An image forming apparatus includes a coating portion configured to perform a coating process that forms a coating film on a recording sheet with an image formed thereon, a main transport path configured to transport the recording sheet with the image formed thereon and to have a branching portion formed thereon, and a sub transport path configured to be once branched from the main transport path at the branching portion and to be returned to the main transport path again. The coating portion is disposed on the sub transport path.

Image forming apparatus, processing unit, and image forming method

An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit receiving an instruction, and a connecting unit to which a wireless communication unit is detachably attached. The connecting unit is arranged at a bottom surface of a recessed portion formed on a back surface. The recessed portion has such a depth d that an indicator unit indicating a communicating state of a wireless communication unit, arranged on a surface of the wireless communication unit attached to the connecting unit, protrudes from the recessed portion. Thus, the possibility that a USB wireless LAN adaptor is damaged by external force or is erroneously pulled out can be reduced, the communicating state can easily be recognized visually, and thus, the USB wireless LAN adaptor can be used safely.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording sheet, a transport path that transports the recording sheet with the image formed thereon by the image forming portion, a coating portion that performs a coating process that forms a coating film on the recording sheet that is being transported on the transport path, and a reading portion that reads a calibration chart on the recording sheet that is being transported on the transport path. The coating portion is disposed on the upstream side in a recording sheet transport direction of the reading portion on the transport path, a calibration process is performed for an image formed by the image forming portion, and the calibration chart is formed on the recording sheet by the image forming portion in order to perform the calibration process.

Image forming apparatus and processing unit

Provided is an image forming apparatus in which one of developing units that respectively contain visible toners of black, yellow, magenta, and cyan other than the developing unit that contains the visible toner of black is replaced by a developing unit that contains a transparent fluorescent toner. Consequently, a document image can be expressed by the visible toner of black and a designated color which falls within a color reproduction range determined by two of the visible toners of yellow, magenta, and cyan, and an additional pattern which is an additional information image for preventing falsification and forgery can be printed on the document image with the use of the transparent fluorescent toner.

Image data R, G, Bare read out from an image on a document, on reception of light reflected by the image after being emitted from a first light source for irradiating the document with visible light. Image data R, G, Bare read out from the image on the document, on reception of light reflected by the image after being emitted from a second light source for irradiating the document with ultraviolet light. A color correction process is performed by reading out color corrected imaged data from a color correction table which stores in advance color corrected image data, which are associated with a combination of (i) image data, which correspond to the image data R, G, B, and image data which correspond to the image data R, G, B. By this, it is possible that even in a case where an image on the document contains a fluorescent image, the fluorescent image be easily and accurately reproduced.

A local density calculation section calculates a density of a pixel region with a predetermined size including a current point of an input image disposed at the center on the basis of a pixel value of the pixel region. A mixing ratio calculation section generates a coefficient set of coefficients &#x3b1; and &#x3b2; in accordance with a local density value calculated by the local density calculation section, and outputs the generated coefficients &#x3b1; and &#x3b2; to a weight process section. The weight process section multiplies an operation result obtained from the input image by a first filter operation section by the coefficient &#x3b1;, multiplies an operation result obtained from the input image by a second filter operation section by the coefficient &#x3b2;, adds the multiplied results to each other and outputs the result of addition as a process result of a spatial filter process section.

An image forming apparatus includes a counting section, a storage section, a control section, and a driving member control section. The counting section counts the number of recording media subjected to successive printing. The storage section stores the number counted by the counting section. The control section performs a control process including: setting a power saving mode by selecting a printing speed of the fixing section which is lower than a preset normal speed used in the normal mode while selecting a preset fixing temperature of the fixing section which is lower than a preset normal temperature used in the normal mode when the normal mode is alive while a frequency of successive printing on not more than three recording media is a predetermined percentage or more. The driving member control section switches a current printing speed of the fixing section to a printing speed selected by the control section.
