When operating unit 700 persons of being operated pivot (is "Yes" at step S811) thereby when making that positive face sensor 710 can not detect projection 720a on the supporting member 720, CPU171 is judged as operating unit 700 and is not in towards the pivot position in the front of image forming apparatus.
As mentioned above, in step S803, CPU 171 extinguishes display part 701, thereby prevents wrong the demonstration and input.CPU 171 forbids the operation (step S804) in the touch panel of display part 701 and the input of press key input section 702 places, then, switches to the state that detects by positive face sensor 710 or back side sensor 711 of waiting for.
Then, if be judged as the initiating key of supressing on the press key input section 702 703 in step S812, then CPU 171 carries out according to the input tupe and handles (step S813).When finishing dealing with, flow process turns back to step S808, and wherein CPU 171 switches to and waits for that the operator imports the state of tupe.
Then, if import tupe at the touch panel and press key input section 702 places of display part 701, then CPU 171 shows (step S817, S818) according to the content update picture of input.
Reset key 705 if push button on the input part 702 (is "Yes" at step S819), then CPU 171 removes at the touch panel of display part 701 and the tupe of press key input section 702 places input.Then, flow process turns back to CPU 171 makes initial picture be presented at step S814 on the display part 701, thereby makes input content and displaying contents return to original state.
When operating unit 700 persons of being operated pivot and are judged as back side sensor 711 can not detect projection 720a on the supporting member 720 time in step S820, flow process enters the step S803 among Figure 10.
(be "Yes" at step S 821) during initiating key 703 on supressing press key input section 702, CPU 171 carries out according to the input tupe and handles (step S822).When finishing dealing with, flow process turns back to step S817, and in this step, CPU 171 switches to and waits for that the operator imports the state of tupe.
When operating unit 700 persons of being operated pivot and are judged as back side sensor 711 when detecting operating unit 700 and being pivoted to its back position in step S811, can remove the tupe (the step S811A among Figure 16) of the operating unit 700 places input that is placed on front position (first pivot position).More specifically, CPU 171 removes at operating unit 700 and is pivoted to input on the picture of the shown before operating unit 700 of another pivot position (being back position) herein.Then, CPU 171 make operating unit 700 show thereon in advance registration and corresponding to the initial picture (the step S811B among Figure 16) of back position (second pivot position).
When operating unit 700 persons of being operated pivot and are judged as positive face sensor 710 when detecting operating unit 700 and being pivoted to front position in step S820, CPU 171 can remove from the tupe (situation as shown in figure 16 is the same) of operating unit 700 inputs that are placed on back position (second pivot position).More specifically, CPU 171 removes at operating unit 700 and is pivoted to another pivot position (being front position) input on the shown picture on the operating unit 700 before herein.Then, CPU 171 operating unit 700 is shown thereon set in advance and corresponding to the initial picture of front position (second pivot position).
For first embodiment, image forming apparatus is set on the arm of slave unit extension, comprise operating unit 700 and the sensor 710,711 that is used for the pivot position of detecting operation unit 700, this operating unit 700 is configured to and can pivots around supporting member 720 in horizontal direction.Pivot position according to the operating unit 700 that detects by sensor 710,711, on operating unit 700, show at initial picture the picture that is provided with on the picture to be set in advance, thus can improve image forming apparatus in office etc. installability (degree of freedom of installation environment) and the operability of equipment.
In first embodiment, when operating unit 700 was pivoted and just face sensor 710 is detecting less than projection 720a, the operation input being under an embargo.Yet, detect projection 720a up to back side sensor 711, just can allow operation input and demonstration.Similarly,, detect projection 720a, just can allow the operation input of position overleaf and show up to positive face sensor 710 when operating unit 700 is pivoted and back side sensor 711 when detecting less than projection 720a.
Second embodiment
Image forming apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention is structurally with identical according to the image forming apparatus of above-mentioned first embodiment.To use identical Reference numeral to represent structurally and the same or analogous identical components of first embodiment, and omit explanation it.Difference with first embodiment below only is described.
In a second embodiment, thus the multiaspect motor in laser explosure unit 7 is configured to moment of inertia drives polygonal mirror more rotationally.As a result, need the time to start the multiaspect motor.Usually, rise to the high time that needs 3～7 seconds from the halted state actuating motor or with electromotor velocity from low.Heating source in fixation unit 207 is in cold following time of state, regulates from the beginning fixing temperature, and reaching toner can needed the time to the temperature of record sheet by photographic fixing.By reducing start-up time, can shorten the quick copy time (fast copy time, F COT).For example, if when the operator realizes that by operating operation unit 700 operation that is used to duplicate is imported, carry out such as starting the preliminary work that multiaspect motor or beginning fixing temperature are regulated, be used for then that image forms preparation can beamhouse operation is more Zao to be finished than beginning after receiving the instruction that is used to duplicate again, this makes it possible to shorten the quick copy time.
Then, will before image forms operation, according to operating unit 700, whether optionally be carried out the treatment scheme that is used for the beamhouse operation that image forms with reference to the flowchart text of Figure 12 by pivoting.
Figure 12 schematically shows the control and treatment of implementing by according to the image forming apparatus of second embodiment with process flow diagram.CPU 171 realizes control and treatment by reading and carry out the program that is stored in the ROM 174.
With reference to Figure 12, image forming apparatus is in standby (standby) state that this equipment is waited for the condition that can carries out image forms.Under holding state, supporting member 720 is in formation projection 720a thereon by sensor 710 or 711 detected states.In other words, operating unit 700 is in towards the front of image forming apparatus or the position at the back side.In this state, decision operation person's operating unit 700 that whether pivoted judges promptly whether the projection 720a on the supporting member 720 can not be arrived by sensor.If the detected state of one or two sensor occur to change, then CPU 171 is judged as operating unit 700 and is pivoted in step S901, enters step S902.
In step S902, the multiaspect motor in the CPU 171 beginning driving laser exposing units 7 or begin to start fixation unit 207 (that is, from the standby temperature increase to fixing temperature) is used for the beamhouse operation that image forms thereby carry out.Image forming apparatus enters the state of operator in the input of operating unit 700 of waiting for.
Then, CPU 171 waits for initiating keys 703 be pressed (step S904).When pressing initiating key, CPU 171 makes image formation unit 200 form operation (step S905) according to the tupe carries out image that is input to operating unit 700.When image formation was finished dealing with, image forming apparatus turned back to its holding state.
On the other hand, if be judged as the variation that sensor 710 or 711 does not detect the pivot state of operating unit 700 in step S901, then CPU 171 waits for initiating keys 703 be pressed (step S903).When initiating key 703 was pressed, flow process entered the step S905 that carries out image forms operation.
Under the situation that operating unit 700 persons of being operated pivot, after operating unit 700 had carried out some input operation, it was very high with the possibility that the beginning image forms processing to press initiating key 703.Therefore, as mentioned above, in the timing of the pivoting action that detects operating unit 700, begin to be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms, the beamhouse operation that image forms for example is to start the driving of multiaspect motor or the heating of fixation unit, greatly influences the quick copy time its start-up time.More specifically, the pivoting action with detecting operation unit 700 begins to be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms.As a result, can shorten quick copy time and improve availability.
The 3rd embodiment
Figure 13 schematically shows the control and treatment that the image forming apparatus of a third embodiment in accordance with the invention carries out with process flow diagram.CPU 171 realizes this control and treatment by reading and carry out the program that is stored in the ROM 174.
With reference to Figure 13, image forming apparatus is in the holding state that wait can be carried out the condition of image formation.Under holding state, the projection 720a on the supporting member 720 is in by sensor 710 or 711 detected states, and promptly operating unit 700 is in towards the state at the front or the back side of image forming apparatus.In this state, decision operation person's operating unit 700 that whether pivoted judges promptly whether sensor no longer detects the projection 720a on the supporting member 720.No longer detect projection 720a on the supporting member 720 if be judged as sensor in step S1000, then CPU 171 judges whether to detect the pivot position (step S1001) of operating unit 700 based on the output of sensor 710,711.More specifically, if the sensor that pivot position can not be detected and before be detected afterwards outside the sensor of pivot position by sensor 710,711 arrives, then CPU 171 pivot position that is judged as operating unit 700 changes.
When the pivot position that is judged as operating unit 700 in step S1001 changed, CPU 171 showed for towards the front of image forming apparatus or the initial picture (step S1002) that sets in advance of the position of the operating unit 700 at the back side display part 701 thereon.
Then, CPU 171 judges that selected function is copy function or transmission/facsimile function (step S1003) when detecting the pivot position of operating unit.This judgement is equal to the beamhouse operation that judges whether that image formation unit 200 is carried out and be used for that image forms.As a result, if be copy function by the selected function of the pivoting action of operating unit 700, then CPU 171 makes image formation unit 200 be used for the beamhouse operation (step S1004) that image forms.On the other hand, if selected function is the transmission/facsimile function that forms without image, then CPU 171 does not make image formation unit 200 be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms, and enters step S1005.
In step 1005, CPU 171 judges whether to supress initiating key.If supress initiating key 703, then CPU 171 makes image formation unit 200 according to the tupe of importing at operating unit 700 places before initiating key is pressed, and carries out image forms operation (step S1006).When image formation operation was finished, image forming apparatus turned back to its holding state once more.
On the other hand, be not pressed if be judged as initiating key 703 in step S1005, then CPU 171 judges whether sensor 710 or 711 detects the pivot position (step S1008) of operating unit 700.If sensor 710,711 can not detect the pivot position of operating unit 700, then CPU 171 is judged as operating unit 700 and has been pivoted.In this case, flow process is returned step S1001.If be judged as the pivoting action that does not detect operating unit 700 in step S1000, then CPU waits for initiating key 703 be pressed (step S1007).Be pressed if be judged as initiating key 703 in step S1007, then flow process enters step S1006.
When operator's pivot action unit 700, the operator is very high with the possibility that input is used to begin the instruction that image forms.Before forming operation, be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms, can shorten the quick copy time at image.On the other hand, under the situation of the transmission/fax that forms processing without image or other processing, the beamhouse operation that is used for image formation becomes useless operation, can shorten the serviceable life of image forming apparatus.
Therefore, whether judgement is the function that need be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms by the selected function of the pivoting action of operating unit 700, and if necessary, carry out the beamhouse operation that is used for image formation, thereby can shorten the quick copy time and can improve availability.If do not need to be used for the beamhouse operation that image forms, then do not carry out the useless beamhouse operation that image forms that is used for, thereby shorten the serviceable life that can prevent image forming apparatus.
