IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMATION METHOD

摘要

An image formation apparatus includes: an image formation unit that forms an image on continuous paper; a paper conveyance unit that conveys the paper through a conveyance path; a deviation correction unit that corrects deviation of the continuous paper by moving the paper on the conveyance path in a paper feed intersecting direction; a paper position measurement unit that measures a paper position in the paper feed intersecting direction of the paper on the conveyance path; and a control unit that controls the image formation unit and the deviation correction unit, wherein during stop of a conveyance operation, the control unit moves the paper to a predetermined position in the paper feed intersecting direction by deviation correction by the deviation correction unit, and during the conveyance operation, the control unit decides an image formation position in a main scanning direction in the image formation.

1. An image formation apparatus comprising:
an image formation unit that forms an image on continuous paper; a paper conveyance unit that conveys the continuous paper through a conveyance path; a deviation correction unit that corrects deviation of the continuous paper by moving the continuous paper on the conveyance path in a paper feed intersecting direction; a paper position measurement unit that measures a paper position in the paper feed intersecting direction of the continuous paper on the conveyance path; and a control unit that controls the image formation unit and the deviation correction unit, wherein during stop of a conveyance operation of the paper conveyance unit, the control unit receives a measurement result from the paper position measurement unit and moves the paper to a predetermined position in the paper feed intersecting direction by deviation correction by the deviation correction unit based on the measurement result, and during the conveyance operation of the paper conveyance unit, the control unit receives the measurement result from the paper position measurement unit and decides an image formation position in a main scanning direction in the image formation based on the measurement result.
