  • Patent number: 11164055
    Abstract: An image processing device generates secondary data by acquiring a plurality of pieces of band data from a processor and performing image processing to the band data, and generates an interrupt to the processor each time of generating a piece of secondary data. The processor includes a division line number setting portion and a band dividing portion. The division line number setting portion sets, for each of the page images, a division line number representing a number of line images based on contents of one or more predetermined reference parameters related to load of the processor. The band dividing portion divides data of each of the page images into the plurality of pieces of band data each of which is composed of data of as many line images as the division line number.

  • Patent number: 11076064
    Abstract: A division line number setting portion sets a division line number for each page image. A band dividing portion divides data of each page image into pieces of band data each of which is composed of data of as many line images as the division line number. A band number setting portion sets a specific band number in response to the division line number. A primary conveyance event outputting portion, in synchronization with a start of data processing for each page image, instructs to start a primary conveyance of a sheet to a resist position. A secondary conveyance event outputting portion, in synchronization with an end of data processing on as many pieces of band data as the specific band number from the 1st piece of band data for each page image, instructs to start a secondary conveyance the sheet from the resist position to pass a transfer position.

  • Patent number: 9952543
    Abstract: Provided is an image-forming apparatus that prevents a drop in processing speed even when a preceding job is interrupted by a simple job (interrupt job). The image-forming apparatus includes a printer unit that prints on paper, a first transporting path that passes by the printer unit, a second transporting path that path branches off from the first transporting path and moves paper that has been turned over from front to back further upstream than the printer unit, a storage unit that stores a condition table indicates conditions for which a preceding job can be interrupted by an interrupt job, and a system-control unit that references the condition table, and when the preceding job can be interrupted, sets a printing order so that printing of the interrupt job is inserted into the printing order of the preceding job.

  • Patent number: 9571682
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to one aspect of the disclosure includes a printing mechanism, a drawing data creating circuit, a medium supply circuit, and a charging circuit. The medium supply circuit performs: a primary supply supplying the printing medium to a specific position; and a secondary supply supplying the printing medium from the specific position to the printing mechanism. When the band-used color fixed as color by the drawing data creating circuit exists, the medium supply circuit starts the primary supply prior to completion of creating all the bands of the drawing data by the drawing data creating circuit. When the band-used color fixed as color by the drawing data creating circuit exists, the charging circuit performs the charging process in a case where the color for use is color, in starting the primary supply.
