Abstract:
An image forming device includes a development unit that forms a toner image, a fixation unit that includes a handle including a grip part and fixes the toner image transferred to a record medium on the record medium and a heat insulation duct that is situated between the development unit and the fixation unit and inhibits transmission of heat of the fixation unit to the development unit. The handle is provided to be able to shift between an operational position for being gripped by an operator and an operating position at which the handle is in contact with the heat insulation duct.
Abstract:
A print medium feed unit includes: a first feed roller including a first end portion and a second end portion and configured to pick up a print medium by rotating about a rotational axis extending in a first direction; a first support portion configured to rotationally support the first end portion; and a second support portion configured to rotationally support the second end portion. At least one of the first support portion and the second support portion includes a separation structure including a first portion and a second portion which are separable from each other in a radial direction of the first feed roller.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming apparatus body, a cassette attaching section and a media cassette. The media cassette includes a loading plate, a pushing up member, a projecting portion and a plate holding portion that engages the loading plate. A release portion engages the plate holding portion. The cassette attaching section has a media supplying roller that supplies media to the image forming apparatus body. The plate holding portion engages the loading plate and holds the loading plate against a pushing up force of the pushing up member. The plate holding portion holds the loading plate when the support section of the media cassette is located outside the cassette attaching section. The media cassette may be inserted into the cassette attaching section.
Abstract:
A light-emitting apparatus includes: first and second array-shaped light emitters arranged in substantially parallel with each other to have a overlapping portion where a part of an area where the first array-shaped light emitter is capable of forming an image and a part of an area where the second array-shaped light emitter is capable of forming an image are overlapped with each other; a division unit that divides, based on a pixel pattern of bit map data including multiple pixel data, the bit map data into a first partial bit map data and a second partial bit map data; and a controller that allocates the first and second partial bit map data to the first and second array-shaped light emitters, respectively, and controls the first and second array-shaped light emitters based on the first and second partial bit map data.
Abstract:
A medium carrying device includes an apparatus body, medium guide unit that is detachable with respect to the apparatus body, a carrying roller that is disposed in the apparatus body, and is configured to rotate to carry a print medium passing through the medium guide unit, and a driven roller that is disposed in the medium guide unit at a position corresponding to the carrying roller in a contacting manner so that the driven roller rotates in accordance with a rotation of the carrying roller.
Abstract:
A medium conveying device including a first stacker to which a medium is ejected, a first conveying path guiding the medium to the first stacker, a second conveying path branched from the first conveying path at a first branching position, and a second stacker to which the medium guided by the second conveying path is ejected. The second stacker is provided on an apparatus main body so as to be openable and closable. A first switching unit is movable between a first position and a second position. The first switching unit guides the medium to the first conveying path at the first branching position when the first switching unit is in the first position, and guides the medium to the second conveying path at the first branching position when the first switching unit is in the second position. A moving mechanism moves the first switching unit from the first position to the second position in conjunction with an opening operation of the second stacker.
Abstract:
A memory control device includes a memory control part that controls memory through an interface part in accordance with a predetermined communication regulation, an illegal access detection part that detects an illegal access to the memory according to an access state from the memory control part to the memory and a signal state of the interface part, and a signal control part that switches the signal state of the interface part from a write-allowed state, in which the interface part is able to be written, to a write-inhibited state, in which the interface part is protected from being rewritten, when the illegal access is detected by the illegal access detection part.
