Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a sensor configured to detect first information related to a physical property value of a sheet, the sheet to have an image formed thereon; and a processor configured to: obtain second information related to a brand of the sheet; and store the first information and the second information in a memory, the first information being detected by the sensor, the second information being obtained by the processor.
Claims21
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect first information related to a physical property value of a sheet, the sheet to have an image formed thereon;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain second information related to a brand of the sheet;
- and
- store the first information and the second information in a memory, the first information being detected by the sensor, the second information being obtained by the processor, wherein the processor comprises:
- a recognition portion recognizing a sheet type according to the first information detected by the sensor;
- and
- a correction portion configured to correct a recognition result obtained by the recognition portion, and
- wherein the processor stores the recognition result in the memory, the recognition result being corrected by the correction portion.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- obtain first information related to a physical property value of a sheet, the sheet to have images formed thereon;
- and
- obtain second information related to a brand of the sheet, wherein the processor comprises:
- a recognition portion recognizing a sheet type according to the first information detected by the sensor, and
- a correction portion configured to correct a recognition result obtained by the recognition portion;
- and
- a memory configured to store the first information and the second information, the first and second information being obtained by the processor, wherein the processor stores the recognition result in the memory, the recognition result being corrected by the correction portion.
An information collecting method comprising:
- allowing a sensor to detect first information related to a physical property value of a sheet, the sheet to have an image formed thereon;
- allowing a processor to obtain second information related to a brand of the sheet;
- and
- allowing the processor to store the first information and the second information in a memory, the first information being detected by the sensor, the second information being obtained by the processor, wherein the processor comprises:
- a recognition portion recognizing a sheet type according to the first information detected by the sensor;
- and
- a correction portion configured to correct a recognition result obtained by the recognition portion, and
- wherein the processor stores the recognition result in the memory, the recognition result being corrected by the correction portion.
