The phase difference determining unit determines a phase difference between the clock signal corresponding to the first face and the clock signal corresponding to the second face in response to a frequency difference and a sign thereof between the clock signal corresponding to the first face and the clock signal corresponding to the second face. The change control unit changes from the clock signal corresponding to the first face to the clock signal corresponding to the second face."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Image forming apparatus and control method thereof","description":"A frequency adjusting unit adjusts a frequency of the clock signal to be supplied to a drive unit when an image is to be formed on the second face in response to a contraction ratio of the printing ma","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-8508568","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
