Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a controller that outputs image information, an image forming unit that forms an image on paper based on the image information output from the controller, a conveyance unit that conveys the paper to the image forming unit, and a speed correction unit that corrects speed of conveyance of the paper by the conveyance unit based on information regarding an expansion and contraction amount of the image.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to output image information;
- an image forming unit configured to form an image on paper based on the image information output from the controller;
- a conveyance unit configured to convey the paper to the image forming unit;
- and
- a speed correction unit configured to correct speed of conveyance of the paper by the conveyance unit based on information regarding an expansion and contraction amount of the image.
A post-processing apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus including a controller configured to output image information, an image forming unit configured to form an image on paper based on the image information output from the controller, a conveyance unit configured to convey the paper to the image forming unit, and a speed correction unit configured to correct speed of conveyance of the paper by the conveyance unit based on information regarding an expansion and contraction amount of the image, the post-processing apparatus comprising:
- a post-processing conveyance unit configured to convey the paper conveyed from the image forming unit;
- a post-processing drive unit as a driving source of the post-processing conveyance unit;
- and
- a post-processing control unit configured to control the post-processing drive unit,
- wherein the post-processing control unit is configured to, when receiving information regarding corrected speed of conveyance of the paper, the corrected speed being the speed corrected by the speed correction unit, control driving of the post-processing drive unit so that conveyance speed of the post-processing drive unit and conveyance speed of the conveyance unit become equal.
