An image forming apparatus, in which a method of correcting a positional deviation of a sheet is performed, includes a detecting device to detect a position of the sheet, a pair of sheet conveying bodies to convey the sheet and correct the positional deviation of the sheet, an image forming device to form an image on the sheet, and circuitry to calculate a first positional deviation amount of the sheet based on a first detection result of the detecting device, cause the pair of sheet conveying bodies to correct the positional deviation of the sheet based on the first positional deviation amount, calculate a second positional deviation amount of the sheet based on a second detection result of the detecting device, and cause the image forming device to correct the positional deviation of an image forming position on the sheet based on the second positional deviation amount.

A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller configured to feed sheets, including at least a preceding sheet and a succeeding sheet, a conveyance roller configured to convey the sheets fed by the feeding roller, and a printing unit configured to print on at least one sheet, of the sheets conveyed by the conveyance roller. A conveyance control unit controls the conveying of the sheets by the conveyance roller to form an overlap state, in which a leading edge of the succeeding sheet overlaps with the preceding sheet. In a case in which the conveyance roller conveys the succeeding sheet to a printing start position at which a printing operation is started by the printing unit, and the conveyance control unit forms the overlap state, the printing unit is configured to print on an overlapping area in which the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet overlap.

There is provided a paper sheet recycling and printing apparatus including: a paper sheet recycling section which manufactures a recycled paper sheet under a first condition and a second condition different from the first condition; a first recycled paper sheet storage section in which the recycled paper sheet manufactured under the first condition is stored; a second recycled paper sheet storage section in which the recycled paper sheet manufactured under the second condition is stored; and a printing section to which the recycled paper sheet manufactured under the first condition is supplied from the first recycled paper sheet storage section and which prints recording information on a recording target medium including the recycled paper sheet.

Example implementations relate to initiation of a shortage model in a printing device. For example, initiation of a shortage model may include guidance of a page of print media through a printing device by a feedshaft and an upper paper guide, where the page of print media is held by a media control surface. A shortage model may be initiated based on an amount of data to be printed. An ink nozzle may be turned off based on the initiated shortage model.

It is possible to more securely reduce the printing time of printing processing to perform printing while conveying printing sheets in an overlapping manner. An image forming apparatus including: a determination unit configured to analyze print data for printing an image on one printing sheet and to determine, based on the analysis results, an overlap amount of the one printing sheet and another printing sheet conveyed in a state of overlapping part of the one printing sheet; and a conveyance unit configured to convey the one printing sheet and the other printing sheet in an overlapping manner in accordance with an overlap amount determined by the determination unit, and a target image range of the analysis of the print data is determined in accordance with a predetermined overlap amount determined in advance, which a printing unit can permit.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that are executable by a computer is provided. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the computer running the image processing program, cause the computer to generate an image to be printed on a particular type of printing medium in a printing apparatus, control a display to display the generated image, set a printing mode to one of a regular printing mode and a trial printing mode, in the regular printing mode, generate print-image information to be used in the printing apparatus to print the image on the particular type of printing medium, and in the trial printing mode, generate print-image information to be used in the printing apparatus to print the image on another type of printing medium different from the particular type, and transmit the generated print-image information to the printing program.

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit that performs printing on a medium, an apparatus main body that houses the printing unit therein and that has outer surfaces including an upper surface and a front surface that adjoiningly intersects the upper surface, a paper feed port that is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus main body and that enables the medium to be fed into the apparatus main body, a feed path that is guiding the medium fed from the paper feed port toward the printing unit and that has a curved portion for inverting the medium during the guiding, a pair of rollers that are provided at the upstream of the curved portion and that feed the medium toward the printing unit via the feed path by rotating while nipping the medium fed from the paper feed port from both front and rear sides.

An image recording apparatus includes a print engine, a sensor, a controller, and a memory. The print engine is configured to record an image on a recording medium. The sensor is configured to detect whether the image recording apparatus is moved. The memory is configured to store particular information. The memory stores instructions, the instructions, when executed by the controller, causing the controller to perform: a first deletion process of, in response to determining that a first condition is satisfied, deleting the particular information stored in the memory, the first condition being that movement of the image recording apparatus is detected by the sensor.

Proposed is a dye-sublimation printer, and more particularly to a dye-sublimation printer that can systematically control upward and downward movements of a pick-up roller, upward and downward movements of a platen roller, and driving of a take-up reel gear according to forward and backward movements of a slide plate.

A compact and portable printer, scanner and copier having dimensions and a housing allowing the device to be portable for travel with a laptop computer or other tablet or portable computing device. The three in one printer has a pivotal carriage for linear and rotational movement of the carriage and an ink cartridge. The printer also has an easily accessible removable ink cartridge maintenance system.
