  • Publication number: 20100102880
    Abstract: A load drive device has a load drive unit including an input system electrically connectable to a control power supply and an output system electrically connectable to a load drive power supply. The load drive unit supplies the electrical load with load drive voltage from the load drive power supply via the output system when the control power supply applies control voltage to the input system. A potential difference detection unit detects a potential difference between the control voltage and the load drive voltage. A potential fixing unit fixes a potential at a control system electrical route, connecting the control power supply and the input system of the load drive unit, to a prohibition level that prohibits the output system of the load drive unit from driving the electrical load when the potential difference detected by the potential difference detection unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7663779
    Abstract: When the size output for an image is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value (e.g., index printing), a printing apparatus performs an image expansion/reduction process by using an interpolation method whereby high speed processing is enabled while an inferior image quality is provided, or when the output size is greater than a predetermined value (e.g., the normal printing of a single sheet), employs an interpolation method for a high quality image to perform the expansion/reduction. Further, when the output image size is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the printing apparatus 1 skips the noise reduction process and the sharpening process to increase the processing speed.
