  • Patent number: 11218616
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus to read a sheet being conveyed includes a memory and a reading device to read one side of the sheet in units of a line area orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the sheet. A read image of a first region corresponding to a leading edge side of the sheet in the conveyance direction is stored into the memory. A read image of a second region subsequent to the first region is not stored. A read image of a third region subsequent to the second region and corresponding to a trailing edge side of the sheet in the conveyance direction is stored in the memory. Each read image is an image read by the reading device. Predetermined processing is performed based on the read image of the first region and the read image of the third region stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 10397424
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises a printer for forming an image on a sheet, an image scanner for reading a measurement image formed on a sheet, and a controller. The printer forms the measurement image at four corners of the sheet. The image scanner reads the sheet on which the measurement image is formed by dividing into two parts. The controller generates an entire read image of the sheet from the read image of the measurement image which is read by the image scanner by dividing into two parts. The controller generates an adjustment condition to adjust a position of an image formed by the printer based on the entire read image of the sheet. The controller causes the printer to form the image based on the adjustment condition.

  • Patent number: 10321001
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes first and second detecting units, a conveying unit, a reading unit, a setting unit, an executing unit, a storing unit, and a correcting unit. The first detecting unit detects a size of a set document. The conveying unit conveys the set document. The second detecting unit detects a size of the conveyed document. The reading unit reads an image of the conveyed document and generates image data. The setting unit sets a setting value based on the detected size before the document image is read. The executing unit executes image processing on the image data, based on the set setting value. The storing unit stores the image data. The correcting unit corrects, where the size detected by the second detecting does not match the size detected by the first detecting, the stored image data based on the size detected by the second detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 9860405
    Abstract: The time for detecting an object position for measuring a print position displacement is shortened. A printing apparatus control method includes printing, by a printing unit, an image including an object on a sheet; reading, by a reading unit, the image on the sheet on which the image including the object is printed; generating first image data according to the reading of the image by the reading unit; determining an area to detect a position of the object from second image data generated based on the generated first image data having resolution lower than that of the second image data; detecting the position of the object from the determined area; obtaining a print position based on the position of the object detected by the detecting unit; and controlling, based on the obtained print position, the printing unit to print the image on the sheet.
