摘要:
A developing device includes an agitator (540) rotated in a toner hopper (410). The agitator (540) has a rod portion (512). A first coil spring (542) portion is wound around the first portion (514) of the rod portion in a first direction (A). A second coil spring portion (544) is wound around the second portion (516) of the rod portion in a second direction (B). The first direction (A) is opposite to the second direction (B). The surface of a detector (50) for detecting the presence of toner in the hopper is swept by the agitator (540).

A developing device used in an electrophotographic apparatus has seal members (60) fixedly disposed between both end portions of a developing roller (31) and those portions of inner walls of a device casing (21) which correspond to both end portions of the developing roller (31). The seal members (60) are made of a material which can be charged by friction with the developing roller (31) to have the same polarity as charged toner. The toner is blocked by the seal members (60) and prevented from entering end portions of the developing roller (31).
摘要:
A toner pack for use in an electrophotographic apparatus is formed of a polypropylene resin containing 30 to 50 wt% calcium carbonate filler. This resin has a high deformability, and generates a small amount of heat at the time of incineration thereof. Thus, the used toner pack can be disposed of together with flammable products made of paper and/or wood. Further, at the time of disposal, it is possible to fold the used toner pack to reduce its size.

摘要:
A printer has a shift register (4), an emission-time setting section (5), a laser diode (62), and a drive section (67). The register (4) supplies the emission-time setting section (5) with bits representing consecutive pixels including at least one black pixel. The emission-time setting section (5) determines the period of time during which the drive section (67) is to drive the laser diode (62), from the pixel patterns represented by the bits supplied from the register (4), and outputs an emission-time signal which represents said period of time. In response to the emission-time signal, the drive section (67) drives the laser diode (62) for the period of time, whereby a black pixel of a desired size is formed on a printing medium.
