The image forming apparatus comprises: mode instructing means for instructing sort mode and so on, paper supplying means (3) for supplying paper, and non-sort mode instructing means (11) for producing a signal to set the image forming apparatus at a non-sort mode on the basis of a transparent paper switch (8) which produces a signal with regard to a transparent paper.
摘要:
An opening (31) for discharging toner is formed in a lower part of a cartridge body (4) containing toner. A shutter mounting body (34) is mounted on the opening (31). A first shutter (1) is slidably mounted on the shutter mounting body (34). A second shutter (2) is slidably mounted on the first shutter (1). A front end of a sealing member (3) for sealing the opening (31) is extended, the extended front end being inserted through a seal traction opening (52) formed in a front end of the second shutter (2), and fixed to a front end of the first shutter(1). When the second shutter (2) is pulled out of the shutter mounting body (34), the sealing member (3) is towed by the seal traction opening (52). In addition, the first shutter (1) is further towed by the sealing member (3), to be also pulled out. Consequently, nearly half of the sealing member (3) from its front end is stripped. When the second shutter (2) is further pulled out after the movement of the first shutter (1) is regulated, the seal traction opening (52) in the second shutter (2) tows the sealing member (3) while allowing the insertion of the sealing member (3). At this time, the sealing member (3) is stripped while being so folded that a toner adhering surface is located in its inside. In this construction, the stroke for stripping is decreased, thereby to make it possible to prevent contamination by toner as well as prevent a large part of the sealing member (3) from being ineffective.

摘要:
It is a major object of the present invention to break down and level a heap-up of toner built in the hopper (3) through dropping from the cartridge when feeding toner into the hopper (3) and to prevent toner from leakage from the cartridge due to erroneous operation with a remarkably simple and cheap construction. Namely, the leveling member (29) moves a plurality of number of times in line with engaging and disengaging operation of the cartridge for the hopper (3) and opening and closing operation of the cartridge in the same direction of the shutter, thereby causing a heap-up of toner built in the hopper housing of the hopper to be effectively broken down and leveled. Furthermore, only when the shutter is in its closed status for the cartridge, the cartridge can be removed from the opening of the hopper (3).

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising:
mode instructing means (201) for instructing various kinds of copy modes such as a both sided copy mode, a cover copy mode, a sorter (204) for sorting a copied paper, judging means (202) for judging whether said instructed mode from said mode instructing means (201) is such mode necessitating a sort mode of said sorter (204) or not, and sort instructing means (203) for making control of said sorter (204) at sort mode on the basis of said judging of said judging means (202).
摘要:
The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising: paper size detecting means (301, 302) for detecting size and direction of an OHP paper supplied from an instructed first paper supplying means, paper supplying means selection means (303) for selecting a second paper supplying means in which a paper cassette is set, said cassette having a paper of the same size and same direction as the size and direction detected by said paper size detecting means, and copying means for copying at least said OHP paper, by alternately supplying said OHP paper and said paper from said first paper supplying means and said second paper supplying means.
