Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an irradiation system which can fix, cure and dry an image by selectively irradiating an image forming region on a printing medium with radiation.
SOLUTION: This marking system comprises at least one image affixing member for forming an image on a substrate by affixing a marking material to the substrate. The marking material includes a radiation-sensitive material. An addressable irradiation device receives the marked substrate from the image affixing member, and has an array of addressable irradiation elements which irradiate the marked substrate. At least some irradiation elements can be selectively actuated, and the addressable irradiation device emits the radiation within the wavelength range where the radiation-sensitive material shows sensitivity.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain the slip of a belt at the time of driving the belt. SOLUTION: A belt driving module and a corresponding method include or adopt the belt moving along a path, at least one supporting roller or another structural body to support the belt when the belt is moved along the path, a driving roller to move the belt along the path, a tension roller to apply tensile force to the belt in order to maintain the coupling of the belt with the driving roller and/or the supporting roller, at least one processing station (for example, image processing station) arranged along the path in order to perform a process related to the specified position of the belt, and a torque supporting and driving part to apply torque supporting force Td at a position between the driving roller and the tension roller. The torque supporting force Td makes the exact positioning of the belt easy by reducing the slip between the driving roller and the belt.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a registration system which accurately registers a color image on an image supporting member of a color printer to another color image. SOLUTION: In color printing using a color registration system for registering a plurality of color images on a photoreceptor belt 12 of the color printer 10, a register mark is image-formed on an image supporting surface. The register mark corresponds to the color image and is detected by register mark sensors 20A, 20B. In an initial general registration mode, a first register mark of an extended angular target 36 shape is automatically image-formed at first. Even when initial general misregistration is present, the extended angular target 36 is largely extended in a processing direction in order to avoid overlapping of the marks. A second register mark (a standard angular target 34 or the like) by which higher registration accuracy can be obtained when allowable initial registration is attained and which is arranged at a narrower space and has denser distribution, is image-formed. The registration targets 34, 36 can be generated along both sides of an image region 30 in the processing direction.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for improving alignment between color resolved images. SOLUTION: By controlling the output of image data and the speed of an image carrying member for every one or more color resolved images based on the measured position and speed of the image carrying member, the deviation of the alignment is eliminated or reduced. A position measuring sensor 352 on an image carrying member device module is used to measure the position of the image carrying member in a processing direction and provides movement information in real time. A position measuring controller 248 detects the pattern of a position measuring mark by using the sensor 352 and processes the data detected by averaging and correlating in order to eliminate a detection error, whereby the position of the image carrying member in the processing direction is decided.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To align the forward end of a color image well with the processing direction of a color printer by determining the relative phase between a scan start signal and detection of an indicator and varying the speed of a rotary polygon mirror such that the phase of the indicator is synchronized with the forward end of an SOS signal. SOLUTION: In a system 10, lateral length of the scanning line 10 is set longer the lateral dimension of an image area I and the length of scanning line 10 dependent on the length of each mirror facet 25 is longer than the raster line 22 at that point. Length of each raster line 22 depends on the laser drive module and it is determined by the time when a laser diode acts to reflect the modulated beam from each facet 25 on a rotary polygon mirror 26. Consequently, the active part of each lateral scanning line can be shifted laterally by controlling the laser drive module and the position of the exposed raster line 22 and image areas I1 -In can be shifted relative to a belt 12.
