Method and apparatus for recording images based on measured vibration
View Patent ↗An image recording device includes a sub-scanning/conveyance device for sub-scanning and conveying an image recording material. An acceleration pickup for measuring acceleration of the sub-scanning/conveyance device is mounted to the sub-scanning/conveyance device and connected to a control section. When the acceleration pickup detects acceleration equal to or greater than a predetermined value, an alarm is turned on via a bus to signal a frame number of the image recording material exposed when vibration equal to or greater than a predetermined value has occurred. Image data of the corresponding image number detected by a hole sensor is inputted from an image processor to an image data storage device and stored therein. When a predetermined exposure ends, the stored image data is transmitted from the image data storage device to a light beam scanning device, and the image recording material is re-exposed in accordance with the image data.
