Utility
Image forming apparatus, image forming system, method of calibrating image detection unit, and post-processing apparatus
30 Sep 19
An image forming apparatus that includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a transfer medium, a conveying unit that conveys the transfer medium, a first image detection unit that detects the image formed by the image forming unit on the transfer medium; and a control unit that controls the forming of the image and the conveying of the transfer medium, and receives detection results from the first image detection unit and a second image detection unit, wherein the control unit determines whether the image detected by the first image detection unit has image quality higher than or equal to predetermined quality and calibrates the first image detection unit based on the detection result from the first image detection unit and the detection result from the second image detection unit for the image having the image quality higher than or equal to predetermined quality.

Utility
Abnormality detection and processing for image forming systems and devices
30 Sep 19
A control device determines whether an abnormality occurs in an image formed on a paper sheet with reference to image forming information regarding image formation generated by an image forming device that provides an area to be cut in the paper sheet and forms an image in an image forming area and read image information generated according to reading by a reading device that reads the image formed on the paper sheet, and generates control information for controlling image formation of the image forming device, wherein in a case where an abnormality is detected in the image forming area, the control device generates control information for adjusting positions of the image forming area and the area to be cut to move the abnormality to the area to be cut and notifies the image forming device of the control information.
