  • Publication number: 20240085837
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, in a case of duplex printing, a sheet is transported toward an image forming device along a sheet transport route, the image forming device forms an image on a first face, which is one of faces of the sheet, a reverse transport device reverses the front and back faces of the sheet and transports the sheet to a position upstream of a show-through reading device in a sheet transport direction, and the show-through reading device reads a second face, which is another face of the sheet. Then the show-through detector decides whether a show-through has occurred, on a basis of the image that has been read.

  • Publication number: 20240066806
    Abstract: A 3D-modeling system includes a first discharge section, a second discharge section, a stage, a heating section, and a control section, wherein the control section performs a modeling process molding a first molded object and a second molded object on a modeling surface by controlling the first and second discharge sections to discharge modeling materials having different plasticization temperatures from each other from the first and second discharge sections and a heating process by controlling the heating section configured to heat the molding materials discharged from the first and second discharge sections at different temperatures from each other, and the modeling process is performed such that a period in which the modeling material discharged from the first discharge section is deposited on the modeling surface and a period in which the modeling material discharged from the second discharge section is deposited on the modeling surface overlap each other.

  • Patent number: 11789668
    Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and an insertion device. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a transport device, and a control device. The control device acts as a controller and an executer. The controller causes the image forming device to execute a printing job, and causes the insertion device to insert the interleaving paper in a printed material at an insertion start timing designated by the printing job. The executer executes calibration at an execution start timing set in advance, and sets a time point that a predetermined time has elapsed after a previous calibration to the execution start timing in advance. The executer starts to execute the calibration at the insertion start timing, when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11706362
    Abstract: An image formation system includes an image forming apparatus and an inserter. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a conveyance device, and a control device. The control device functions as a controller and an executor. The controller allows the inserter to insert an interleaving paper between sheets of printed material at an insertion start timing specified by a print job. When the plurality of calibrations include a second calibration capable of being completed within an interleaving paper insertion time required to insert the interleaving paper or a third calibration capable of being completed within a total time of the interleaving paper insertion time and a predetermined additional time, the executor executes the second calibration or the third calibration in time with the insertion start timing.

  • Patent number: 9296581
    Abstract: A document feeder includes a lift plate, a storage section, and an operation display section. The lift plate lifts a document sheaf up to a feed position. The storage section stores a first travel amount. The first travel amount is a travel amount of the lift plate necessary for the lift plate to cause the document sheaf to arrive at the feed position in a situation in which the document sheaf has a maximum permitted thickness. When a second travel amount is less than the first travel amount, the operation display section informs that the number of the document sheets in the document sheaf exceeds a maximum sheet number. The second travel amount is a travel amount of the lift plate taken to cause the topmost part of the document sheaf to arrive at the feed position.
