    摘要: An electrophotographic imaging apparatus includes a toner image holding body, a transcription unit for transcribing the toner image on the toner image holding body onto a recording medium, and a conveyor for conveying a recording medium toward the toner image holding body and transcription unit. A judging device will judge whether printing is of a first page or not and if it is decided that printing is to be performed on a first page, a first measuring device will measure the electrical characteristic of the toner image holding body prior to the feeding of a recording medium and a transcription voltage will be set depending of this measured result. Thereafter, the recording medium will be conveyed toward the transcription unit where the electrical characteristics of the non-printing region on the recording medium will be measured via a second measuring device and the transcription voltage will be further adjusted. If it is judged that the recording sheet is not the first sheet, only the second measuring and adjusting will be performed. In this manner, transcribing of a toner image can always be performed regardless of the kind of paper being used and/or changes in the environment (temperature, humidity) and a high transcribing efficiency can be attained.

    摘要: An outer peripheral length of an intermediate transfer drum of a color laser beam printer is constituted in which a number of a beam detection signal obtained by one rotation of the transfer drum is formed as an integral number of a face number of a polygon mirror. A passing-through detection means detects the passing-through of a specified position mark on a photosensitive body belt and is provided on the photosensitive body drum at predetermined position. An image data requirement signal generating means controls a generating timing of an image data requirement signal for forming a toner image by the passing-through detection signal. A scanning line at a raster direction based on the beam detection signal after the transfer drum has rotated at one rotation returns and overlapped on a scanning line position formed on the first beam detection signal as a standard. A plural toner images having a different color each are formed on the transfer drum without color offset.

    摘要: Each of color toner images is formed on a photo-sensitive drum using a plural development units. An exposure process and a development process for a color image information are carried out repeatedly corresponding to a respective hue of the image information. The toner images of n colors are transferred to the drum by contacting a recording paper to the drum. A record mode is selected in accordance with a length in a peripheral direction of the drum of the image information against a peripheral length of the drum. When the length of the image information is longer than the peripheral length of the drum, N times transfer processes are selected as the record mode. Then the length of the image information is divided into N areas. The image information of n colors existing in every divided area is formed dividedly on the drum. The color image is recorded on a full length of the paper. Besides, when the length of the image information is shorter than the peripheral length of the drum, one time transfer process is selected as the record mode.

    摘要: A color printer has means for setting toner image forming areas in the paper sheet convey direction in respect of respective colors, means for detecting a reference position on a photosensitive belt, and image formation start position setting means responsive to the reference position to set a toner image (electrostatic latent image) formation start position in the rotation direction of the photosensitive belt. When the paper sheet length is longer than the outer peripheral length of an intermediate transfer member, the image formation start position setting means sets, for colors other than the final color, a printing area which is shorter than the outer peripheral length of the intermediate transfer member and sets, for the final color, a printing area which begins immediately after a seam position of the photosensitive belt and conforms to the paper sheet length. Through the above setting, when toner images of two colors are superposed to print a color image, the printing area of the final color can be set to a desired range in the paper sheet length direction regardless of the outer peripheral length of the intermediate transfer member, thereby improving the printing speed and preventing degradation of quality.
