Patent number: 10397424Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoshitake Mizuno

Patent number: 10321001Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yoshitake Mizuno
