Abstract
An image forming device is provided. The image forming device may include a transfer belt to move in a preset direction, a plurality of image generators to respectively generate a toner image on the transfer belt, and a controller to output an image generation signal to each of the plurality of image generators such that the plurality of image generators respectively generate a toner image. A plurality of toner images generated using the plurality of image generators are arranged on the transfer belt in parallel to each other, and an arrangement order of the plurality of toner images is identical to an arrangement order of the plurality of image generators.
Claims15
An image forming device comprising:
- a transfer belt to move in a preset direction;
- a plurality of image generators to respectively generate a toner image on the transfer belt;
- and
- a controller to output an image generation signal to each of the plurality of image generators such that each of the plurality of image generators generates a toner image,
- wherein the plurality of toner images generated by the plurality of image generators are arranged on the transfer belt in parallel to each other, and an arrangement order of the plurality of toner images is identical to an arrangement order of the plurality of image generators.
A method of controlling an image forming device comprising a plurality of image generators each generating a toner image on a transfer belt, the method comprising:
- providing an image generation signal to the plurality of image generators;
- generating the plurality of toner images on the transfer belt according to the image generation signal;
- emitting light towards the transfer belt and sensing light reflected by the plurality of toner images;
- and
- performing, based on the sensed reflected light, at least one of concentration control of the plurality of toner images and alignment of the plurality of images,
- wherein the plurality of toner images are arranged on the transfer belt in parallel with each other, and an arrangement order of the plurality of toner images is identical to an arrangement order of the plurality of image generators.
