  • Patent number: 8998207
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes: a recording portion; a sheet conveyor; a detector; and a controller configured to control the sheet conveyor to stop a first-attribute sheet in a state in which the sheet conveyor is nipping the first-attribute sheet when the detector has detected that the first-attribute sheet reaches a first-attribute-sheet stopping position; and to control the sheet conveyor to stop a second-attribute sheet in a state in which the sheet conveyor is nipping the second-attribute sheet when the detector has detected that the second-attribute sheet reaches a second-attribute-sheet stopping position which is located on an upstream side of the first-attribute-sheet stopping position in the conveying direction.

  • Patent number: 8917417
    Abstract: A controller of an image forming apparatus is configured to judge whether a first sheet size of the first image data is larger than a size of an in-use sheet. When the first sheet size is larger than the in-use sheet size, it is judged whether the resizing operation is to be applied to the first image data, resize the image size of the first image data to meet the in-use sheet size by applying the resizing operation to the first image data when the resizing operation is to be applied to the first image data, and control the image forming device to form an image on the sheet based on the first image data to which the resizing operation has been applied.

  • Patent number: 8792129
    Abstract: A printing apparatus wherein first image data corresponding to a first document is generated, second partial data corresponding to a partial range of a second document is generated in a state in which the first image data is stored in a storage portion, joint data in which first partial data and the second partial data are joined is generated, the first partial data being included in the first image data and corresponding to a partial range of the first document which is laid out side by side with respect to the partial range of the second document based on the second partial data in a state in which a first image based on the first image data and a second image based on second image data are laid out side by side in a scanning direction of a head, and an image based on the joint data is printed.
