摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet; a sheet finishing unit arranged above the image forming unit for performing a finishing process such as punching a hole, stapling and marking on the sheet; and an image reading unit arranged above the sheet finishing unit for scanning and reading an image on an original set on a platen. The image forming unit includes a first discharge stacker having a first sheet discharge device, and the sheet finishing unit includes a second discharge stacker having a second sheet discharge device. The first sheet discharge device discharges the sheet in a direction same as a direction that the second sheet discharge device discharges the sheet. The image reading unit scans the sheet in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction that the first and second sheet discharge devices discharge the sheet.

A sheet supply apparatus includes a sheet supply tray for stacking a sheet, and an auxiliary tray movable between a support position where the auxiliary tray supports a portion of the sheet stacked on the sheet supply tray and a storage position where the auxiliary tray overlaps the sheet supply tray. A sheet supply device supplies the sheet stacked on the sheet supply tray. A sheet detection device is mounted on the auxiliary tray for detecting the sheet stacked on the sheet supply tray, and a tray position detection device detects a position of the auxiliary tray between the support position and the storage position. An identifying device identifies a length of the sheet in a sheet supply direction based on detection results of the sheet detection device and the tray detection device.

The present invention is to provide a staple cartridge that can offset any discrepancies when mounting a staple cartridge, even if staples are slightly offset to check the occurrence of stapling defects. The staple cartridge 100 of the holding means 200 which is equivalent to the cartridge holder disposed as either a body separate to the stapler unit 300 or unitized thereto, actuates the staple feeds means 202. Even if the position of the staple pulled out from the staple cartridge is offset, this action corrects the offset to correctly set the staple at the driving position thereby enabling it to check stapling defects that occur because of mis-positioning of the staple set position.

A card supplying mechanism includes a card stacker with a motor-driven rotatable eccentric cam for sequentially raising and lowering a moving member having an oblique, step-shaped card touching surface. A motor rotates the cam to a position of maximum diameter, thereby lifting vertically-stacked cards with the oblique, step-shaped card touching surface. The motor then drives further to rotate the cam to a position of minimum diameter, thereby separating one end of the cards on an oblique card support surface so as to mutually offset stacked cards. A kick roller then discharges from the stacker a bottommost stacked card. The card supplying mechanism provides a reliable supply of cards by virtue of both improved card separation, and reduced load on the bottommost card that is to be supplied.

A sheet discharge device includes a housing for housing sheets discharged from an image forming apparatus. A matching reference device includes a plurality of reference members different in matching reference positions for arranging one end of the sheet in the housing. A matching device moves the sheet to the matching reference device to arrange the one end of the sheet.

A light quantity adjusting device includes a ring-shaped base plate having an exposure aperture at a center thereof, a first light quantity adjusting blade arranged in the exposure aperture, a first drive device for opening/closing the first light quantity adjusting blade, a second light quantity adjusting blade arranged in the exposure aperture, and a second drive device for opening/closing the second light quantity adjusting blade. The first drive device includes a magnet rotor and an exciting coil formed in a ring shape, and a guiding member for inducing a magnetic field to a position facing a magnetic pole formed on a circumference side of the magnet rotor. The second drive device includes a magnet rotor, an exciting coil, and a guiding member for guiding a magnetic field to a position facing a magnetic pole formed on a circumference side of the magnet rotor.

A sheet feeding device includes a stacker on which sheets are placed, a sheet feeding device for separating and feeding a sheet from other sheets on the stacker, a sheet overlap sensing device placed in a sheet conveying path at a downstream side of the sheet feeding device, and a sheet sensing device for detecting whether the sheet is located in the sheet overlap sensing device. An error determining device determines whether the sheet overlap sensing device is operating normally.
摘要:
A sheet feeder apparatus is controlled for sequentially feeding sheets to a predetermined processing position. A detection signal of a sheet stacked in a rise and lower tray located at a lower limit position is received before receiving a feed signal to start feeding of the sheet. Upon receiving the feed signal to start feeding of the sheet, the rise and lower tray is moved from the lower limit position to an upper limit position, and the sheet is supplied.
