Provided is an operation panel using a touch panel method disposed on an image forming apparatus, wherein a CPU judges whether the same coordinate of an input section is in a pressurization when the operation panel is turned on and whether the first time period has elapsed while the above pressurization continues at the same coordinate, makes a display section to display a massage that the input section is unusable and a message to prompt a user to switch the input section to a substitution device, judges whether the pressurization continues after the second time period and the first time period have elapsed and makes the display section to display a warning to indicate that a malfunction occurs at the input section of the operation panel in case the input section is judged to be in the pressurization after the second time period elapsed.

Provided is an image forming apparatus which enables quick removal of remaining sheets in the image forming apparatus via an orthogonal reverse section in case a jam occurs inside the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a main conveyance section to convey a sheet in the image forming apparatus and to convey the sheet to an ejected sheet section; an orthogonal reverse section to receive the sheet from the main conveyance section and turn over the sheet without swapping a front edge for a rear edge of the sheet by conveying the sheet in a direction perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction of the main conveyance section and a sheet ejection section to eject the sheet in the orthogonal reverse section outside the orthogonal reverse section along a direction to turn over the sheet by the orthogonal reverse section.

Provided is an image forming apparatus having a first sheet dimension sensor at a conveyance path in a reverse conveyance section 50, wherein the first sheet detection sensor 75 detects a front edge and a rear edge of the sheet P in a sheet conveyance direction so as to detect a first sheet dimension. According to the above configuration, since only a sensor has to be disposed at the conveyance path in the reverse conveyance section 50 so as to detect the sheet dimension in the sheet conveyance direction, a first sheet dimension can be detected by an economical sensor configuration.

Disclosed is a fixing device, which makes it possible to prevent the air blasting section from deterioration, caused by heat transferred from the duct to the air blasting section. The fixing device includes a fixing section to fix the toner image onto the paper sheet; a heat source; and a separating section to separate the paper sheet from the pair of fixing members. On the other hand, the separating section includes: a gas blasting section to blast a gas; and a duct to guide the gas towards the pair of fixing members, and that is provided with a duct wall serving as a heat receiving surface to receive radiation heat irradiated from the fixing section, and at least one of the gas blasting section and the duct is provided with such a connection structure that suppresses heat transferring action from the duct to the gas blasting section.

An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device having a heater, a signal generator for generating a prescribed cyclic signal in conformity with a waveform of an AC power supply applied to the heater, and a controller for controlling power feed to the heater. The controller determines whether a cycle of the prescribed cyclic signal becomes shorter than a prescribed period or not. When the controller has determined that the cycle has become shorter than the prescribed period, the controller controls power feed to the heater under phase control and when the controller has determined that the cycle has not become shorter than the prescribed period, the controller controls power feed to the heater under zero crossing control.
摘要:
An image forming device that uses only one temperature sensor to detect temperatures of the recording sheet and a rotation member for fixing, and can perform the temperature adjustment control carefully in detail during the image forming operation. The CPU 61 performs the temperature adjustment control 1 by executing the temperature adjustment program 64b (step S109), then executes the paper passing judgment program 64a to judge whether or not paper is passing (step S110). As far as it judges that no paper is passing (NO in step S110), the CPU 61 continues to perform the temperature adjustment control 1 by executing the temperature adjustment program 64b. When it judges that paper is passing (YES in step S110), the CPU 61 performs the temperature adjustment control (step S112).
