Title:
画像形成装置、プログラム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7435260
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor controls a transporter that transports a sheet and a first image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter. The second processor controls a second image forming section that forms an image on the sheet transported by the transporter. When the first processor and the second processor receive a single image formation command from an external source, the first processor transmits a preparation command for performing image formation preparation in the second image forming section to the second processor, the second processor, when receiving the preparation command, performs the image formation preparation in the second image forming section and transmits a completion notification to the first processor upon completion of the image formation preparation, and the first processor, after receiving the completion notification, subsequently executes an image forming process including causing the transporter to transport the sheet and causing the first image forming section to form the image. If the first processor receives multiple image formation commands from the external source before transmitting the preparation command to the second processor, the first processor transmits multiple preparation commands corresponding to the multiple image formation commands to the second processor and executes the image forming process in a sequence in which multiple completion notifications corresponding to the multiple preparation commands are received from the second processor.
