Abstract:
Type and moisture content of a sheet of paper are determined with high accuracy for controlling an image forming condition, accordingly. A coping machine includes a transmitted-light measuring unit, a reflected-light measuring unit, a type determination unit configured to determine a type of a sheet of paper, a moisture content calculation unit configured to calculate a moisture content of the sheet of paper, based on the type of the sheet of paper determined by the type determination unit and the intensity of the light measured by the reflected-light measuring unit, and an image forming condition setting unit configured to set an image forming condition for the sheet of paper.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a paper feed cassette configured to contain the sheet of paper; a take-out roller configured to take out the sheet of paper from the paper feed cassette; and a holding roller configured to temporarily hold the sheet of paper on a conveyance path before a transfer process is performed on the sheet of paper, wherein the measuring unit includes a first measuring unit and a second measuring unit, the first measuring unit is configured to measure the sheet of paper taken out from the paper feed cassette by the take-out roller and temporarily held by the take-out roller, the second measuring unit is configured to measure the sheet of paper held by the holding roller, and in a case that a plurality of image formation operations are performed on an identical sheet of paper, the setting unit is configured to: determine the type of the sheet of paper and calculate the moisture content, based on the intensity of the light measured by the first measuring unit, in a first image formation operation of the plurality of image formation operations, and determine the type of the sheet of paper, based on the intensity of the light measured by the first measuring unit and calculate the moisture content of the sheet of paper, based on the intensity of the light measured by the second measuring unit, in a second image formation operation of the plurality of image formation operations.
