Abstract: An image forming apparatus including an image forming unit, a fixing unit, a reading unit, a reference member, and a controller is described. The image forming unit forms an image and a detection image on a sheet. The detection image is used for detecting geometric characteristics of an image to be formed on a sheet by the image forming unit. The fixing unit fixes the image and the detection image formed by the image forming unit on the sheet. The reading unit reads the detection image on the sheet. The controller adjusts geometric characteristics of the image to be formed on a sheet based on a reading result of the detection image by the reading unit, and controls the reading unit to read the reference member and executes shading correction based on a reading result of the reference member.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image former configured to form an image on a sheet, an inspector configured to inspect the sheet on which the image has been formed by the image former and determine whether or not the image of the sheet has an abnormality, and a controller configured to, in a case where the inspector determines that the image of the sheet has the abnormality of positional deviation, perform an adjustment operation in which an image formation position by the image former is adjusted.

Abstract: An image forming system includes a controller to discharge to a first discharger a sheet determined not to have a product defect and discharge to a second discharger a sheet determined to have a product defect. The controller is configured to, in a case where it is determined that a first sheet on which an image has been formed has the product defect, execute an adjustment operation of adjusting image forming conditions for an image former, and execute a recovery process in which the image formed on the first sheet is formed on a second sheet by the image former with the product defect removed based on completion of the adjustment operation.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an image forming unit configured to form an image based on an image forming condition; a reading unit configured to read a test image on a sheet; a controller configured to: control the image forming unit to form the test image; obtain read data related to the test image output from the reading unit is formed; and update the image forming condition based on the read data. The controller operates in a first mode and a second mode, the first mode is a mode in which, the controller controls the image forming unit to form the image for the second sheet after the image forming condition is updated based on the reading data related to the test image.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to perform a first image forming process and a second image forming process to form an image and a test image on a sheet; a reader, arranged in a conveyance path along which the sheet is conveyed, configured to read the test image on the sheet, the test image being formed by the image forming unit; a member; a controller configured to obtain, from the reader, reading data related to the test image on the sheet.

Abstract: An image forming system includes: an inspection unit configured to inspect a sheet and determine whether or not the sheet has a product defect; and a control unit configured to discharge to a first discharge unit the sheet not having the product defect and discharge to a second discharge unit the sheet having the product defect, wherein the control unit is configured to, in a case where the inspection unit determines that a first sheet has the product defect, execute a recovery process in which the image formed on the first sheet is formed on a second sheet, and the control unit is configured to, in a case where the inspection unit determines that the first sheet has the product defect, execute an operation of adjusting an image forming condition for the image forming unit prior to executing the recovery process.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image with a developing material; a mounting unit having a container mounted therein, the container containing the developing material; a controller configured to determine a remaining amount of the developing material in the container and determine a replenishing error of the container; and a display unit configured to display, in a state where a first condition is satisfied, a screen to prompt a reattachment of the container detached from the mounting unit while the container is not in the mounting unit, and display, in a state where a second condition is satisfied, a screen to prompt an execution of an operation for solving the replenishing error while the container is not in the mounting unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus prevents a situation in which in place of a container in which developer remains, a container other than the container is mounted. A toner bottle containing developer to be replenished to the developing device is mounted to a toner replenishment section. A sensor detects amount of developer in the developing device, and in a case where the detected amount of the developer is smaller than a predetermined amount, a first screen for prompting a user to replace the toner bottle is displayed. In a case where the toner bottle is removed without determining that the toner bottle satisfies a replacement condition, a second screen for prompting the user to remount the removed toner bottle is displayed. In a case where the detected amount of the developer is smaller than the predetermined amount while the second screen is displayed, the second screens continues to be displayed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, mounting unit to which a container is mounted, cover, detector, controller, and display unit. The image forming unit forms an image by using a developer, the cover is opened/closed to replace/cover the mounted container, the detector detects the mounted container in a cover closed/opened state, the controller determines whether a remaining amount of the developer in the container is more than a predetermined amount, and the display unit displays, in a case where the container in which the remaining amount is more than the predetermined amount is removed, a first screen promoting re-mounting of the container, a second screen on closing the cover without detecting the container after displaying the first screen, and a third screen after displaying the second screen in a case where the container is not mounted.
