  • Patent number: 10124572
    Abstract: Provided is a method for automatically adjusting the contact pressure between an intaglio cylinder and a wiping roller that further limits the amount of defective prints generated. The method adjusts said contact pressure by changing the position of the wiping roller shaft center with respect to the intaglio cylinder shaft center using a contact pressure adjustment motor. At least the position of the wiping roller shaft center at low speed and the position of the wiping roller shaft center during printing operation for which the contact pressures have been optimized during a previous printing are stored. Before starting the current printing operation, the wiping roller is moved to the stored low speed position. Then when the current printing operation is started, the wiping roller is moved to the stored printing operation position.

  • Publication number: 20130038893
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a request-frequency calculating unit, an acceptable-frequency calculating unit, and acceptance/rejection determining unit. The request-frequency calculating unit calculates a request frequency corresponding to a processing request relating to image formation with reference to any one of multiple pieces of frequency information, which is broken down by process category of an image forming process and stored in a predetermined storage unit, selectively. The acceptable-frequency calculating unit calculates an acceptable frequency corresponding to the processing request from acceptable-processing-amount information stored in a predetermined storage unit. The acceptance/rejection determining unit determines whether or not to accept the processing request by comparing the request frequency with the acceptable frequency.
