Description

  The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, a control method, and a program.

  Conventionally, when condensation occurs in an image forming apparatus having a facsimile reception function, printing of received data sometimes fails. Normally, received data is deleted after printing, so if printing fails, the user may not be able to confirm the content of the received data. Conventionally, the following techniques have been proposed for such problems.

  Patent Document 1 discloses the following technique. That is, in the night standby mode and when the in-flight temperature is equal to or lower than the set value, the received data is stored in the memory even after the received data is output. When the apparatus is ready for printing, the received data is printed. The data held in the memory is deleted from the oldest data that has been printed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses the following technique. That is, when data is received, everything is temporarily stored in the memory. When the charging voltage of the power source decreases due to leakage due to condensation, image formation is continued, but the facsimile received image data after the recording paper is discharged is not deleted. The heater is turned on for a certain period of time, after dew condensation is removed, printing is performed again, and image data is erased from the memory when the charging voltage does not drop again.

  However, in the techniques of Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, when it is determined that condensation is likely to occur, whether or not to execute processing for removing condensation and immediately printing the received data is executed. The intention of the user was not reflected on whether or not to do so.

  For example, in the technique of Patent Document 1, the received data cannot be printed immediately when the in-machine temperature is equal to or lower than the set value in the night standby mode. Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, when the charging voltage of the power source is reduced, the entire received data is printed even if an image defect occurs due to condensation, resulting in wasted printing paper. There is. Further, in the technique of Patent Document 2, when the charging voltage of the power source is lowered, the heater is always turned on for a certain period of time. Therefore, even in the case where no condensation actually occurs and no image defect occurs. There is a case where the heater lighting process is performed and the printing process cannot be executed during that time.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to perform processing according to the user's intention in a state where condensation can occur.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides an image forming apparatus that prints an image, and displays a print result confirmation screen when a print processing unit that performs print processing on an image and the image forming apparatus are in a state where condensation can occur. Display processing means to be displayed on the printing means; and receiving means for receiving an instruction relating to processing for the target image that is the target of the print processing.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to perform processing according to the user's intention in a state where condensation can occur.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the MFP according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the MFP 100 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a display controller 104, a display unit 105, an operation controller 106, and an operation unit 107. The MFP 100 includes an eMMC host controller 108, an eMMC 109, a reading controller 110, a reading unit 111, a print controller 112, and a printing unit 113. The MFP 100 further includes a USB host controller 114, a MODEM 115, a network control unit (NCU) 116, and a network interface card (NIC) 117.

  The CPU 101 generally controls each device connected to the system bus 118. When power is supplied, the CPU 101 executes a boot program stored in the ROM 102. Usually, the boot program loads the main program stored in the storage into the RAM 103 and jumps to the top of the loaded main program. The RAM 103 functions not only as a loading location for the main program but also as a work area for the main program.

  The display controller 104 controls drawing on the display unit 105. The display unit 105 is an LCD capable of displaying a character string of 28 characters × 7 lines, ruled lines, and a scroll bar. On the other hand, the operation controller 106 controls input from the operation unit 107 provided in the MFP. The operation unit 107 includes a numeric keypad, a cursor key, a one-touch key, and the like.

  The reading unit 111 reads a document. The reading unit 111 is optionally equipped with an auto document feeder (not shown), and can automatically read a plurality of documents. The reading unit 111 is connected to the reading controller 110, and the CPU 101 communicates with the reading unit 111 via the reading controller 110. The printing unit 113 forms an image on a recording sheet by an electrophotographic method. The printing unit 113 will be described later. The printing unit 113 is connected to the print controller 112, and the CPU 101 communicates with the printing unit 113 via the print controller 112.

  The USB host controller 114 is responsible for USB protocol control and mediates access to USB devices such as a USB memory (not shown). The MODEM 115 modulates and demodulates signals necessary for facsimile communication. The MODEM 115 is connected to the NCU 116. The signal modulated by the MODEM 115 is sent to the public network (PSTN) via the NCU 116. The NIC 117 bidirectionally exchanges data with a mail or file server via the LAN. The MFP 100 of this embodiment includes an eMMC 109 as a storage. The CPU 101 accesses the eMMC 109 via the eMMC host controller 108.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the printing unit 113 in the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the printing unit 113 includes a CPU 200, a ROM 201, a RAM 202, and a serial i / f 203. The printing unit 113 includes an I / O 204, an electrophotographic system unit 205, a paper transport system unit 206, and an environmental temperature sensor 207. When power is supplied, the CPU 200 executes a printing unit control program stored in the ROM 201. The RAM 202 functions as a work area for the recording unit control program. In addition, the CPU 200 receives various commands issued by the main program of the MFP 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 via the serial i / f 203. The CPU 200 controls the electrophotographic system unit 205 and the paper transport system unit 206 via the I / O 204 connected to the system bus 208 in accordance with the received various commands. Furthermore, the CPU 200 can acquire the temperature measurement result by the environmental temperature sensor 207 via the I / O 204.

  FIG. 3 is a software configuration diagram of the MFP 100 according to the present embodiment. Each unit indicated by a solid line in FIG. 3 is a software module realized by the CPU 101 executing the main program loaded in the RAM 103 by the boot program described above. The main program is managed and controlled by an OS (Operating System) unit 301 to execute each module described later. The OS unit 301 is combined with a driver unit 308. The driver unit 308 mediates exchanges with hardware devices such as the print controller 112 and the MODEM 115.

  A UI (User Interface) unit 302 provides various types of information to the user via the display unit 105 and the operation unit 107 and accepts various types of instructions from the user. A job control unit 303 receives a job such as copying, printing, or faxing, and controls execution of the received job.

  The storage unit 306 is a software module that physically stores and manages data such as images and user settings that are transmitted by facsimile or received by facsimile in the eMMC 109. For example, in the MFP 100 of this embodiment, when the job control unit 303 receives a fax job, the scan unit 307 receives the job request and controls the reading unit 111 to scan the document. The scanned facsimile image data is stored in the storage unit 306. The facsimile image data stored in the storage unit 306 is read by the fax unit 304 and is transmitted to the other party via the MODEM 115 and the NCU 116 by facsimile. Image data received by facsimile from the other party via the MODEM 115 and the NCU 116 is also captured by the fax unit 304 and stored in the storage unit 306.

  The print unit 305 sends various predetermined commands to the printing unit 113 via the print controller 112, receives the status of the printing unit 113, and controls the operation of the printing unit 113. For example, when printing a facsimile received image, after sending a print command to the printing unit 113, the image file stored in the storage unit 306 is read and the image data included in the image file is transferred to the printing unit 113. . The MFP 100 according to the present embodiment includes a VM (Virtual Machine) / FW (Framework) unit 309. The extended application unit 310 includes an arbitrary program described in a script language.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the condensation determination process of the printing unit 113. The process of FIG. 4 can be executed when the MFP 100 is set to operate in the dew condensation countermeasure mode, for example, by a setting by the user. That is, the user can switch whether to cause MFP 100 to execute the process of FIG. The dew condensation determination process is a part of the printing unit control program mentioned in FIG. 2, and is automatically executed when power is supplied to the CPU 200 shown in FIG. The condensation determination process is realized by the CPU 200 executing a printing unit control program developed in the RAM 202.

  First, in S401, the CPU 200 acquires the environmental temperature measurement result t (i) from the environmental temperature sensor 207 illustrated in FIG. Next, in S402, the CPU 200 determines whether or not a countermeasure against condensation is being performed. When the CPU 200 is executing the dew condensation countermeasure process described later (Yes in S402), the CPU 200 advances the process to S403. If the condensation countermeasure process is not being executed (No in S402), the CPU 200 advances the process to S406.

  In S403, the CPU 200 determines whether or not an environmental temperature t (i-1) measured before a predetermined time S1 described later is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature T1. CPU200 advances a process to S404, when it is T1 or less (it is Yes at S403). CPU200 advances a process to S406, when larger than T1 (it is No at S403).

  In S404, the CPU 200 determines whether or not the difference between the environmental temperature t (i) acquired in S401 and the environmental temperature t (i−1) measured before the predetermined time S1 is larger than a predetermined value D. To do. If the difference is greater than D (Yes in S404), the CPU 200 advances the process to S405. If the difference is equal to or less than D (No in S404), the CPU 200 advances the process to S406.

  In S <b> 405, the CPU 200 determines that there is a state where condensation can occur, and turns on the condensation countermeasure mode setting. Here, the process of S401-S405 is an example of the determination process which determines whether it is in the state which can produce dew condensation based on a temperature change. In addition, it is determined in S403 that t (i-1) is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature T1 and the dew condensation countermeasure mode setting is turned ON, and t (i) -t (i-1) in S404. ) Is greater than a predetermined value D. This means that a rise in ambient temperature and humidity is estimated at a relatively low temperature at which condensation is likely to occur, and condensation may occur. The dew condensation countermeasure mode setting may be set for each job type. By making it possible to separately set whether or not the condensation countermeasure mode is turned on for each job type when the possibility of condensation is high, the behavior when the possibility of condensation is high can be changed for each job type.

  Next, in S406, the CPU 200 stores the environmental temperature t (i) measured in S401. Next, in S407, the CPU 200 waits for a predetermined time S1 to elapse. When the predetermined time S1 has elapsed (YES in S407), the CPU 200 advances the process to S408. In S408, the CPU 200 adds 1 to i, and then proceeds to S401. That is, the environmental temperature t (i) is measured at a period of the predetermined time S1 by S407 and S408.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing facsimile reception processing. The facsimile reception process is a part of a program constituting the fax unit 304 shown in FIG. The facsimile reception process is realized by the CPU 101 executing a main program expanded in the RAM 103. When an incoming call is received via the NCU 116 shown in FIG. 1 and negotiation of the facsimile reception procedure is completed, facsimile reception processing is executed.

  In step S <b> 501, the CPU 101 waits for completion of facsimile reception for one page. When CPU 101 completes the reception of one page of facsimile (Yes in S501), the process proceeds to S502. In step S <b> 502, the CPU 101 converts the received facsimile image into a predetermined image format and stores it as a one-page image file in the storage unit 306 illustrated in FIG. 3.

  In step S <b> 503, the CPU 101 determines whether a signal indicating that there is a subsequent page is received in the facsimile reception procedure. If there is a subsequent page (Yes in S503), the CPU 101 advances the process to S501. If there is no subsequent page (No in S503), the CPU 101 advances the process to S504. In step S504, the CPU 101 closes the facsimile reception job and ends the facsimile reception process.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing facsimile image printing processing. The facsimile image printing process is a part of the program constituting the Print unit 305 shown in FIG. 3, and is automatically executed by the initialization process of the main program. In step S <b> 601, the CPU 101 waits for one or more facsimile print jobs received by the facsimile reception process illustrated in FIG. 5 to be generated and ready for printing.

  For example, if there is no facsimile print job, no recording paper or toner, or a jam has occurred during printing, the CPU 101 determines that printing is not possible. Further, when the forced memory reception setting is ON, the facsimile reception image is stored in the storage unit 306 illustrated in FIG. Also in this case, the CPU 101 determines that the facsimile print job is not ready for printing. Assume that the forced memory reception setting is ON and the image (facsimile image) received by facsimile is stored in the storage unit 306. In this case, the CPU 101 displays a message on the display unit 105 that the facsimile image is held in the memory instead of being recorded on the recording paper.

  If there is a facsimile print job and printing is possible (Yes in S601), the CPU 101 advances the process to S602. In step S602, the CPU 101 determines whether a page received by facsimile exists. If the page exists (Yes in S602), the process proceeds to S605. If the page does not exist (No in S602), the process proceeds to S603. For example, when a facsimile page is being received or when all pages have been received, the page does not exist.

  In step S603, the CPU 101 determines whether the job is closed in step S504 illustrated in FIG. If it is determined that the job is closed (Yes in S603), the CPU 101 advances the process to S604. If it is not determined that the job has been closed (No in S603), the CPU 101 advances the process to S601. Then, the CPU 101 waits for the next facsimile reception job. For example, if a facsimile page is being received and the job has not been closed, the CPU 101 returns the process to step S601.

  On the other hand, in step S605, the CPU 101 performs print processing of image data (target image) of the page received by facsimile. Specifically, the CPU 101 reads an image file of a page from the storage unit 306, and sends a command related to printing and image data stored in the image file to the printing unit 113 via the print controller 112. When the printing unit 113 receives a printing command and image data, the printing unit 113 prints the page (image formation). In step S606, the CPU 101 determines whether printing in step S606 has been successful. If the CPU 101 has succeeded (Yes in S606), the process proceeds to S607. If the CPU 101 has failed (No in S606), the CPU 101 advances the process to S601.

  In step S607, the CPU 101 determines whether the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to ON. When the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to ON (Yes in S607), the CPU 101 advances the process to S608. If the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to OFF (No in S607), the CPU 101 advances the process to S613. In step S <b> 608, the CPU 101 displays the first confirmation screen on the display unit 105 via the display controller 104. Here, the first confirmation screen is a screen that asks the user for confirmation that there is no problem in the print result. Moreover, the process of S608 is an example of a display process.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the first confirmation screen 700. On the first confirmation screen 700, an “OK” button 701, “Print later” button 702, “Print later”, and “Reprint after cleaning” are displayed along with information for prompting confirmation. A “reprint” button 703 is displayed. Here, “cleaning” means removing condensation. When the “OK” button 701 is selected, the CPU 101 receives confirmation information indicating that the print result has been obtained without any problem and an erasure instruction instructing to erase the corresponding image data. When the “print later” button 702 is selected, the CPU 101 prints the received page image later, and accepts a print stop instruction for instructing to stop the print processing. When the “reprint” button 703 is selected, the CPU 101 accepts a reprint instruction that instructs reprinting after the condensation removal process.

  The CPU 101 receives an instruction corresponding to the user operation from the operation unit 107 corresponding to the first confirmation screen 700 via the operation controller 106. Here, the instruction received by the CPU 101 in response to the buttons 701 to 703 is an example of an instruction related to processing for image data. Further, this process is an example of a reception process for receiving an instruction related to a process for image data from a user.

  In step S <b> 609, the CPU 101 confirms the instruction content received according to the button selected on the first confirmation screen 700. If the “OK” button 701 is selected and an erasure instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S610. If the “print later” button 702 is selected and a print stop instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S614. If the “reprint” button 703 is selected and a reprint instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S615.

  In step S <b> 610, the CPU 101 displays the second confirmation screen on the display unit 105 via the display controller 104. Here, the second confirmation screen displays information for notifying the user that condensation may occur, and whether to display the first confirmation screen for confirming the print result after the next time. It is a screen which shows the information for confirming with a user whether or not. That is, the second confirmation screen is an example of a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not to continue to display the print result confirmation screen, and a notification screen for notifying the user that condensation may occur It is an example.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second confirmation screen 800. In the second confirmation screen 800, the content “condensation may occur” is described. Further, a “YES” button 801 and a “NO” button 802 are displayed together with an inquiry content “Do you want to confirm the print result next time?”. When “YES” button 801 is selected, CPU 101 accepts a continuation instruction that instructs to continue displaying the first confirmation screen. When “NO” button 802 is selected, CPU 101 accepts a display stop instruction instructing not to display the first confirmation screen.

  In step S <b> 611, the CPU 101 confirms the instruction content received according to the button selected on the second confirmation screen 800. If the “YES” button 801 is selected and a continuation instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to S613. If the “NO” button 802 is selected and a display stop instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to S612. In step S612, the CPU 101 turns off the condensation countermeasure mode setting. In step S613, the CPU 101 deletes the image file of the page to be printed in step 606 from the storage unit 306, and then advances the process to step S601.

  On the other hand, in S614, the CPU 101 changes the forced memory reception setting to ON, and then advances the process to S601. In this case, the CPU 101 records in the storage unit 306 without performing print processing on the image file of the page received thereafter. In S615, the CPU 101 performs a condensation removal process. In step S <b> 616, the CPU 101 controls to reprint the image data that has been printed in step S <b> 605, and then advances the process to step S <b> 601. The printing unit 113 performs printing under the control of the CPU 101.

  As another example, the CPU 101 may accept an instruction to execute the condensation removal process and a reprint instruction as separate instructions. That is, the CPU 101 may perform the condensation removal process when an instruction to execute the condensation removal process is received, and may perform the reprint process when a reprint instruction is received.

  The condensation removal process is a process of controlling the fan (not shown) provided in the electrophotographic system unit 205 shown in FIG. 2 to rotate at full speed and waiting for a predetermined time while the fan is rotating. This is to facilitate the follow-up of the temperature inside the aircraft with respect to the surrounding temperature and recover from condensation as soon as possible. The condensation removal process is not limited to the embodiment as long as the condensation is removed. For example, by causing the electrophotographic unit 205 to pass the paper, a method of adsorbing the dew condensation on the paper transport path to the paper, etc., is performed according to the tendency of the dew generation parts of the electrophotographic unit 205. Is preferred.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the PC print image printing process. The CPC print image printing process is a printing process for print job data supplied from an external device such as a PC. The PC print image printing process is an example of a program that configures the Print unit 305 in FIG. In step S <b> 901, the CPU 101 determines whether the printing unit 113 is in a printable state. If the CPU 101 is in a printable state (Yes in S901), the process proceeds to S902. If the CPU 101 is not in a printable state (No in S901), the CPU 101 waits until the printable state is reached. If the print hold setting is ON, the CPU 101 determines that printing is not possible. In this case, the CPU 101 controls the display unit 105 to display a message indicating that the recording is suspended due to condensation or recording failure.

  In step S902, the CPU 101 performs page data printing processing. This process is the same as the process of S605 (FIG. 6). Next, in step S903, the CPU 101 determines whether printing in step S902 has been successful. If the CPU 101 has succeeded (Yes in S903), the process proceeds to S904. If the CPU 101 has failed (No in S903), the process proceeds to S901.

  In step S904, the CPU 101 determines whether the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to ON. If the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to ON (Yes in S904), the CPU 101 advances the process to S905. If the dew condensation countermeasure mode is set to OFF (No in S904), the CPU 101 advances the process to S901. In step S <b> 905, the CPU 101 controls to display the first confirmation screen on the display unit 105 via the display controller 104. This process is the same as the process of S608 described in FIG. 6, and the first confirmation screen is the same confirmation screen displayed in S608.

  In step S <b> 906, the CPU 101 confirms the button selected corresponding to the first confirmation screen 700. If the “OK” button 701 is selected and an erasure instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S907. If the “print later” button 702 is selected and a print stop instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S913. If the “reprint” button 703 is selected and a reprint instruction is accepted, the CPU 101 advances the process to step S914. The processing of S907 to S910 is the same as the processing of S610 to S613 described in FIG.

  After the processing of S910, in S911, the CPU 101 confirms whether or not the next page exists. If the next page exists (Yes in S911), the CPU 101 advances the process to S901. If there is no next page (No in S911), the CPU 101 advances the process to S912. In step S912, the CPU 101 deletes the PC print job for which all pages have been printed. Thus, the PC print image printing process is completed.

  On the other hand, in S913, the CPU 101 changes the print hold setting to ON, and then advances the processing to S901. Further, the processes of S914 and S915 are the same as the processes of S615 and S616 described in FIG. After the process of S915, the CPU 101 advances the process to S901.

  As described above, the MFP 100 according to the present embodiment controls to display a print result confirmation screen when condensation is likely to occur. As a result, the user can confirm the print result and give an appropriate instruction. Further, in a state where condensation can occur, the MFP 100 performs control so that an image to be printed is not deleted from the storage unit 306 until an instruction (deletion instruction) is received from the user. If the printing fails due to condensation, the MFP 100 can perform a reprinting process in accordance with an instruction (reprinting instruction) from the user.

  Even if there is a possibility of condensation, the printing process can be continued without performing the condensation removal process when an instruction to continue the printing process is received in response to a user operation. Therefore, the MFP 100 does not need to perform the condensation removal process unnecessarily, and the user does not need to wait for the completion of the condensation removal process. Further, the same control can be performed for a PC print job or the like according to the setting.

  As a modification of the embodiment, the options that can be selected by the user on the first confirmation screen displayed in S608 (FIG. 6) and S905 (FIG. 9) are not limited to the embodiment. As another example, a button corresponding to a job transfer instruction or a cancel instruction may be displayed. By providing the transfer instruction and the stop instruction, the user can perform reprinting with the MFP 100 in which condensation has not occurred without using the MFP 100 in which condensation has occurred.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.・ Change is possible.
