Abstract:
A reading module of the present disclosure is provided with a light source, an optical system, and a sensor. The optical system images, as reading light, reflected light of light radiated from the light source to an illumination object. The sensor converts the reading light imaged by the optical system into an electric signal. The optical system is provided with a mirror array in which a plurality of reflection mirrors are disposed in an array in a prescribed direction and a plurality of aperture stop portions that adjust an amount of the reading light. Each of the reflection mirrors is disposed at a prescribed distance from an adjacent one of the reflection mirrors in a prescribed direction.

Abstract:
An optical system, used for scanning, forms an image using reflective optical surfaces. The system may be telecentric, and may form an image that is reduced in size as compared with the scanned original. Several image-forming optical channels may be combined to form a page-wide scanning array.
Abstract:
A recording material moving device comprises: a position adjuster that moves a recording material in a direction which is parallel to a recording surface of the recording material and orthogonal to a transporting direction, in an upstream side of a recording position along the transport direction of the recording material; a reference position specifying unit that specifies a reference position; a determination unit that determines whether a range of a predetermined width centered on the reference position exceeds a movable range of the recording material within which the recording material can be moved by the position adjuster; and a controller that causes, if the determination unit determines that the movable range is not exceeded, the position adjuster to sequentially move the recording material within the movable range of the predetermined width centered on the reference position each time a condition for moving the recording material is satisfied.
Abstract:
An image data is pre-processed in parallel by a pre-processing unit (A) and a pre-processing unit (B) arranged in parallel. The image data is transferred in synchronization with an image processing signal obtained by ORing a BD signal and an interpolation signal. Laser scanning for plural beams of a multi-laser beam is performed in synchronization with the BD signal. Color matching processing or zeronization processing for the multi-laser beam is performed in synchronization with the image processing signal.
Abstract:
The drive control device of a light scanning apparatus can be easily controlled, occurrence of overshoot can be prevented, and a scanning range of a mirror section can be adjusted in a short time. An amplitude adjusting section generates at least one of first adjusting voltage for acceleration, whose amplitude is higher than that of adjusting voltage for obtaining object amplitude, and second adjusting voltage for deceleration, whose amplitude is lower than that of the adjusting voltage for obtaining the object amplitude, and applies the same to a drive circuit for a prescribed time, to perform feedback control, when a comparing section generates an error signal, so as to cancel increase-decrease variation of the error signal.
Abstract:
A pixel clock generator that generates a pixel clock to regulate a drive timing of a scanning light source includes a data generating circuit that generates phase data based on a phase data pattern to correct an uneven scanning speed and fluctuation of scanning widths, and a pixel clock generating circuit generates a pixel clock having a long cycle based on a high-frequency clock and that performs a phase shift for the pixel clock based on the high-frequency clock. The phase pattern is set-such that difference in an amount of the phase shift between the pixel clocks adjacent to each other does not exceed a basic amount of the phase shift of the pixel clock generating circuit.
Abstract:
In a color marking assembly, a series of ROS units are aligned above a photoconductive surface. These units have inboard and outboard mounts connecting them to this assembly. The inboard mounts are attached to a first side of the ROS, and the outboard mounts are attached to a second side of the ROS unit. The inboard mount is an elongated bar extending beyond the height of the ROS unit. This elongated bar has hinged portions on both its top and bottom connections to the ROS unit. The outboard mount has a ball bearing or sphere configuration. This configuration and the inboard mount enable the ROS unit to be easily deskewed when required.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for aligning a video clock with the raster output scanner start-of-scan signal in printing systems. A system and method is proposed to align the pixel clock to an asynchronous reference signal generated in the raster output scanner. The proposed system and method adjusts a phase for a static phase value while performing a dynamic phase shifting for the start-of-scan signal alignment.
