IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, IMAGE-FORMATION COMMANDING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a transport unit, an image forming unit, a detecting unit, a measuring unit, and a changing unit. The transport unit transports continuous paper. The image forming unit forms an image onto the continuous paper transported by the transport unit. The detecting unit transmits a detection signal every time the number of times a pulse signal, which is generated when the transport unit transports the continuous paper, is detected reaches a predetermined reference value. The measuring unit measures an amount of the continuous paper transported by the transport unit based on the detection signal from the detecting unit. The changing unit changes the reference value of the detecting unit in accordance with a transporting speed at which the continuous paper is transported by the transport unit.
