摘要:
An image forming apparatus (1, 1, 1") includes multiple image forming units (20Y, 20C, 20M) disposed adjacent to and horizontally aligned with each other, a first transfer member (15) to sequentially transfer and overlay respective single non-black color images thereon, a black image forming unit (20K, 20K', 20K") disposed separately from the multiple image forming units (20Y, 20C, 20M) including a black image carrier (2K) and a black image developing unit (4K, 4K'), a second transfer member (12) to transfer the black image from the black image forming unit (20K, 20K', 20K") onto a recording medium, a first cleaning unit (5K) to clean the black image carrier (2K), and a second cleaning unit (13) to clean the second transfer member (12). The black toner removed from the surface of the black image carrier (2K) is collected to the black image developing unit (4K, 4K').

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to perform printing and an initializing process, a casing formed with an opening and accommodating the image forming unit, a cover configured to open and close the opening, a detecting unit configured to detect whether the cover is in an opened state or a closed state, a measuring unit configured to measure an opening degree of the cover in the opened state, and a controller configured to control, when the detecting unit detects that the cover is changed from the closed state to the open sate and returned to the closed state, an initializing process of the image forming unit according to the opening degree of the cover in the opened state.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including: an image carrying member supported in a body housing and forming a visible image by a developing agent; a transfer unit including a driving roller supported in the body housing and an intermediate transfer belt rotated by the driving roller in a first direction on which the visible image on the image carrying member is intermediately transferred to when a printing process is conducted on a recording medium; a cleaning blade in contact with the intermediate transfer belt to clean a remaining developing agent on the intermediate transfer belt rotating in the first direction; the intermediate transfer belt being rotated in an opposite direction to the first direction, for a preset period of time before the visible image is intermediately transferred and rotating the intermediate transfer belt in the first direction so that the visible image is intermediately transferred when the printing process starts.

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes: a carrier; a forming unit which forms an image on a carrier; a cleaning unit which cleans the carrier; a detection unit which detects a correction pattern formed on the carrier; and a control unit which performs a correction processing including cleaning a pattern forming region in the carrier by the cleaning unit, forming the correction pattern in the pattern forming region by the forming unit after finishing the cleaning by the cleaning unit, and correcting an image forming characteristic of the forming unit based on a detection result of the correction pattern by the detection unit.

The belt transporting apparatus is provided with: a belt member (21) that is rotated; a first roll member (22) that holds the belt member; a second roll member (26) that is provided apart from the first roll member (22) by a first distance (L1), holds the belt member together with the first roll member and is moved toward the first roll member; and a third roll member (25) that is provided apart from the second roll member by a second distance (L2) and holds the belt member together with the second roll member. The second distance (L2) is longer than the first distance (L1).
