Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a measuring unit, a classifying unit that classifies a recording material into one of a plurality of types using measured physical property values, an image forming unit, and a control unit. The control unit controls the image forming unit in two modes: (1) in a first control mode, image formation on a first recording material is started after its classification is completed; and (2) in a second control mode, image formation on a second recording material is started before its own classification ends, applying the classification result of the preceding first recording material.
Claims14
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance path along which a recording material is conveyed;
- a measuring unit configured to measure one or more physical property values of the recording material on the conveyance path;
- a classifying unit configured to classify the recording material into one of a plurality of types by applying the one or more physical property values measured by the measuring unit to a classification model that includes a learned model;
- an image forming unit configured to form an image on the recording material based on a type into which the recording material is classified;
- and
- a control unit configured to control image formation on the recording material,
- wherein the control unit is configured to:
- control, in a first control mode, the image forming unit to start image formation on a first recording material based on a type into which the first recording material is classified after classification of the first recording material by the classifying unit has ended, and
- control, in a second control mode, the image forming unit to start image formation on a second recording material based on the type into which the first recording material preceding the second recording material is classified before classification of the second recording material by the classifying unit ends.
A display apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus configured to classify a recording material into one of a plurality of types by applying one or more physical property values measured for the recording material to a classification model that includes a learned model, start, in a first control mode, image formation on a first recording material based on a type into which the first recording material is classified after classification of the first recording material has ended, and start, in a second control mode, image formation on a second recording material based on the type into which the first recording material preceding the second recording material is classified before classification of the second recording material ends,
- the display apparatus comprising a display unit and a display control unit,
- wherein the display unit is configured to display a setting screen for accepting a setting regarding to which recording material to apply the first control mode.
