<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of positional detection using radio waves, in which soil causes erroneous detection and installation is restricted. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus detects the position or home position of a rotor by communication between a communicating device attached to the rotor and a communicating device attached to a main body. Its principle is as follows: radio waves transmitted from a transmitter are detected by a receiver and, based upon the magnitude of the radio waves, the position of the rotor is detected. This solves the problems of the positional detection using radio waves, in which soil causes erroneous detection and installation is restricted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
