However, occurring in that a kind of image processing system in recent years, it is in order to reduce power consumption, according to the image to be formed The temperature for entering to be about to fixing processing unit is suppressed to the fixing control of relatively low intelligence.Specifically, the toner image of image is formed Toner adhesion amount is fewer, and the fixing control of intelligence more carries out fixing processing with low temperature., can be by by the fixing control of intelligence Computer heating control is in Min., so as to reduce power consumption.For the image to be formed, the toner adhesion amount energy of toner image The enough information such as any in concentration, text width, word size, colored and black and white is judged.
In the image processing system for carrying out the fixing control of such intelligence, the first paper of fixing processing is carried out with low temperature In the case of passing sequentially through fixing processing unit with the second paper that fixing processing is carried out with high temperature, the second paper reaches fixing processing Fixing processing unit must be made to be set to high temperature before portion.So, in this case, even if the first paper is in by being fixed processing unit During, it is also necessary to make fixing processing unit heating.However, due in the first paper by fixing processing unit during start to rise Temperature, the problem of causing easily to crimp in the presence of the first paper.Because above-mentioned any prior art does not all account for such The fixing control of intelligence, so the problem of can not all solving to produce in the fixing control of such intelligence.
The content of the invention
The present invention is made for the purpose of solving the problems of above-mentioned prior art.In other words, it is of the invention Problem is to provide a kind of power consumption that can be reduced and be fixed when handling, and suppresses the image processing system of the generation of curling.
The image processing system of the invention made for the purpose of solving the problem has:Image forming part, it is formed Toner image, by the way that the toner image is transferred on sheet material, forms toner image on sheet material;Fixing processing unit, it has Receive the heating part of the heating of thermal source and the pressurization part of clamp-press part is collectively forming with heating part, make the piece transferred with toner image Material carries out fixing processing by clamp-press part;Apparatus control portion, each several part of its control device and carry out image and formed;The image Forming apparatus is characterised by having:Heated side temperature output section, it exports the temperature for representing heating part in the position of clamp-press part Heated side temperature value;Pressure side temperature output section, it exports the pressure side for representing pressurization part in the temperature of the position of clamp-press part Temperature value;When the fixing required heat for the toner image being transferred to using image forming part on sheet material is few, needed for fixing Heat multidate ratio, apparatus control portion by sheet material by the target of heated side temperature value during clamp-press part be fixing temperature set To be relatively low;Apparatus control portion is controlled the fixing control of intelligence of the heating of thermal source so that heated before sheet material reaches clamp-press part Side temperature value turns into the temperature more than fixing temperature set by the sheet material;Also, first for continuing through clamp-press part The second sheet material after sheet material and the first sheet material, when the fixing temperature of the second sheet material is higher than the fixing temperature of the first sheet material, dress Put control unit perform to be formed image temperature difference limitation control so that the first sheet material by heated side temperature value during clamp-press part with The difference of pressure side temperature value is that temperature difference is poor no more than ceiling temperature set in advance.
The image processing system of the present invention carries out the heating of thermal source using the fixing control of intelligence with Min., thus reduces The power consumption of fixing processing unit.In the case where carrying out the fixing control of intelligence, the fixing temperature of the second sheet material is higher than the first sheet material Fixing temperature when, during the first sheet material is by clamp-press part, the temperature difference of heating part and pressurization part in clamp-press part becomes big, May the more serious curling of the first sheet material generation.Then, schemed using in the way of making temperature difference no more than ceiling temperature difference As the temperature difference limitation control formed, degree that the first sheet material crimps can be reduced and suppress paperboard.
Moreover, in above-mentioned image processing system, preferably heated side temperature output section is detection heating part in clamp-press part The sensor of the temperature of position, pressure side temperature output section is the sensor for detecting pressurization part in the temperature of the position of clamp-press part, The heating that apparatus control portion reaches the value being redefined for below ceiling temperature difference in temperature difference limitation control, in temperature difference stops Only during temperature difference, stop the heating of thermal source.This be due to can be based on clamp-press part heating part and pressurization part actual temperature it is poor, Reliably make temperature difference poor no more than ceiling temperature.Suppress paperboard thereby, it is possible to mitigate degree that the first sheet material crimps.
Moreover, in above-mentioned image processing system, preferably heated side temperature output section and pressure side temperature output section are dresses Put control unit;Apparatus control portion makes first before the toner image of the first sheet material is initially formed using image forming part to one side Sheet material is by clamp-press part while when being heated using thermal source and the heated side temperature value is risen to the fixing temperature of the second sheet material Heated side temperature value and pressure side temperature value emulated;Based on by emulating the heated side temperature value obtained and pressure side temperature Angle value, the guess value of the temperature difference when rear end for obtaining the first sheet material reaches clamp-press part speculates temperature difference;In the supposition obtained In the case that temperature difference exceedes ceiling temperature difference, determine to perform temperature difference limitation control;Determining to perform temperature difference limitation control In the case of, temperature difference limitation control is performed when forming the image of the first sheet material.This is due to deduce folder by emulation The heating part of splenium and the actual temperature difference of pressurization part carry out temperature difference limitation when exceeding ceiling temperature difference and controlled, can be by temperature Difference suppresses following in ceiling temperature difference.Suppress paperboard thereby, it is possible to mitigate degree that the first sheet material crimps.

On the other hand, the paper P for being accommodated in paper feeding cassette 51 is extracted to carrying path 50 page by page since topmost.Quilt The paper P of extraction is transported to secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 along carrying path 50.Paper P enter secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 when Machine is finely adjusted using regulating roller 53 is directed at so that the opportunity presss from both sides with the toner image on intermediate transfer belt 30 into secondary transfer printing Splenium N1 opportunity is consistent.Thus, in secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1, the toner images of four overlapping colors is transferred (secondary Transfer) on paper P.
Further conveyed transferred with the paper P of toner image to the downstream of carrying path 50.That is, in paper P is discharged to paper delivery portion 55 after fixing clamp-press part N2 is carried out the fixing processing of toner image using exit roller 54.Need Illustrate, after secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 has been passed through, residual transfer residual toner on the intermediary transfer belt 30 also by Band cleaning device 41 is reclaimed, and thus, transfer residual toner is removed from intermediate transfer belt 30.
In addition, in the case where carrying out duplex printing to paper P, figure is formed with the first face by carrying path 50 The paper P of picture using exit roller 54 while carry out positive and negative upset, while being transported to two-sided carrying path 60.That is, In the image processing system 1 of the manner, exit roller 54 doubles as making the turning part that paper P positive and negative is overturn.Then, pass through The paper P of two-sided carrying path 60 is transported to carrying path 50 again.Thereby, it is possible to opposite with the first face in paper P Image is formed on second face.The rear of paper P for being formed with image on two-sided in this way is discharged to exit roller 55.
Here, image processing system 1 can carry out accordingly setting the temperature of fixing processing unit 70 with the image to be formed Control is fixed for the intelligence of different temperatures.Specifically, it is fixed in the intelligence of the manner in control, the tune with the image to be formed Heating of the toner adhesion amount of toner picture accordingly to heater 74 is controlled.That is, toner adhesion amount is being carried The paper P of few toner image is by being fixed clamp-press part N2 time controls refrigerating/heating apparatus 74 so that heating-up temperature, which is less than, carries tune The paper P of toner image more than toner adhesion amount passes through heating-up temperature during fixing clamp-press part N2.Reason for this is that toner adhesion amount With toner adhesion amount multidate ratio when few, using low temperature heating toner image can be made to be fixed on paper P.
In addition, being determined using the fixing control of intelligence the paper P for carrying the few toner image of toner adhesion amount In the case of shadow processing, power consumption can be suppressed.It should be noted that being mixed colours in the image processing system 1 of the manner In the case of the fixing processing of coloured image more than agent adhesion amount, so that fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P heating-up temperature is set to Fixing temperature T1 set in advance normal mode carries out fixing processing.On the other hand, few black of toner adhesion amount is being carried out In the case of the fixing processing of white image, determine so that paper P heating-up temperature is set to lower than the fixing temperature T1 of normal mode Shadow temperature T2 low temperature mode carries out fixing processing.That is, image processing system 1 the different normal mode of temperature with it is low The warm mode transfer formula for being fixed processing unit 70 is switched between warm pattern and fixing processing is carried out.
It should be noted that think in the manner, when forming coloured image when forming black white image compared with toner Toner adhesion amount as in is more and carries out the switching of warm mode transfer formula.But it is also possible to be judged based on other information with usual mould Which pattern in formula and low temperature mode carries out fixing processing.In the judgement, except the image to be formed be coloured image and Outside any in black white image, text width, word size, image color of the image to be formed etc. can also be used to believe Breath.In addition it is also possible to be judged based on the relevant informix of the toner adhesion amount for the toner image to be formed with usual mould Which pattern in formula and low temperature mode carries out fixing processing.In addition, such as when forming glossy image, even if toner Adhesion amount is few, also sets fixing temperature higher sometimes.It is therefore also considered that the information outside the relevant information of toner adhesion amount And determine fixing processing is carried out with which pattern in normal mode and low temperature mode.
Illustrate the example of the fixing control of intelligence using Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is used for sequentially forming multiple images A, B, determining during C The figure that the temperature change of shadow processing unit 70 is illustrated.In Fig. 4, the process of time is represented from left to right.Image A, C are black and white Image, image B is coloured image.Therefore, to image A, C carries out fixing processing with low temperature mode, and to image B with normal mode Carry out fixing processing.
First, as shown in figure 4, CPU4 sends image A, B, C print command when performing image formation task successively.Need It is noted that the matching for the image and next image of the image that the print command of each image is related to based on print command Data (マ ッ プ デ ー タ) etc. form relevant information with image and generated.That is, image A print command is based on image A And image B Infomiation Production, image B information generation of the print command based on image B and image C, and image C print command It is based only upon image C information generation.It should be noted that in the case of carrying out next image formation after image C, it is considered to The information generation image C of image print command.
Then, the print command based on each image, is started in photoreceptor 11 using the exposure device 13 of image forming part 10 On be exposed.Afterwards, each image of development is transferred on paper P in secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 respectively, and by fixing Clamp-press part N2.In Fig. 4, with t1 represent since the exposure to image A to image A front end reach fixing clamp-press part N2 when Between, represent that reaching a certain position to image B front end from the front end of the image A by conveying reaches a certain position of identical with t2 Time.Time t1, t2 is the known value when sending image A print command, because image A print command is based on figure As A and image B information is generated.
Here, carrying out fixing processing to image B with normal mode to image A with low temperature mode.Wherein, it is attached to toner The few black white image of the amount of wearing is image A, even if carrying out fixing processing, image with the temperature of the fixing temperature T2 higher than low temperature mode Quality will not also decline.On the other hand, to image B, it is fixed with the temperature of the fixing temperature T1 less than normal mode It may decline image quality in the case of processing.Reason for this is that:In order to make toner image be fixed well on paper P, Need suitably to be heated according to the toner adhesion amount of toner image.
Therefore, as shown in figure 4, in image processing system 1, when image B front end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2, controlling Heater 74 is so that fixing clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature reaches the fixing temperature T1 of normal mode.Here, as shown in figure 4, In order that fixing clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature rises to fixing temperature T1, it is necessary to time t3 before image B front end is reached. Time t3 be in order that fixing clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature from fixing temperature T2 rise to fixing temperature T1 needed for most in short-term Between.Therefore, the most short heating-up time is used as using t3 below.Therefore, shift to an earlier date most when the front end than image B reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 Short heating-up time t3, normal mode is switched to by warm mode transfer formula from low temperature mode.
In addition, most short heating-up time t3 is also the known value when sending image A print command.Due to time t1, t2, T3 is known, so being switched in Fig. 4 with the Δ t exposures since image A represented up to by warm mode transfer formula from low temperature mode Time during for normal mode is also the known value when sending image A print command.In addition, time t1, t2 in Fig. 4, T3 and time Δ t are the time when image quality that will be formed is set to usual degree and improves production efficiency as much as possible.
As shown in figure 4, being fixed clamp-press part N2 heating temperature after normal mode is switched to transferred with image A paper P Spend during rising to fixing temperature T1 from fixing temperature T2 by being fixed clamp-press part N2.
Fixing temperature T2 more than of the heating-up temperature of fixing clamp-press part N2 in heating in low temperature mode.Therefore, not because logical Cross heating in fixing clamp-press part N2 and cause image A image quality to decline.But, pass through the fixing clamp-press part in heating N2 image A paper P causes the curling of the degree of paperboard in the conveying after.
Then, illustrate to have passed through the situation that the paper P of the fixing clamp-press part N2 in heating is crimped.Fig. 5 is to represent to make The curve map that paper P passes through the temperature of fixing processing unit 70 during the fixing clamp-press part N2 of low temperature mode.When Fig. 5 transverse axis is represented Between, the longitudinal axis represent temperature.Also, in Figure 5, the temperature on fixing processing unit 70, temperature sensor is represented with double dot dash line 76 detection temperature, represents temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 with solid line, is represented by dotted lines backer roll 71 and exists Temperature near fixing clamp-press part N2.
To the temperature of fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2, it is used to examine by being arranged on each position The sensor of testing temperature is detected.Moreover, Fig. 5 represents to make paper P pass through the fixing temperature T2 states in low temperature mode The temperature detected by each sensor during fixing clamp-press part N2.
As shown in figure 5, temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 maintains fixing temperature T2.As it was previously stated, Fixing band 75 is the structure member of the surface side of paper P carrying toner image.By making fixing band 75 attached in fixing clamp-press part N2 Near temperature is fixing temperature T2, can carry out fixing processing to the toner image for being carried on paper P with low temperature mode.
It should be noted that the paper P that the temperature Yin Qire of fixing band 75 is passed fixing clamp-press part N2 captures and dropped It is low.But, the heating of the heated device 74 of amount of the temperature of the reduction and supplement, so fixing band 75 is in fixing clamp-press part N2 Neighbouring temperature also substantially maintains fixing temperature T2 during paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2.Also, temperature sensor 76 Detection temperature maintain slightly higher than fixing temperature T2 temperature.Because the test position of temperature sensor 76 is than fixed Shadow clamp-press part N2 is closer to the position of heater 74.
Temperature of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is maintained somewhat before paper P reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 Less than fixing temperature T2 temperature.This is due to that backer roll 71 utilizes the heat conduction from fixing band 75 without thermal source and added Heat.In Figure 5, represent that the fixing band 75 that paper P is reached before being fixed clamp-press part N2 is attached in fixing clamp-press part N2 with temperature difference TD1 The difference of temperature of the near temperature with backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2.
As shown in figure 5, temperature of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is because paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2 Reduction.Because the heat of backer roll 71 is captured by the paper P by being fixed clamp-press part N2, also, pass through fixing folder in paper P During splenium N2, the heat conduction from fixing band 75 is blocked by paper P.
The temperature of backer roll 71 is persistently reduced during paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2, reaches fixed in paper P rear end Reached during shadow clamp-press part N2 minimum.Fixing cramping when representing that paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 with temperature difference TD2 The difference of the temperature of fixing band 75 near portion N2 and the temperature of backer roll 71.
Temperature difference TD2 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 is more than paper P and reached before fixing clamp-press part N2 Temperature difference TD1.Also, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 and backer roll 71 is from passing through fixing clamp-press part N2 Paper P front end gradually increase to rear end.For paper P, clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and the temperature of backer roll 71 are fixed Degree difference is bigger, more serious by the curling occurred after the fixing clamp-press part N2.That is, having passed through fixing cramping in Figure 5 The curling more serious than front occurs for portion N2 paper P rear end side.But, the temperature difference TD2 shown in Fig. 5 does not have so Greatly, passed through fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P do not occur at after conveying in cause the curling of the degree of paperboard seriously.
Then, the temperature for making paper P by the fixing processing unit 70 during fixing clamp-press part N2 in heating is represented in figure 6 Degree.In other words, Fig. 6 is after normal mode is switched to from low temperature mode, is fixed clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature by fixing temperature T2 rise to fixing temperature T1 during, the curve map of the temperature of fixing processing units 70 of paper P when passing through fixing clamp-press part N2.Should Fig. 6 situation is different from Fig. 5 situation, and as illustrated in Fig. 4, paper P is sent out sometimes in the conveying after Life causes the curling of the degree of paperboard.
As shown in fig. 6, temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is before paper P reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 Begun to ramp up from fixing temperature T2.Temperature of the paper P near the fixing clamp-press part N2 of fixing band 75 rises from fixing temperature T2 To passing through fixing clamp-press part N2 during fixing temperature T1.
On the other hand, temperature of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is dropped by fixing clamp-press part N2 because of paper P It is low, reached when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 minimum.In figure 6, represent that paper P rear end reaches fixed with TD3 The temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 during shadow clamp-press part N2 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71.
As shown in fig. 6, temperature difference TD3 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2, which is more than paper P, reaches fixing folder Temperature difference TD1 before splenium N2.Also, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 and backer roll 71 is from passing through Fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P front end gradually increases to rear end.Therefore, in figure 6, fixing clamp-press part N2 paper is being passed through Open curling of the P rear end side generation than front seriously.
In Figure 5, as it was previously stated, temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is maintained one with fixing temperature T2 It is fixed, and temperature reduction of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2.On the other hand, in figure 6, fixing band 75 is in fixing cramping Portion N2 temperature rises from fixing temperature T2, on the other hand, temperature reduction of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2.Cause This, in figure 6, temperature difference TD3 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 is more than Fig. 5 temperature difference TD2.Namely Say in the case shown in fig. 6, more serious curling occurs compared with the situation shown in Fig. 5.In the case of fig. 6, pass through It some times happens that causing the serious curling of paperboard degree in conveyings of the fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P after.
Then, in order to suppress paper P serious curling occurs for the image processing system 1 of the manner, carry out fixing band 75 with The fixing processing that the temperature difference of backer roll 71 does not increase.In other words, during paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2, it is controlled The temperature difference limitation control of each several part so that the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of fixing clamp-press part N2 positions is no more than It is stored in the ceiling temperature difference TDlim in nonvolatile memory 5.As it was previously stated, ceiling temperature difference TDlim is fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and the maximum temperature difference allowed of backer roll 71, are that can be suppressed to paper P curling to have passed through at it Will not occur the temperature of the degree of paperboard in conveying after fixing clamp-press part N2.Ceiling temperature difference TDlim can carry out reality in advance Test etc. and obtain.
In the manner, first, before temperature difference limitation control is carried out, emulated in CPU4, to speculate paper P Pass through the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2.Same with Fig. 4, this is imitated Very can be while according to paper P thickness and size, paper P transporting velocity, the degree of heat of heater 74 etc. and image Form known information in relevant task and obtain time t1, t2, t3 and time Δ t while carrying out.Specifically, in image shape Into exposure start before, obtain paper P by be fixed clamp-press part N2 during fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 in fixing clamp-press part N2 respective temperature, and according to calculated temperature, temperature difference can be speculated.
Then, in the case where the temperature difference speculated exceedes ceiling temperature difference TDlim, while carrying out temperature difference limitation control System is while carry out paper P fixing processing.In the temperature difference limitation control of the manner, in fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 Temperature difference with backer roll 71 stops the heating of heater 74 more than before ceiling temperature difference TDlim.On stopping adding On the opportunity of the heating of thermal 74, it can be obtained in above-mentioned emulation using CPU4.For example, it is contemplated that than fixing band 75 in simulations The opportunity for exceeding ceiling temperature difference TDlim with the temperature difference of backer roll 71 shifts to an earlier date the time set in advance, makes heater 74 Heating stops.Or, add the upper limit in the temperature of the backer roll 71 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 in simulations Temperature difference TDlim.Further, it is contemplated that before the temperature of fixing band 75 reaches the opportunity for the temperature obtained by addition, making heating The heating of device 74 stops.
In the figure 7, represent that the fixing band 75 that the temperature difference for carrying out the manner is limited when controlling is clamped fixing with heavy line Temperature near portion N2.As shown in fig. 7, after paper P enters fixing clamp-press part N2, paper P rear end passes through fixing cramping Before portion N2, limited and controlled by temperature difference, stop the heating of heater 74, thus, it is possible to during suppressing to make heating stopping Fixing band 75 temperature rising.Also, the rear end of the paper P in the heating of heating-stopping apparatus 74 reaches fixing clamp Temperature difference TD4 during portion N2 is represented in the figure 7.
As shown in fig. 7, temperature difference TD4 is suppressed to be less than limits control and not heating-stopping apparatus 74 without temperature difference Heating when temperature difference TD3.Also, as shown in fig. 7, temperature difference TD4 is suppressed to be less than ceiling temperature difference TD1lim.Cause This, in the manner, can make paper P rear end side carry out fixing processing serious curling does not occur.Thereby, it is possible to suppress By being fixed in the conveying after clamp-press part N2 paperboard occurs for paper P.
Also, in the example of fig. 7, make the heater of stopping when paper P rear end has passed through fixing clamp-press part N2 74 heating restarts.Then, after the heating-up temperature for being fixed clamp-press part N2 reaches the fixing temperature T1 of normal mode, energy Enough make lower a paper P by being fixed clamp-press part N2.That is, in the example in fig. 4, passing through in image A paper P fixing Clamp-press part N2 and fixing clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature are reached after the fixing temperature T1 of normal mode, can make image B paper Open P and pass through fixing clamp-press part N2.
In addition, above-mentioned emulation and temperature difference limitation control only can be judged as the printing in the generation of print command The fixing temperature of the image of instruction is carried out when being less than the fixing temperature of next image of the image.That is, intelligence is fixing Next image identical situation and next figure of the fixing temperature of control in the related image of print command and the image It can be controlled in the case that the fixing temperature of picture is low without emulation and temperature difference limitation.
In the manner, as described above, thus it is speculated that paper P passes through the fixing of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 Temperature difference with 75 Yu backer roll 71, and temperature difference limitation control is carried out based on the temperature difference deduced.But, such as fixing Them are detected in the structure of the temperature sensor for the temperature being fixed near clamp-press part N2 with being respectively equipped with 75 and backer roll 71, The actual temperature of fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 is capable of detecting when during paper P is by being fixed clamp-press part N2.Also, energy The actual temperature of fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 near enough fixing clamp-press part N2 detected according to this obtains actual temperature Difference.
In order to detect temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2, such as shown in Fig. 2 can use hollow Part is represented as fixing roller 72, and in being set close to the position for being fixed clamp-press part N2 for the inner side of fixing roller 72 with double dot dash line Temperature sensor 77.Also, can also be similarly in the hollow inner side of backer roll 71 close to fixing cramping to backer roll 71 Portion N2 position sets the temperature sensor 78 represented with double dot dash line.
Then, temperature difference is obtained using the difference of the detection temperature of temperature sensor 77,78, and heating can be controlled The temperature difference limitation control of the heating of device 74, so that the temperature difference obtained is suppressed to be less than ceiling temperature difference TDlim.Tool Say body, rise to the threshold value for being arranged on ceiling temperature difference below TDlim by temperature difference when being fixed clamp-press part N2 in paper P When i.e. heating stops temperature difference, stop the heating of heater 74.In this case, it is not necessary to carry out supposition temperature difference Emulation.It should be noted that scrupulously saying, the detection temperature of temperature sensor 77,78 is all fixing with fixing clamp-press part N2 Actual temperature with 75 actual temperature and backer roll 71 is slightly different.It therefore, it can the detection to temperature sensor 77,78 Temperature be modified after temperature as fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 temperature and the temperature of backer roll 71.
Further, since making the heating of heater 74 temporarily stop during image A paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2 Only, so how much needing some times in the fixing temperature T1 for reaching normal mode.But, because the heating of heater 74 stops Only the time is not so long, so the production efficiency of image formation will not be greatly reduced.In other words, it can either remain high The production efficiency of image formation, can suppress paper P curling again.
In addition, being carried out during the image formation in first face of the temperature difference limitation control preferably in duplex printing.As it was previously stated, In duplex printing, by progress positive and negative upset after the paper P after fixing clamp-press part N2 to two-sided carrying path 60 Conveying.By overturning its positive and negative when carrying out the image formation in paper P the second face, the figure in its front-end and back-end and the first face It is opposite during as being formed.That is, one end as rear end is overturning positive and negative when carrying out the image formation in paper P the first face Turn into front end during the image formation for carrying out the second face afterwards.
When serious curling occurs for paper P front, its front end may be prevented from for example, by along two-sided carrying path The clamp-press part of the conveying roller of 60 configurations.Therefore, the curling of rear end side is serious during the image formation in the first face for carrying out paper P, this It is likely to result in occurring paperboard when carrying out the image formation in the second face after positive and negative is overturn.However, in duplex printing, utilizing Temperature difference limitation control, the curling of rear end side when suppressing the image formation for carrying out the first face, so as to not occurring paperboard The image for carrying out having overturn the paper P of positive and negative the second face well is formed.
On the other hand, the second face is carried out after being formed when only carrying out the image formation in the first face and in the image in the first face Image formation when, even in fixing clamp-press part N2, the rear end side of paper P conveying direction is crimped, the conveying after The middle frequency for occurring paperboard also will not be so high.It should be noted that when only carrying out the image formation in the first face and the Image simultaneously carries out the image formation in the second face after being formed when, temperature difference limitation control can also be carried out.Because can Suppress paper P curlings this point not change.In other words, this is due to the paper that can carry out completing image formation well Stackings of the P in paper delivery portion 55, and be because high-quality dress can be carried out using the multipage paper P for completing image formation Order.
In addition, ceiling temperature difference TDlim is preferably for example with the difference of used paper P species in image formation And different values.For example, thicker paper P its rigidity of thickness is stronger, the easier generation paperboard in the case where crimping.Cause This, the paper P thicker to thickness more wishes to reduce curling.Table 1 represents the energy in image processing system 1 according to paper P species It is enough that paper P curling is suppressed to the ceiling temperature difference TDlim for not occurring paperboard degree in conveying.
As shown in table 1, the thick paper P of thickness, preferably uses low value and suppresses to roll up as ceiling temperature difference TDlim It is bent.It should be noted that an example of the following table 1 for the image processing system 1 of the manner, such as according to different images Forming apparatus, can use the value of different temperature differences as ceiling temperature difference TDlim.

In addition, the ceiling temperature difference TDlim shown in above-mentioned table 1 can pass through bar during fixing clamp-press part N2 using paper P Part is modified.Because paper P rear end reaches the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 when being fixed clamp-press part N2 Different values is turned into by the condition difference being fixed during clamp-press part N2 according to paper P.For example, paper P rear end reaches fixed Length of the temperature difference of fixing band 75 during shadow clamp-press part N2 and backer roll 71 on paper P conveying direction is more short more turns into Small value.Because the length on paper P conveying direction is shorter, the heat that backer roll 71 is captured by whole paper P is fewer. Therefore, as paper P, it using the short paper of the length on its conveying direction, can be modified to ceiling temperature difference TDlim It is lower.Table 2 represents example of the length on the conveying direction according to paper P to the ceiling temperature difference TDlim correction values being modified Son.
[table 2]
Length [mm] of the paper in conveying direction Ceiling temperature difference Tdlim correction value [DEG C]

210≥ - 2
Also, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 and backer roll 71 is in the paper P is opened by the value more small when faster of speed when being fixed clamp-press part N2, and this is due to that paper P passes through when being fixed clamp-press part N2 When transporting velocity is faster, the heat that backer roll 71 is integrally taken away by paper P is fewer.Therefore, when paper P transporting velocity is faster, Ceiling temperature difference TDlim can be made to get over low land to be modified.Table 3 represents transporting velocity according to paper P, poor to ceiling temperature The example for the correction value that TDlim is modified.
[table 3]
Paper sheet delivery speed [mm/s] Ceiling temperature difference TDlim correction value [DEG C]

In addition, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 when paper P rear end reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 makes paper The rate of climb of heating-up temperature during opening P by being fixed clamp-press part N2 is smaller when slower.Because paper P front end is arrived The rear end of temperature and paper P up to the fixing band 75 during fixing clamp-press part N2 reaches the fixing band 75 when being fixed clamp-press part N2 The difference of temperature diminishes.In addition, the fixing temperature T1 of fixing temperature T2 and normal mode with low temperature mode poor smaller, paper Fixing band 75 when P rear end the reaches fixing clamp-press part N2 tendency smaller with the temperature difference of backer roll 71.Therefore, to upper limit temperature Spend difference TDlim, also can the rate of climb based on these fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P heating-up temperature, low temperature mode with leading to The difference of the heating-up temperature of norm formula is modified.
The degree of paper P curlings is influenceed by the temperature and humidity of environment certainly.It therefore, it can in image processing system The sensor of detection environment temperature and humidity is set in 1, and carries out ceiling temperature difference TDlim's using the detected value of the sensor Amendment.Therefore, fixing folder is passed through beforehand through the length on the above-mentioned paper P species of the acquisition such as experiment and conveying direction, paper P The conditions such as transporting velocity during splenium N2 and ceiling temperature difference TDlim relation, are stored the relation as the poor table of ceiling temperature In nonvolatile memory 5.Then, when image is formed, as ceiling temperature difference TDlim, this is met using basis The condition of image formation performs temperature difference limitation control with reference to the value that the poor table of ceiling temperature of nonvolatile memory 5 is determined Can.
[second method]
Second method is illustrated.In the manner, structure of image processing system 1 etc. and above-mentioned first method phase Together.In second method, the fixing control of intelligence is also carried out in the fixing processing of fixing processing unit 70.Thus, pass through in paper P During fixing clamp-press part N2, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of fixing clamp-press part N2 positions increases sometimes.Therefore, lead to It may cause the curling of paperboard degree seriously in conveying of the rear end side after for the paper P for having crossed fixing clamp-press part N2.
Therefore, in second method, also carry out for by the temperature of fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 Difference is suppressed to relatively low temperature difference limitation control, so that serious curling does not occur for the paper P for having passed through fixing clamp-press part N2. In second method, the temperature difference limitation controls different from first method are carried out.In detail, the temperature difference limitation control of the manner Carried out by the rate of climb of the fixing clamp-press part N2 of adjustment paper P heating-up temperature.
In the manner, first, in CPU4, the information based on the task before image formation task is performed, by imitative It is true to speculate that paper P passes through the fixing band 75 of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71.So Afterwards, in the case where the temperature difference speculated exceedes ceiling temperature difference TDlim, while temperature difference limitation control is carried out, while entering Row paper P fixing processing.In the temperature difference limitation control of the manner, while the heating of limitation heater 74, while making Fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P heating-up temperature rises.
Control is limited using Fig. 8 temperature differences for describing the manner in detail.In fig. 8, also illustrate that the i.e. image A's of black white image Paper P and coloured image are the temperature of the fixing processing unit 70 when image B paper P passes sequentially through fixing clamp-press part N2.In Fig. 8 In, when limiting control for carrying out the temperature difference of second method, represent that fixing band 75 is attached in fixing clamp-press part N2 with solid line Near temperature, is represented by dotted lines temperature of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2.
Also, the fixing band 75 when representing to limit control without temperature difference with double dot dash line is near fixing clamp-press part N2 Temperature.Temperature of the fixing band 75 represented with double dot dash line near fixing clamp-press part N2 is not limit adding for heater 74 It is fixed that paper P that is hot and making fixing clamp-press part N2 heating-up temperature is risen to most short heating-up time t3 (Fig. 4) from fixing temperature T2 Temperature during shadow temperature T1, that is to say, that temperature of the fixing band 75 represented with double dot dash line near fixing clamp-press part 75 be Temperature based on emulation.
In the manner, when beginning to pass through time Δ t from image A exposure, warm mode transfer formula is also switched from low temperature mode To normal mode.This is due to that the i.e. image A of black white image next image B is coloured image.Also, by by warm mode transfer formula Normal mode is switched to from low temperature mode, during image A paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2, fixing band 75 is fixed Temperature near shadow clamp-press part N2 rises.
Moreover, in the manner, as shown in figure 8, the fixing band 75 when having carried out temperature difference limitation control is in fixing cramping Temperature near portion N2, compared with representing with double dot dash line without temperature when carrying out temperature difference limitation control slowly on Rise.This be due to by temperature difference limit control, with emulation when compared with, limit the heating of heater 74.
Therefore, by the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2 when having carried out temperature difference limitation control Temperature difference TD5 is suppressed to lower than without the temperature difference TD3 carried out when temperature difference limitation is controlled.Also, as shown in figure 8, temperature difference TD5 is suppressed to be less than ceiling temperature difference TDlim.Therefore, in the manner, paper P rear end side can also do not occurred sternly Carry out to the curling of weight fixing processing.Block thereby, it is possible to suppress the paper P passed through after fixing clamp-press part N2 in conveying Paper.
[Third Way]
Third Way is illustrated.In the manner, structure of image processing system 1 etc. is also identical with aforesaid way. In Third Way, the fixing control of intelligence is also carried out in the fixing processing of fixing processing unit 70.Thus, it is fixed to pass through in paper P During shadow clamp-press part N2, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of fixing clamp-press part N2 positions increases sometimes.Therefore, pass through Fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P rear end side may cause the curling of paperboard degree seriously in the conveying after.
Therefore, in Third Way, carry out for by the temperature difference of fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 Relatively low temperature difference limitation control is suppressed to, so that serious curling does not occur for the paper P for having passed through fixing clamp-press part N2. In three modes, the temperature difference limitation controls different from aforesaid way are carried out.In detail, control is limited in the temperature difference of the manner In, make the opportunity switched from low temperature mode to normal mode earlier than aforesaid way.
In the manner, first, in CPU4, before image formation task is performed, the information based on the task, by imitative It is true to speculate that paper P passes through the fixing band 75 of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71. In the case that the temperature difference speculated exceedes ceiling temperature difference TDlim, while temperature difference limitation control is carried out, while carrying out paper P fixing processing.The temperature difference of the manner limits control while shifting to an earlier date the opportunity switched from low temperature mode to normal mode, and one While rising fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P heating-up temperature.
Control is limited using Fig. 9 temperature differences for explaining the manner.In fig .9, black white image i.e. image A is also illustrated that Paper P and coloured image be the fixing processing unit 70 when image B paper P passes sequentially through fixing clamp-press part N2 temperature. In Fig. 9, when limiting control for carrying out the temperature difference of Third Way, represent fixing band 75 in fixing clamp-press part N2 with solid line Neighbouring temperature, is represented by dotted lines temperature of the backer roll 71 near fixing clamp-press part N2.
Also, as shown in figure 9, in Third Way, when beginning to pass through time Δ t1 from image A exposure, temperature is adjusted Pattern is switched to normal mode from low temperature mode.In other words, in the manner, when Billy is shifted to an earlier date with the time Δ t illustrated by Fig. 4 Between α warm mode transfer formula is switched to normal mode from low temperature mode.Time α can be set as not enough time Δ t time.Time Δ T is the switching time for emulating middle temperature mode transfer formula.
In other words, in the temperature difference limitation control of the manner, warm mode transfer formula is made to switch to normal mode from low temperature mode Opportunity earlier than the opportunity in emulation.Thus, compared with aforesaid way, fixing band 75 can be made in fixing clamp-press part N2 temperature Fixing temperature T1 is risen in advance.Therefore, it is possible to make image A next image B paper P with the opportunity earlier than aforesaid way By being fixed clamp-press part N2.
By the way that warm mode transfer formula is switched into normal mode from low temperature mode, fixing clamp-press part N2 is passed through in image A paper P During, temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 rises.As shown in figure 9, the temperature difference in the manner is limited In control, paper P enters after fixing clamp-press part N2, stops heating dress before paper P rear end is by fixing clamp-press part N2 Put 74 heating.On the stopping of the heating of the heater 74, the explanation phase with Fig. 7 progress using above-mentioned first method Together, i.e., by temporarily ceasing the heating of heater 74, paper P rear end is reached to temperature difference during fixing clamp-press part N2 TD6 is suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature.It is fixed serious curling does not occur thereby, it is possible to paper P rear end side Processing, occurs paperboard so as to suppress the paper P passed through after fixing clamp-press part N2 in conveying.
Therefore, can be by the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 with adding in the temperature difference limitation control of the manner The temperature difference TD6 of pressure roller 71 is suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature, and improves the production efficiency of image formation.Above-mentioned In explanation, the heating of heater 74 is set to temporarily cease (Fig. 7) in the same manner as first method, so that temperature difference TD6 be suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature.But it is also possible to second method likewise by the heating (Fig. 8) for limiting heater 74, Temperature difference TD6 is suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature.
[fourth way]
Fourth way is illustrated.In the manner, structure of image processing system 1 etc. is identical with aforesaid way. In fourth way, the fixing control of intelligence is also carried out in the fixing processing of fixing processing unit 70.Thus, pass through in paper P fixing During clamp-press part N2, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of fixing clamp-press part N2 positions increases sometimes.Therefore, pass through Fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P rear end side may cause the curling of paperboard degree seriously in the conveying after.
Therefore, in fourth way, carry out for by the temperature difference of fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 Relatively low temperature difference limitation control is suppressed to, so that serious curling does not occur for the paper P for having passed through fixing clamp-press part N2. In four modes, the temperature difference limitation controls different from aforesaid way are carried out.In detail, the temperature difference limitation control of the manner is logical Adjustment paper P transporting velocity is crossed to carry out.
In the manner, first, in CPU4, before image formation task is performed, the information based on the task, by imitative It is true to speculate that paper P passes through the fixing band 75 of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71. In the case that the temperature difference speculated exceedes ceiling temperature difference TDlim, while temperature difference limitation control is carried out, while carrying out paper P fixing processing.In the temperature difference limitation control of the manner, the transporting velocity for making paper P reach before fixing clamp-press part N2 is slow In common transporting velocity.
Control is limited using Figure 10 temperature differences for explaining the manner.In Fig. 10, black white image i.e. figure is also illustrated that The temperature of fixing processing unit 70 when passing sequentially through fixing clamp-press part N2 as paper P that A paper P and coloured image are image B, And temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is represented with solid line, backer roll 71 is represented by dotted lines in fixing clamp-press part Temperature near N2.
Also, as shown in Figure 10, in fourth way, image A front end be later than by using Fig. 4 illustrate from image A Exposure start to reach fixing clamp-press part N2 when reaching fixing clamp-press part N2 time t1 to image A front end.Time t1 is imitative Reach fixing clamp-press part N2 time in very to image A front end since image A exposure.That is, making image A paper Open the opportunity that P is later than by fixing clamp-press part N2 opportunity in emulation.
Specifically, in fourth way, image A paper P rear end by fixing clamp-press part N2 before, make to be fixed Temperature with 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 reaches fixing temperature T1.Pass through the fixing clamp-press part N2 phases in image A paper P Between, the temperature for the fixing band 75 for reaching fixing temperature T1 is no longer increased, so that the temperature difference of fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 TD7 is smaller.Thus, temperature difference TD7 can be suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature in the manner.
During due to making image A paper be later than by being fixed clamp-press part N2 opportunity by time t1 in emulation, therefore In the manner, the transporting velocity for making paper P reach fixing clamp-press part N2 is slower than speed during emulation.Specifically, in image A Paper P front end reach secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 before, or after rear end is by secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1 front end is arrived Up to before fixing clamp-press part N2, image A paper P transporting velocity is switched to the conveying speed of transporting velocity when being slower than emulation Degree.This is due to that, in the case where making transporting velocity slack-off during paper P is by secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1, may turn Print in the image A on paper P and produce noise.I.e. it is capable to suitably carry out image A on one side to secondary transfer printing clamp-press part The transfer of paper P in N1, while temperature difference TD7 is suppressed into TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature.Therefore, in the manner, no The quality of formed image can be only ensured higher, and can be mitigated paper P curling and be suppressed to have passed through fixing folder Paperboard occurs in conveying for the paper P after splenium N2.It should be noted that can also the paper P for making image A transporting velocity After transporting velocity when being temporarily slower than emulation, reached in paper P front end before fixing clamp-press part N2, recover transporting velocity To transporting velocity during emulation.Or, can also before image A paper P front end is reached secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1, Or by secondary transfer printing clamp-press part N1, front end is reached before being fixed clamp-press part N2 for rear end, temporarily ceases paper P conveying.
[the 5th mode]
5th mode is illustrated.In the manner, structure of image processing system 1 etc. is identical with aforesaid way. In 5th mode, the fixing control of intelligence is also carried out in the fixing processing of fixing processing unit 70.Thus, pass through in paper P fixing During clamp-press part N2, the temperature difference of the fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 of fixing clamp-press part N2 positions increases sometimes.Therefore, pass through Fixing clamp-press part N2 paper P rear end side may cause the curling of paperboard degree seriously in the conveying after.
Therefore, in the 5th mode, also carry out for by the temperature of fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 Difference is suppressed to relatively low temperature difference limitation control, so that serious curling does not occur for the paper P for having passed through fixing clamp-press part N2. In 5th mode, the temperature difference limitation controls different from aforesaid way are carried out.In detail, the temperature difference limitation control of the manner Carried out by making the opportunity that low temperature mode switches to normal mode be later than aforesaid way.
In the manner, first, in CPU4, before image formation task is performed, the information based on the task, by imitative It is true to speculate that paper P passes through the fixing band 75 of the fixing clamp-press part N2 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71. In the case that the temperature difference speculated exceedes ceiling temperature difference TDlim, while temperature difference limitation control is carried out, while carrying out paper P fixing processing.The temperature difference limitation control of the manner by opportunity from low temperature mode to normal mode that make to switch from postpone come Carry out.
Control is limited using Figure 11 temperature differences for explaining the manner.In fig. 11, black white image i.e. figure is also illustrated that The temperature of fixing processing unit 70 when passing sequentially through fixing clamp-press part N2 as paper P that A paper P and coloured image are image B, And temperature of the fixing band 75 near fixing clamp-press part N2 is represented with solid line, backer roll 71 is represented by dotted lines in fixing clamp-press part Temperature near N2.
Also, as shown in figure 11, in the 5th mode, when beginning to pass through time Δ t2 from image A exposure, by temperature tune Pattern is switched to normal mode from low temperature mode.That is, in the manner, Δ t delay time time that Billy is illustrated with Fig. 4 Warm mode transfer formula is switched to normal mode by β from low temperature mode.Time Δ t is the switching time of the warm mode transfer formula in emulation.That is, exist In the temperature difference limitation control of the manner, the opportunity for making warm mode transfer formula switch from low temperature mode to normal mode is later than in emulation Opportunity.
Also, as shown in figure 11, in the 5th mode, during image A paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2, temperature is adjusted Pattern is low temperature mode.Therefore, during image A paper P is by fixing clamp-press part N2, fixing band 75 is in fixing cramping Temperature near portion N2 is maintained certain with fixing temperature T2.
Fixing temperature is maintained by making image A paper P by the temperature of the fixing band 75 during being fixed clamp-press part N2 T2, the temperature difference TD8 for being fixed clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 is smaller.Therefore, in the manner, temperature difference TD8 It is suppressed to be less than ceiling temperature difference TDlim.Also, image A paper P rear end by fixing clamp-press part N2 after, pass through Normal mode is switched to, the temperature of fixing band 75 is risen to fixing temperature T1.It should be noted that the switching of warm mode transfer formula can To be carried out before fixing clamp-press part N2 is reached in image A paper P rear end.In this case, with temperature difference TD8 no more than upper Limit temperature difference TDlim is that condition obtains time Δ t2.
[the 6th mode]
6th mode is illustrated.In the manner, structure of image processing system 1 etc. is also identical with aforesaid way. In the 6th mode, the fixing control of intelligence is also carried out in the fixing processing of fixing processing unit 70.Thus, it is fixed to pass through in paper P During shadow clamp-press part N2, the fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 of position increases sometimes with the temperature difference of backer roll 71.Therefore, lead to It may cause the curling of paperboard degree seriously in conveying of the rear end side after for the paper P for having crossed fixing clamp-press part N2.
Therefore, in the 6th mode, also carry out for by the temperature of fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and backer roll 71 Degree difference is suppressed to relatively low temperature difference limitation control, so that serious curling does not occur for the paper P for having passed through fixing clamp-press part N2. It is different from aforesaid way in the 6th mode, the formation order of image when being formed continuously multiple images is switched while entering Trip temperature difference limitation control.
In the manner, illustrate image A as shown in Figure 4, image B, the situation of tri- image formation of image C.In we In formula, similarly image A and image C are that black white image, image B are coloured image.Therefore, it is right by the fixing control of intelligence Image A and image C paper P carries out fixing processing with the fixing temperature T2 of low temperature mode, to image B paper P with usual mould The fixing temperature T1 of formula carries out fixing processing.
In this case, as shown in figure 4, generally also sending print command according to image A, image B, image C order. That is, under normal conditions, forming image A on paper P1 the first face, two-sided carrying path 60 being passed through in paper P1 Period, image B is formed on paper P the first face, after image B is formed, image C is formed on paper P1 the second face.
But, in the manner, the image before the image of the print command is further contemplated during the print command for generating image Relevant temperature adjusts pattern information.Next, it is determined whether switching next figure of the image and the image that send generation print command The order of the print command of picture is formed to carry out image.
In this regard, the situation during generation of explanation image B print command.First, in the feelings for the print command for generating image B Under condition, whether the fixing temperature under the warm mode transfer formula of the image C after image A and image B before judging image B below schemes Fixing temperature under picture B warm mode transfer formula.The situation of image B fixing temperature is below in image A and image C fixing temperature Under, whether judge image B is the image to be formed on paper P the first face.Further, if image B is in paper P The image to be formed on first face, then judge image C whether be to the paper P for foring image on the first face second The face image to be formed.Then, if image C is the second face image to be formed to paper P, image B and image C are switched Order, after image C is formed, carry out image B formation.Then, in image C fixing processing, due to image B temperature The fixing temperature under warm mode transfer formula of the fixing temperature higher than image C under mode transfer formula, therefore carry out temperature difference limitation control.
Then, using Figure 12, specifically describe formed respectively on same paper P the first face and the second face image A and Image C, the situation for forming on the paper P different from image A and image C the first face image B.Here, with formed image A and Image C paper P is paper P1.That is, image A is formed on paper P1 the first face, on paper P1 the second face Form image C.Image B is formed on the paper P2 different from paper P1 the first face.
Firstly, for image A, beaten due to being the image originally formed, therefore according to the generation of image A and image B information Print instruction.In image A print command, image B is normal mode, and image A is low temperature mode.Therefore, as shown in figure 12, exist When beginning to pass through time Δ t from image A exposure, warm mode transfer formula is switched to normal mode from low temperature mode.Then, in the first face On when carrying image A paper P1 by fixing clamp-press part N2, enter to exercise heating dress in the same manner as Fig. 7 of above-mentioned first method Put the temperature difference limitation control that 74 heating stops.Therefore, image A paper P1 rear end is carried on the first face fixing Clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 is suppressed to TDlim poor less than ceiling temperature with the temperature difference TD9 of backer roll 71.Pass through fixing cramping Portion N2 and form image A paper P1 on the first face after positive and negative upset, conveyed to two-sided carrying path 60.Also, Image A paper P1 is formd on the first face by being fixed after clamp-press part N2, makes the heating of heater 74 stopped Restart.
Then, image B print command is generated according to image A, image B, image C information.Here, because image B it The warm mode transfer formula of image C after preceding image A and image B is all low temperature mode, therefore the fixing temperature of these images is all Than the low fixing temperature T2 of fixing temperature T1 that normal mode is image B.In addition, image B be will to paper P2 the first face shape Into image.In addition, image C is to be formed to the paper P1 for the formation for having carried out image A on the first face the second face Image.Therefore, it is judged as switching image B and image C order, image C is formed before image B.
Then, in image C print command, the image B after sequentially being switched is normal mode, and its fixing temperature T1 is high In the image C of low temperature mode fixing temperature T2.Therefore, as shown in figure 12, the paper P1 that image C is carried on the second surface leads to When crossing fixing clamp-press part N2, enter to exercise the temperature difference that the heating of heater 74 stops in the same manner as Fig. 7 of above-mentioned first method Limitation control.Therefore, the rear end that image C paper P1 is carried on the second surface is being fixed clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 with adding The temperature difference TD10 of pressure roller 71 is suppressed to be less than ceiling temperature difference TDlim.Also, form image C paper in the second face After P1 is by fixing clamp-press part N2, restart the heating of the heater 74 stopped.Then, in fixing clamp-press part N2 Fixing band 75 reach after the fixing temperature T1 of normal mode, make to carry on the first face image B paper P2 pass through it is fixing Clamp-press part N2.
Therefore, in the manner, the curling for the paper P1 that image A and image C is formed on two-sided can be reduced and suppressed The generation of paperboard, and image B can be carried out well to the fixing processing in paper P2 the first face.It should be noted that In the manner, to switching the formation order of image and the feelings that temperature difference limitation is controlled being carried out in the same manner as first method (Fig. 7) Condition is illustrated.It is however not limited to first method, can also carry out with it is any in the second to the 5th mode (Fig. 8~Figure 11) The same temperature difference limitation control of mode.
As illustrated in detail above, the fixing control of intelligence is carried out in the image processing system 1 of aforesaid way System.Also, while the fixing control of intelligence is carried out, while performing the temperature difference limitation control for carrying out image formation so that paper P leads to Fixing clamp-press part N2 fixing band 75 and the temperature difference of backer roll 71 during crossing fixing clamp-press part N2 is poor no more than ceiling temperature TDlim.Thus, the power consumption in fixing processing is reduced, and the generation of curling can be suppressed.
The expression of explanation is needed, present embodiment is to illustrate, rather than limitation of the present invention.Therefore, the present invention is aobvious Various improvement, deformation can be so carried out in the range of its purport is not departed from.For example, the invention is not restricted to color printer, It is applicable to duplicator etc..Also, for example image processing system 1 can also be illustrated by the above-mentioned first to the 5th mode not It is excellent from the viewpoint of the production efficiency and the power consumption of fixing processing unit 70 that are formed from image in same temperature difference limitation control Select temperature difference limitation control and carry out.Also, for example in intelligently fixing control, warm mode transfer formula is not limited to normal mode and low temperature Pattern, can also set the high pattern of fixing temperature and the low mould of fixing temperature compared with low temperature mode compared with normal mode Formula.
