In relation to a control system of an image processor by which transmission and receiving can be conducted with an equipment placed in a store, office, hospital, etc., and with a control apparatus to conduct a maintenance control of the equipment, the maintenance control system of the image processor includes: the image processor; a communication section for transmitting and receiving information between the control apparatus and the image processor; and an information obtaining device for obtaining information to reproduce a condition of the image processor on a control apparatus side, wherein the information obtained by the information obtaining device is transmitted to the control apparatus through the communication section.

Control system of image processor

In an image forming apparatus provided with an exposing section and a conveyor for conveying a plurality of light sensitive materials relative to the exposing section, the plurality of light sensitive materials are arranged in parallel in the conveying direction so that the exposing section is divided into plural exposing blocks corresponding to the plurality of light sensitive materials. There are provided a memory to memorize plural correction amounts each set based on a characteristic of one of the plurality of light sensitive materials, wherein the plural correction amounts are correlated with the plural exposing blocks in accordance with the corresponding light sensitive material; and a correcting section to correct the amount of light for each exposing block on the basis of the corresponding correction amount.

Image forming apparatus

The invention provides an apparatus for printing an image of a negative film on a photographic print paper. The apparatus is equipped with a zoom lens for changing a printing magnification rate and the zoom lens incorporates an adjustable diaphragm for changing an aperture size. A standard F-number for each of possible magnification rates is predetermined in view of actual printing result, and a resultant F-number is stored in a memory for each of possible magnification rates. In the apparatus provided a sensor, disposed on the optical axis of the zoom lens, for detecting the illuminance of a projected surface on the photographic print paper and CPU for controlling the adjustable diaphragm in response to the detected illuminance to determine an optimum aperture size to obtain the predetermined F-number for each of possible magnification rates. The optimum aperture size is stored in the memory for each of possible magnification rates.
