摘要:
The electrostatic copying apparatus according to the invention comprises a document placing means being reciprocally mounted and having a transparent plate for placing a document thereon, a driving source, a power transmission mechanism including a cluth means for normal motion and a clutch means for reverse motion for drivingly coupling the driving source to the document placing means, a driving amount detecting means for detecting the amount of rotation of a rotating element adapted to be rotated when the driving source is energized , and a control means for actuating the clutch means for normal motion to move the document placing means for scanning exposure in a predetermined direction from a predetermined start-of-scan position in a copying cycle, and renders the clutch means for normal motion and simultaneously with it or after it, actuates the clutch means for reverse motion to move the document placing means in the reverse direction. Said control means (250) renders the clutch means (174) for reverse motion inoperative, and thereby stops the document placing means (48) at a predetermined stop position, when the amount of rotation of the rotating element (510) during the scanning exposure movement of the document placing means (48) is in a predetermined relation to the amount of rotation of the rotating element (510) after the starting of the returning movement of the document placing means (48).

The electrostatic copying apparatus according to the invention has a fixing device comprising a fixing roller pair composed of an upper (136) and a lower roller (138) cooperating with each other and a guide member (408) disposed upstream of the fixing roller pair. Said guide member (408) has a guide portion (412, 416) extending downstream with its downstream end located in proximity to the peripheral surface of the upper roller pair. The upper surface of the guide portion is adapted to guide a sheet material having on its surface a toner image to be fixed to the fixing roller pair. A specified area (412) having a predetermined width of the guide portion is formed of a flexible material having its upstream end fixed, and the other area of the guide portion is formed of a rigid material.

A fixing device (10) provided with a fixing unit (140) provided with a heat source (14) for fixing a toner image on paper in a state out of contact with the paper, and a contact prevention unit (11,26) for preventing contact of the fixing unit and the paper. When a jam of recording paper (112) is detected, a fan (26) and an air intake device (34), which are contact prevention units, are driven. Air sent from a fixing device direction is blown to a recording surface side of the recording paper (112), and a rear surface side of the recording paper (112) is drawn to a side plate (28) side by air intaken to an air intake device direction. Thereby, the recording paper (112) divides from a cover glass (16), and adhesion of toner (T) on the cover glass (16) is prevented.

Disclosed are a method of preventing overheating of a fuser assembly (100) and an apparatus using the same. The method of preventing overheating of a fuser assembly includes inspecting whether a temperature of a fuser assembly (100) is higher than a predetermined temperature. If the temperature of the fuser assembly (100) is higher than the predetermined temperature it is determined whether there is a print command. A print sheet is passed through the fuser assembly, and conveyed to a predetermined location. The temperature is again inspected if there is no print command. If the temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature it is determined whether a predetermined time has lapsed. The temperature is again inspected if the predetermined time did not lapse.

A double-sided printing apparatus for printing on both surfaces of a recording medium comprises a first image-forming unit 3 for forming the toner image on one surface of the recording medium, a second image-forming unit 4, provided downstream of the first image-forming unit 3, for forming a toner image on the other surface of the recording medium, a first flash fixing unit 50 for fixing the toner image on the first surface of the recording medium and a second flash fixing unit 51, provided downstream of the first fixing unit, for fixing the toner image on the other surface of the recording medium. An intermediate member 71 is provided between the first fixing unit and the second image-forming unit. This intermediate member may be a shielding member for preventing the light from the first fixing unit from reaching a photo-sensitive body of the second image-forming unit 4, and/or a guide member for guiding the recording medium; in the latter case a charger 40 for charging the recording medium P to prevent offset of the as yet unfixed image onto the guide member may also be provided.
摘要:
In a conveyance path made up of guide plates which guide a copy sheet to the transfer region between the photoreceptor and the opposing transfer device and a second guide plate for conveying the copy sheet to the fixing rollers, the guide plates and the fixing rollers including the pre-fixing guide, which all will be in contact with copy sheets, are grounded via a common resistor having a high resistance. An adjuster resistor is interposed in series between the common resistor and the guide plates positioned before transfer which are closer from the transfer region compared to the fixing rollers. When a copy sheet resides across the transfer region with both sides in contact with the guide plates and fixing rollers or with one side in contact, the total current that flows during a transfer operation is practically determined by the common resistor which has a high resistance. Accordingly, the flowing current can be limited within a certain range, thus it is possible to stabilize the transfer potential and hence to achieve a stabilized transfer operation.
