Abstract
A media detection apparatus for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection apparatus comprising: a light emitter that emits light; a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet; and a first hardware processor that determines the moisture information on the basis of temperature information corresponding to a temperature of the media detection apparatus and an output of the light receiver.
Claims29
A media detection apparatus for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection apparatus comprising:
- a light emitter that emits light;
- a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet;
- and
- a first hardware processor that determines a value indicating the moisture information on the basis of temperature information corresponding to a temperature of the media detection apparatus and an output of the light receiver.
An image forming system comprising:
- an image former that forms an image on a sheet;
- a media detection apparatus that detects moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of the sheet;
- and
- a second hardware processor that determines process conditions in the image former,
- wherein
- the media detection apparatus includes a light emitter that emits light and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet, and
- the second hardware processor determines the process conditions on the basis of temperature information corresponding to a temperature of the media detection apparatus and an output of the light receiver, not based on the humidity of the media detection apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a media detection program for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection program
- causing a computer to execute:
- acquiring temperature information corresponding to a temperature of a media detection apparatus including a light emitter that emits light and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet;
- and
- determining a value indicating the moisture information on the basis of temperature information corresponding to a temperature of the media detection apparatus and an output of the light receiver.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a process condition control program for determining process conditions for forming an image on a sheet in an image former, the process condition control program
- causing a computer to execute:
- acquiring temperature information corresponding to a temperature of a media detection apparatus including a light emitter that emits light and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet;
- and
- determining the process conditions on the basis of temperature information corresponding to a temperature of the media detection apparatus and an output of the light receiver, not based on the humidity of the media detection apparatus.
