<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep a constant printing speed for printing by providing a paper feed instruction controller on the paper feeder side, using the distance information between an image print section and the paper feeder as control data, and feeding sheets of transfer paper to the device at constant intervals. SOLUTION: A paper feed instruction controller 402 uses the distance information between an image print section 102 and a paper feeder 4 as control data and sends paper feed requests to a paper feeder controller 401 for the paper feed timing of transfer paper to keep a constant printing speed in a main body device 1, and it is provided on the paper feeder 4. A paper feed start request is sent from an image print section 10 to the paper feeder controller 401 by the input of the image data generated by an image forming section 101, and the paper feeder controller 401 feeds the first transfer paper. The paper feed instruction controller 402 sends paper feed requests of transfer paper to the image print section 401 to feed the second and subsequent sheets of transfer paper at the timing for keeping a constant printing speed, i.e., a constant paper feed interval.</p> |
