the amount of web lost in the preparatory phase before printing, with the result that excellent image quality free from crumple or breakdown is ensured.

Abstract: According to the conventional technique, a web walks across the width in paper routing, and uneven tension occurs to break the web in some cases when printing tension is applied. Further, uneven web tension is produced on the right and left by excessive functioning of walk control resulting from an excessive difference from the target position of a walk controller, with the result that the web is crumpled and broken. These problems are solved by the present invention wherein web tension is kept lower than printing tension until the web position across the width converges on the target position of a walk controller after loading of the web, thereby reducing the amount of correction by the walk controller and the amount of web lost in the preparatory phase before printing, with the result that excellent image quality free from crumple or breakdown is ensured.
