Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device and circuitry. The image forming device is configured to form an image on a medium. The circuitry is configured to detect a position of the image forming device relative to the medium. The circuitry is further configured to control the image forming device based on the position of the image fanning device detected and image data. The circuitry is further configured to control a system state of the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device associated with movement of the image forming device relative to the medium.
Claims15
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming device configured to form an image on a medium;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- detect a position of the image forming device relative to the medium;
- control the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device detected and image data;
- and
- control a system state of the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device associated with movement of the image forming device relative to the medium.
A state control method comprising:
- detecting a position of an image forming device relative to a medium on which the image forming device forms an image;
- controlling the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device detected and image data;
- and
- controlling a system state of the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device associated with movement of the image forming device relative to the medium.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable program code that causes a computer to perform a state control method, the method comprising:
- detecting a position of an image forming device relative to a medium on which the image forming device forms an image;
- controlling the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device detected and image data;
- and
- controlling a system state of the image forming device based on the position of the image forming device associated with movement of the image forming device relative to the medium.
