Abstract
Provided is an image forming apparatus including a container which contains plural sheets, an image forming unit which forms an image on each of the sheets supplied from the container, a detecting unit which detects an image density of the image formed on the sheets by the image forming unit, a blowing unit which blows air to the sheet contained in the container, and a blowing control unit which controls the blowing unit based on the image density detected by the detecting unit.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a container which contains a plurality of sheets;
- an image forming unit which forms an image on each of the sheets supplied from the container;
- a detecting unit which detects an image density of the image formed on each of the sheets by the image forming unit;
- a blowing unit which blows air to the sheets contained in the container;
- and
- a blowing control unit which controls the blowing unit based on the image density detected by the detecting unit.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to realize functions, the computer controlling an image forming apparatus comprising an image forming unit which forms an image on each of the sheets supplied from a container which contains a plurality of sheets and a blowing unit which blows air to the sheets contained in the container, the functions comprising:
- a detection function of detecting an image density of the image formed on each of the sheets by the image forming unit;
- and
- a control function of controlling the blowing unit based on the image density detected by the detection function.
An image forming method comprising:
- forming an image on each of a plurality of sheets supplied from a container which contains the plurality of sheets;
- detecting an image density of the image formed on each of the sheets in the forming step;
- blowing air to the sheets contained in the container;
- and
- controlling the blowing based on the image density detected in the detecting step.
