摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a body housing, a protruding housing, a light diffusing portion, a light source, a light guide path, and a control unit. The image forming section performs image formation on a sheet. The body housing is formed by a box body with a top surface, and contains the image forming section. The protruding housing is located on the top surface, and has a top portion protruding upwardly above the top surface. The light diffusing portion is located in or near the top portion of the protruding housing. The light source is located inside the body housing or the protruding housing, and emits light. The light guide path guides light emitted by the light source to the light diffusing portion. The control unit controls illumination of the light source based on the information related to the image formation.

An image forming apparatus includes a recording material feeding portion; an image forming portion configured to form an image with a liquid developer containing toner and an ultraviolet curable agent; an ultraviolet irradiating portion; a heating portion configured to heat the recording material on a feeding path of the recording material from a recording material feeding position where the recording material feeding portion feeds the recording material to an ultraviolet irradiation position where the image is irradiated with the ultraviolet radiation by the ultraviolet irradiating portion; a detecting portion configured to detect a temperature of the recording material; and a controller configured to control an output of the heating portion depending on the temperature of the recording material detected by the detecting portion so that the temperature of the recording material is within a target temperature range.

A toner cartridge (12) for a printer (10) has a housing (14) that includes interior regions defining an upper chamber (68) to hold fresh toner and a lower chamber (66) to hold fresh toner; and an exterior region defining a wedge shaped opening (64) between the upper chamber and the lower chamber, the wedge shaped opening expanding laterally in a direction parallel to an axial length of a photoconductor (16) when the cartridge is installed in a printer from a narrower part at a front of the housing to a broader part at a rear of the housing, to allow imaging light to pass between the chambers from a light source to the photoconductor when the cartridge is installed in the printer.
摘要:
In an electrophotographic image forming apparatus employing a contact development system, contact of a development roller 64 against a photosensitive drum 61 is started while forming an electrostatic latent image of a detection pattern 81 for detection in each individual apparatus, and a developed toner image is detected at a predetermined position. At this time, a time as from the time when contact of the development roller 64 was started until the time when the toner image was detected is measured, and a delay time Xs from a time (t11) when contact operation of the development roller 64 was started until a time (t131) of actual contact is calculated by subtracting the time needed until the developed toner image reaches the detection position. The time when contact of the development roller 64 is started is delayed by this time. The same sort of control is also performed for the separation time.

Provided is an image-forming apparatus (100) that prevents a drop in processing speed even when a preceding job is interrupted by a simple job (interrupt job). The image-forming apparatus (100) includes a printer unit (120) that prints on paper, a first transporting path (150a) that passes by the printer unit (120), a second transporting path (150b) that path branches off from the first transporting path (150a) and moves paper that has been turned over from front to back further upstream than the printer unit (120), a storage unit (185, 174) that stores a condition table (200) indicates conditions for which a preceding job can be interrupted by an interrupt job, and a system-control unit (192) that references the condition table (200), and when the preceding job can be interrupted, sets a printing order so that printing of the interrupt job is inserted into the printing order of the preceding job.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a body housing, a protruding housing, a light diffusing portion, a light source, a light guide path, and a control unit. The image forming section performs image formation on a sheet. The body housing is formed by a box body with a top surface, and contains the image forming section. The protruding housing is located on the top surface, and has a top portion protruding upwardly above the top surface. The light diffusing portion is located in or near the top portion of the protruding housing. The light source is located inside the body housing or the protruding housing, and emits light. The light guide path guides light emitted by the light source to the light diffusing portion. The control unit controls illumination of the light source based on the information related to the image formation.
