摘要： A recording medium discharging apparatus which can be mounted on top of the image forming apparatus includes a plurality of recording medium storers and a locking mechanism for locking the discharging apparatus to the image forming apparatus when the discharging apparatus is mounted on the image forming apparatus. The locking mechanism includes a release lever for unlocking the discharging apparatus by being manipulated to shift in the same direction as the discharging apparatus moves away from the image forming apparatus to be dismounted from it. The locking mechanism prevents the discharging apparatus from falling off the image forming apparatus even if external force is applied to the discharging apparatus mounted on the image forming apparatus. The release lever for unlocking the discharging apparatus makes it easy to dismount the discharging apparatus from the image forming apparatus.

摘要： An image forming apparatus, such as a printer, may have a horizontally-loaded drawer containing, for example, a toner cartridge or an image forming unit having toner. The apparatus may have an opening through which the drawer is inserted, and a cover over the opening. The cover may include two or more protrusions to assist in forcing the drawer into place as the cover is closed. The cover may include a first protrusion that is closer to the cover's hinge, and a second that is farther from the hinge than the first. The first protrusion may also be longer, extending further from the cover, than the second, so that during the closing operation, the first protrusion makes contact with the drawer before the second. The points of contact on the drawer may be angled and/or curved such that the force exerted by the protrusions directs the drawer horizontally and, if desired, downwardly towards an operating position. A protrusion may be aligned such that, when the cover is in the closed position, the protrusion is offset from a point of contact on the drawer, and exerts no horizontal force on the drawer.

摘要： A laser printer for forming toner images on sheets includes a duct wall and a shutter. The duct wall extends between a process cartridge, which is filled with toner, and a thermal fixing unit, which generates heat to fix toner images onto the sheets. The duct wall defines a duct and is formed with openings at its side that faces the thermal fixing unit. A fan is provided for drawing hot air from the thermal fixing unit, through the openings in the duct wall and the duct itself, and out from the laser printer. The shutter moves in and out of contact with the process cartridge in association with opening and closing movement of a cover of the laser printer. When the shutter is in contact with the process cartridge, an exhaust chamber is formed that connects an ozone exhaust hole of the process cartridge with the duct. Another fan is provided for drawing the ozone generated by a charge unit of the process cartridge through the ozone exhaust hole, the exhaust chamber, and the duct.
