As the hardware of print control section 9, such as, can use the existing devices such as general single-chip microcomputer.And, by the sellers of digit apparatus 100 or user, the application program, the i.e. control program that are described control treatment described later be installed in the auxiliary storage portion 94 that this device has and realize print control section 9.Now, control program is recorded in the removable recording mediums such as disk, magneto-optic disk, CD, semiconductor memory or by Web Publishing to sellers or user.It should be noted that control program also can be pre-stored within ROM92.
Below, the action of the digit apparatus 100 formed as mentioned above is described.And, in the action of digit apparatus 100, with the action of the existing digit apparatus action unlike printing action, especially fixing section 4, so, be described centered by this point below.
Under the state not generating print job, CPU91 makes fixing roller 41 and core 45 stop.It should be noted that, so-called print job refers to that such as response starts the request of duplicating, starts the print request relevant to file etc. and a series of printing actions of starting.Therefore, the number of prints in a print job according to as duplicate object original copy number or duplicate number, a file number of pages or print the various condition such as number and various change occur.
CPU91 produces print job, and response starts the control treatment shown in Fig. 2 according to the control program be stored in ROM92 or auxiliary storage portion 94 by systems control division 8 indicates printing action.And the content of the process below illustrated is an example, suitably can apply the various process that can obtain equifinality.
In Act1, the second count value in first and second count value being used for counting number of prints resets by CPU91.Like this, the second count value is the count value relevant to number of prints from the sart point in time of print job.
In Act2, CPU91 starts printing action.Specifically, CPU91 starts and is contained in for the motor that makes photosensitive drums 31 rotate and the motor for making fixing roller 41 rotate in the motor of group of motors 6, and the heating action of the startup charging action of charger 32 respectively, the transfer printing action of transfer roll 35 and well heater 41a.And, can print state if become, CPU91 then enters Act3.
In Act3, CPU91 prints on a print paper.Action for this printing can be identical with the known image processing system of electrofax mode, and therefore, description is omitted.
In Act4, CPU91 all carries out addition counting (カ ウ Application ト ア ッ プ) to the first and second count value.Here addition count value (カ ウ Application ト ア ッ プ value) is for presetting in Act3 for larger then its larger value of the size of the print paper printed.Specifically, the addition count value being defined as the size of reference dimension is set to " 1 ", the addition count value of other size is set to the value corresponding to the ratio of this size and reference dimension.As an example, to suppose A4 size, as reference dimension, to be added count value and to be set to " 1 ", addition count value during A3 size is set to " 2 ".
In Act5, CPU91 calculates in the print job implemented as mean pixel number the quantity of the print paper of each reference dimension average of the colored pixels that print paper is formed.Reference dimension can be set arbitrarily in advance, such as, may be thought of as A4 size.The quantity of colored pixels also can count as the pixel count for the object of Laser output exposed become in laser scanner 33.Count value in printing counter that the existing apparatus that can be used as print engine 3 carries, that count the Laser output for exposing can be used as colored pixels number.
And developer image is attached to by electrostatic force the print paper sent from print engine 3.Fixing roller 41 is heated by the heating of well heater 41a while rotating, and therefore, while the chien shih print paper of fixing roller 41 and backer roll 42 passes through, makes developer melting and fixing on print paper.Now, developer directly contacts with the outer peripheral face of fixing roller 41, and a part is attached on the outer peripheral face of fixing roller 41.
Like this, the developer being attached to fixing roller 41 outer peripheral face moves along with the rotation of fixing roller 41, and arrives the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.And CPU91 does not now make core 45 rotate and make clean net 43 stop.Therefore, clean net 43 reaches the developer of clamping part as mentioned above from the outer peripheral face scraping of fixing roller 41.
In Act6, CPU91 confirms that whether the first count value is consistent with predetermined first number.First number is such as suitably set as during the printing carrying out this number by the deviser etc. of digit apparatus 100, the clean net 43 of the clamping part between clean net 43 and fixing roller 41 does not stockpile and scraping can not be attached to the value of the developer of the developer level of fixing roller 41 outer peripheral face.As an example, the first number it is contemplated that and is set as 7.
CPU91 due to the first count value and the first number inconsistent and when being judged to be no at Act6, skipping Act7, Act8, enter Act9.
In Act9, CPU91 confirms whether the print job implemented completes.And when being judged to be no because the print job implemented does not complete, CPU91 returns Act3, repeats process thereafter as hereinbefore.So, CPU91 not to complete and the first count value repeats Act3-Act6, Act9 during not reaching the first number in the print job implemented.Thus, clean net 43 is in halted state always, repeatedly prints in this condition.Then, CPU91, when the first count value reaches the first number and is judged to be at Act6 by such action, enters Act7.
In Act7, CPU91 is reeled by core 45 and cleans net 43, makes the amount of movement on the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 be the first amount of movement.Specifically, CPU91 makes the motor that core 45 is rotated be included in the motor of group of motors 6 rotate for realizing a certain amount of of above-mentioned amount of movement.First amount of movement can by suitably settings such as the devisers of digit apparatus 100, and in the present embodiment, the first amount of movement is less than the clamping amplitude (ニ ッ プ width) between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.Like this, based on control program, CPU performs control treatment, therefore, is that the computing machine of maincenter part plays function as control part with CPU91.
In Act8, the first count value resets by CPU91.Namely, whenever making clean net 43 move the first amount of movement, the first count value just resets by CPU91.So, the first count value represents the number of prints after making clean net 43 move the first amount of movement.Afterwards, CPU91 enters Act9.
CPU91 repeats above-mentioned Act3-Act9, and thus, whenever terminating the printing of the first number converted by reference dimension, CPU91 makes clean net 43 move the first amount of movement.
Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are the schematic diagram amplifying the clamping part periphery illustrated between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.In these Fig. 3-Fig. 5, in order to easy understand cleans the adhesion condition of the developer on net 43, exaggeration shows the layer of developer.And.For this reason, fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 are shown discretely.
In state when the first count value reaches consistent with the first number, the first state, such as, shown in Fig. 3, be attached on clean net 43 in the Zone Full of the clamping part of developer D between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.
In state, i.e. the second state after CPU91 makes clean net 43 move in Act7, such as shown in Fig. 4, by the movement of clean net 43, the adhering zone of developer D also to stagger the first amount of movement from clamping part, and the region that do not use of clean net 43 is positioned at a part for clamping part.Thereby, it is possible to be attached to the developer on fixing roller 41 by clean net 43 again scraping.
And CPU91, when the print job because implementing terminates and is judged to be in Act9, enters Act10.
In Act10, CPU91 makes the printing action started in Act2 stop.Like this, implement to print action during enforcement print job, during this period, fixing roller 41 continuous rotation.And, with end print job correspondingly, stop the rotation of fixing roller 41.That is, in the present embodiment, between the implementation period of a print job for fixing roller 41 start to rotate after rotate stop to it during.
In Act11, CPU91 confirms whether the second count value is more than the second number and less than the 3rd number.Second and third number is such as suitably set by the deviser etc. of digit apparatus 100, and the relation of " the first number < second number < the 3rd number " is set up.So CPU91, when the relation because of " the second number≤the second count value < the 3rd number " is false and is judged to be no, enters Act12.
In Act12, CPU91 confirms whether the second count value is more than or equal to the 3rd number.So CPU91 enters Act13 when the relation because of " the second count value >=the 3rd number " is set up and is judged to be.
In Act13, CPU91 confirms whether the up-to-date mean pixel number calculated is more than or equal to the first pixel count in Act5.So CPU91, when the relation because of " mean pixel number >=the first pixel count " is set up and is judged to be, enters Act15.
On the other hand, CPU91, when the relation because of " the second number≤the second count value < the 3rd number " is set up and is judged to be at Act11, enters Act14.
In Act14, CPU91 confirms whether the up-to-date mean pixel number calculated is more than or equal to the second pixel count in Act5.So.CPU91, when the relation because of " mean pixel number >=the second pixel count " is set up and is judged to be, enters Act15.
Like this, CPU91, when the relation of " the second count value >=the 3rd number " and the relation of " mean pixel number >=the first pixel count " are all set up and when the relation of " the second number≤the second count value < the 3rd number " and the relation of " mean pixel number >=the second pixel count " all set up, enters Act15.It should be noted that the first and second pixel count is such as suitably set by the deviser etc. of digit apparatus 100, the relation making " the first pixel count < second pixel count " such is set up.As an example, suppose the colored pixels number be set to by the first pixel count in the image of newspaper degree, the second pixel count is set to the colored pixels number in half tone image.
In Act15, CPU91 is reeled by core 45 and cleans net 43, makes the amount of movement on the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 be the second amount of movement.Specifically, CPU91 makes the motor that core 45 is rotated be contained in the motor of group of motors 6 rotate for realizing a certain amount of of above-mentioned amount of movement.Like this, based on control program, CPU91 performs control treatment, thus, is that the computing machine of maincenter part plays function as control part with CPU91.Second amount of movement suitably can be set by the deviser of digit apparatus 100 etc., but, be at least greater than the first amount of movement.It is further preferred that the second amount of movement is set be greater than clamping amplitude between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.Then, if finish the winding of clean net, CPU91 then terminates the control treatment relevant to this print job.
It should be noted that, from CPU91, the rotation to fixing roller 41 after the motor making fixing roller 41 rotate be contained in the motor of group of motors 6 stopping is stopped having the some time delayed.Therefore, CPU91 adjusts execution opportunity of Act15, with make through this time lag the rotation of fixing roller 41 after stopping completely clean net 43 move.
In state, the i.e. third state after CPU91 makes clean net 43 move in Act15, such as shown in Fig. 5, due to the movement of clean net 43, the adhering zone of developer D also to stagger the second amount of movement from clamping part, only has the region that do not use of clean net 43 to be positioned at clamping part.Thus, until next print job occur standby period, the state that the developer being maintained by clean net 43 scraping does not contact with fixing roller 41.
And, CPU91 because of the second count value be judged to be no less than the 3rd number in Act12 time, because of when the up-to-date mean pixel number calculated of Act5 is judged to be no less than the first pixel count in Act13 or because of when the up-to-date mean pixel number calculated of Act5 is judged to be no less than the second pixel count in Act14, does not perform Act15 and terminate the control treatment relevant to this print job.
As mentioned above, in the implementation process of print job, carried out the printing of the first number converted by reference dimension, clean net 43 is mobile first amount of movement just at every turn.The movement of this clean net 43 is attached to the developer on fixing roller 41 ability in order to maintain scraping when the printing of upper once the first number is carried out.
And at the end of print job, when the number of prints by reference dimension conversion in the print job that this terminates and average pixel count meet predetermined condition, clean net 43 moves the second amount of movement.The movement of this clean net 43 is carried out to form the state do not contacted with fixing roller 41 by the developer of clean net 43 scraping.
Fig. 6 illustrates the figure for making clean net 43 move the winding performance of the clean net 43 of the second amount of movement at the end of print job.
As shown in Figure 6, the second count value, namely number of prints is less than or equal to the second number time, regardless of mean pixel number, do not reel.
When number of prints be more than or equal to the second number and less than the 3rd number time, if mean pixel number is more than or equal to the second pixel count, then reel.
When number of prints is more than or equal to the 3rd number, if mean pixel number is more than or equal to the first pixel count, then reel.
In print job, when having carried out printings of multiple numbers, when have printed the image of multiple high concentrations, the adhesion amount being attached to the developer of fixing roller 41 outer peripheral face also can increase.And in this case, the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 can stockpile many developers.And the developer that the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 stockpiles is more, developer more can by brute force by the outer peripheral face being pressed in fixing roller 41.Like this, if stop the rotation of fixing roller 41 in this state, then likely when rotating fixing roller 41 subsequently, developer is attached to the outer peripheral face of fixing roller 41 and moves to the clamping part side of fixing roller 41 and backer roll 42, thus causes polluting backer roll 42, print paper.
But, as previously mentioned, after the print job that the use amount of developer is likely more terminates, carry out the movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43.Therefore, until the standby period that next print job starts prevents developer to be pressed against the outer peripheral face of fixing roller 41, above-mentioned defect can be prevented trouble before it happens.
And then, as previously mentioned, be only limitted to the movement of the second amount of movement carrying out clean net 43 after the print job that the use amount of developer is likely more terminates, after the print job that the use amount of developer is likely less terminates, do not carry out the movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43.Therefore, it is possible to the number of times of the movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43 is limited to Min., the unnecessary consumption of clean net 43 can be prevented.
And, after the rotation of fixing roller 41 stops completely, carry out the movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43.Thereby, it is possible to by clean net 43 stably scraping be accumulated in fixing roller 41 and the developer in the clamping part of clean net 43.
Like this, according to digit apparatus 100, the separately movement of employing first amount of movement and the movement of the second amount of movement as described above, thus, first amount of movement is set to the minimal amount that can maintain the ability of clean fixing roller during printing the first number converted by reference dimension, and, second amount of movement is set to not make the developer being attached to clean net 43 be attached to sufficient amount on fixing roller 41, therefore, the consumption of clean net can be limited in necessary Min., and prevent the pollution of fixing roller 41, cleaning capacity can be made and clean can both term of life balancing of net, and effectively use clean net.
Present embodiment can be carried out following various distortion and be implemented.
The movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43 also can be carried out when any one or the establishment of multiple condition only when a condition is set up or in the condition of more than three.
The movement of the second amount of movement of clean net 43 also can start before the rotation of fixing roller 41 stops.
Second amount of movement also can be less than the clamping amplitude between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43.Now, when the rotation of fixing roller 41 stops, a part for the developer of the clamping part between fixing roller 41 and clean net 43 remains in this clamping part, therefore, developer is prevented to be attached to effect variation compared with above-mentioned embodiment of fixing roller 41, but, with do not carry out completely clean net 43 the second amount of movement movement situation compared with, developer can be reduced and be attached on fixing roller 41.And, thus compared with above-mentioned embodiment, the consumption of clean net 43 can be reduced.
By confirming in Act9 whether the condition making fixing roller 41 stop is set up, thus the situation that print job consecutive hours do not make the rotation of fixing roller 41 stop can being adapted to.Now, also likely from the rotation of fixing roller 41 to its rotate stop during and a print job implementation period between inconsistent.
Such as can as carry out when colored pixels number reaches a fixed number the first amount of movement clean net 43 movement etc. so suitably change the determination methods of the formation volume of developing material.
For determining whether condition judgment, the condition judgment of being only correlated with mean pixel number or the condition judgment etc. relevant with the sum of colored pixels that the condition judgment replaceable one-tenth relevant with the formation situation of developer image of the movement of the clean net 43 carrying out the second amount of movement is only correlated with the second count value.
The present invention also can be applicable to the independently image processing system be not included in digit apparatus 100 or the image processing system be assembled in the miscellaneous equipments such as duplicating machine.
Some embodiments of the present invention are illustrated, but these embodiments just propose as an example, and are not used in restriction scope of invention.These new embodiments can be implemented with other various forms, in the scope of main idea not departing from invention, can various omission, displacement, change be carried out.These embodiments and distortion thereof are included in scope of the present invention or main idea, and, be included in and be recorded in invention in claims and equivalent scope thereof.
