An image forming apparatus includes a fixing portion including a fixing nip for fixing a toner image on a sheet. A controller executes image formation on a first sheet and a second sheet of which size in a widthwise direction is larger than that of the first sheet. The controller changes a time from when a trailing end of the sheet has passed through the fixing nip until when a following sheet reaches the fixing nip. When a width of the toner image to be formed on the sheet in the widthwise direction is defined as an image area width, the controller controls so that the time when the width of the first sheet is equal to or longer than the image area width of the second sheet is shorter than the time when the width of the first sheet is shorter than the image area width.

Image forming apparatus with improved uniformity of heat at the nip of its fixing device

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image with toner, a halftone processor configured to convert image data by performing halftone processing, a first determining unit configured to determine a first toner consumption amount for each page based on the image data, a second determining unit configured to determine a second toner consumption amount for each page based on the converted image data, a print percentage calculator configured to calculate a print percentage for one page based on the first toner consumption amount, a notifying unit configured to notify a remaining amount of the toner of the image forming unit based on the first toner consumption amount of a page of which the print percentage is larger than a threshold and the second toner consumption amount of a page of which the print percentage is equal to or smaller than the threshold.

Image forming apparatus and information processing device

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet of perforated paper; an input unit configured to receive first information and second information; and a processor configured to display an alarm display without performing sheet-passing of the sheet of perforated paper. The first information is information concerning the sheet of perforated paper on which an image is to be formed by the image forming unit and the second information is information concerning whether to perform automatic double-sided printing on the sheet of perforated paper or not. The processor is configured to display the alarm display in a case where the automatic double-sided printing is instructed and it is determined that the sheet of perforated paper has a cut-off portion.

Image forming apparatus and image processing apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprises: an image processor to convert image data based on a conversion condition; an image forming unit to form an image based on the converted image data using a replaceable member; a memory to store the image data and the converted image data; a sensor to perform measurement of a test image; and a controller. If the replacement of the replaceable member is detected while forming images, the controller controls the image forming unit to form the test image and generates the conversion condition based on a result of the measurement of the test image. If the replacement of the replaceable member is detected while forming the images, the controller further controls the image processor to convert the image data stored in the memory based on the generated conversion condition.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet; an image processing unit configured to perform processing, which comprises correction of color misregistration, on image data for controlling the image forming unit to form the image; and a controller configured to instruct the image forming unit to perform calibration in a case where a component of the image forming unit is replaced. The image forming unit includes a storage unit, and is configured to acquire correction information to be used for the correction of color misregistration in the calibration to store the correction information in the storage unit, and the image processing unit includes a memory configured to store first image data, which is the image data before being processed, and second image data, which is obtained by compressing the image data after being processed.

The present invention provides an operation system for a vehicle capable of shortening an operation time, reducing an operation load, and improving visibility of a display section. The operation system includes an operation section on which a camera capturing a finger and a touch panel are installed, and a display section installed away from the operation section, and further includes a finger determination processor determining from an image captured by the camera whether or not an object approaching the operation section is a hand, a conversion processor converting a determination signal of the finger determination processor into a display instruction signal and outputting the converted result, and a pop-up processor displaying an operation button or an operation window on the display section before the hand is touched to the touch panel on the basis of the display instruction signal input from the conversion processor.
