Abstract

A decoloring apparatus includes a decoloring assembly, a driver configured to drive the decoloring section, and a storage configured to store first setting information, as setting information when there is no next job, and second setting information, as setting information when there is a next job; and a controller. The controller is configured to perform control to drive the decoloring assembly based on conveyance speed and set temperature corresponding to a predetermined, coverage rate of the image receiving medium in the first setting information stored in the storage if there is no next job, or perform control to drive the decoloring assembly based on the conveyance speed and the set temperature corresponding to a predetermined coverage rate of the image receiving medium in the second setting information stored in the storage if there is a next job.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A decoloring apparatus, comprising:

a decoloring assembly configured to heat an image receiving medium on which an image is formed by a decolorable color material at a predetermined set temperature;
a driver configured to drive the decoloring assembly at a predetermined conveyance speed;
a storage configured to store:
first setting information, being setting information when there is no next job, in which a set temperature of the decoloring assembly for each of plural coverage rates of the image receiving medium and a conveyance speed of the driver are associated with each other, and
second setting information, being setting information when there is a next job, in which a set temperature of the decoloring assembly for each of plural coverage rates of the image receiving medium and a conveyance speed of the driver are associated with each other;
and
a controller configured to:
perform control to drive the decoloring assembly based on the conveyance speed and the set temperature corresponding to a predetermined coverage rate of the image receiving medium in the first setting information stored in the storage when there is no next job, or
perform control to drive the decoloring assembly based on the conveyance speed and the set temperature corresponding to a predetermined coverage rate of the image receiving medium in the second setting information stored in the storage when there is a next job.

A method of operating a decoloring apparatus including a decoloring assembly configured to heat an image receiving medium on which an image is formed by a decolorable color material at a predetermined set temperature, and a driver configured to drive the decoloring assembly at a predetermined conveyance speed, the method comprising:

performing control to drive the decoloring assembly based on the conveyance speed and the set temperature corresponding to a predetermined coverage rate of the image receiving medium in first setting information when there is no next job, and
perform control to drive the decoloring assembly based on the conveyance speed and the set temperature corresponding to a predetermined coverage rate of the image receiving medium in second setting information when there is a next job,
wherein the first setting information is setting information when there is no next job, in which a set temperature of the decoloring assembly for each of plural coverage rates of the image receiving medium and a conveyance speed of the driver are associated with each other, and
wherein the second setting information is setting information when there is a next job, in which a set temperature of the decoloring assembly for each of plural coverage rates of the image receiving medium and a conveyance speed of the driver are associated with each other.
