Patent number: 7071979Abstract: An image sensing apparatus senses an image by illuminating a document by a light source including three light emitting diodes which emit light of red, green, and blue so that the light reflected from the document is incident on a sensor array which in turn generates an electric signal corresponding to the incident light, wherein a predetermined light emitting diode is also turned on during a period in which no image sensing operation is performed thereby making it possible to stabilize the intensity of light illuminating an image. Thus, the invention provides a high-performance and small-sized image sensing apparatus at a low cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1997Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Atsushi Ohtani, Yasuhide Ueno, Masashi Kimura

Patent number: 5877782Abstract: An image recording apparatus comprises a FAX unit and a printer unit. The printer unit has an ink-jet printing head, and records image data received by the FAX unit or image data read by an original sheet reader in a copy mode. A sensor constituted by an actuator and a photointerrupter for detecting whether an original sheet is set is arranged in the original sheet reader. In a stand-up state of the housing of the apparatus, the actuator is removed from the photointerrupter, and this sensor is set in the same state as in the original presence state. Even if a power supply is turned on in this state, a recovery operation which is normally executed is inhibited. With this operation, contamination and occurrence of trouble caused by ink leakage can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1995Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Imai, Yasuhide Ueno, Takeshi Toyama, Naoya Watanabe

Patent number: 5832190Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a facsimile (FAX) unit and a printer unit. The printer unit has an ink-jet printing head, and records an image in accordance with image data received by the FAX unit. In this apparatus, when the power supply is turned on, the printer unit performs a hard power-ON initialization process to initialize a watchdog timer, registers, the work area of a RAM, and the like, and also initializes the RAM to erase data left in buffers. Thereafter, the printer unit transfers to a standby state. When a print request or a printer setting request is generated in the standby state, a soft power supply initialization process is executed to perform checking of the RAM, initialization of the work area, and initialization of carriage control and paper feed control, and the like. In the standby state, LEDs and the like of the printer unit are kept OFF. An operation error of the printer unit caused by remaining data can be prevented, and reliability of the apparatus can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hisao Terajima, Yasuhide Ueno, Takeshi Toyama, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Takashi Imai, Naoya Watanabe

Patent number: 5617220Abstract: In a facsimile apparatus having a V.17 MODEM, a controller examines a FIF of a received PPR. If all FIF bits are "1", the controller quickly transmits a CTC including transmission speed information by a V.21 MODEM then transmits a long training by a V.17 MODEM, transmission speed of which has been set to that indicated by the transmission speed information, and retransmits the frames required by the PPR at transmission speed of previous transmission of image information to the current retransmission or transmission speed slower than that of previous retransmission to the current retransmission. If there are any "0" bits in the FIF, the apparatus transmits a short training by the V.17 MODEM and retransmits the the frames required by the PPR at the transmission speed of the previous transmission of image information to the current transmission or transmission speed of previous retransmission to the current retransmission.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1992Date of Patent: April 1, 1997Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yasuhide Ueno
