摘要:
An exposure device has a plurality of light emitting units for emitting laser beams based on image signals. These laser beams emitted from the respective light emitting units are combined through respective galvanomirrors and half mirrors and conducted through a cylindrical lens to a polygon mirror. The respective combined beams reflected on the polygon mirror are illuminated onto an exposure light position on the surface of a photosensitive drum through two f&thgr; lenses and a mirror. At this time, through the rotation of the polygon mirror, the respective laser beams are deflected in a main scanning direction and, through the rotation of the photosensitive drum, they are deflected in a sub-scanning direction to allow the surface of the photosensitive drum to be scanned with the exposure beams. At a position downstream of the cylindrical lens along a light path of the respective laser beams but upstream of the polygon mirror, a stop is so provided as to allow the combined beams to be passed and the cross-sectional configuration of the combined beams to be shaped. The stop shapes the cross-sectional configuration of the respective laser beams in the main scanning direction only.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a leading end gripper and a trailing end gripper provided on a drum. The leading end gripper is moved by a leading end gripper driving mechanism. The trailing end gripper switches between a standby position where this gripper is stopped relatively to the rotating drum and a grip position where this gripper rotates with the drum. The leading end gripper and a recording medium pass through an inside of the trailing end gripper stopped in the standby position. If a trailing end of the recording medium reaches the trailing end gripper, the trailing end gripper is released and switches to the grip position. Thus, the trailing end of the medium is held on the drum by the trailing end gripper. The trailing end gripper moves in a rotating direction of the drum while continuing nipping the trailing end of the medium.

According to one embodiment, an image recording apparatus includes a printing unit and an entry angle changing mechanism. The entry angle changing mechanism is disposed further along the upstream than the printing unit in a conveying direction and changes the entry angle of the paper with an upper surface not printed and a lower surface printed, after printing on the first surface if printing on both sides is performed by the printing unit.

An image recording apparatus includes a carrying unit that carries a recording medium in a carrying direction. A recording head records on the recording medium carried by the carrying unit by ejecting ink. An application unit applies a treatment liquid to the recording medium carried by the carrying unit. An inclination correction unit is disposed on a downstream side in the carrying direction from the application unit and an upstream side in the carrying direction from the recording head and corrects an inclination of the recording medium carried by the carrying unit.
摘要:
There is provided a transfer belt unit mounting/dismounting device constituted by a decreased number of component parts capable of using the guide rails not only to guide the insertion of the transfer belt unit, but also to set the transfer belt unit to a transfer position and to return it to a non-transfer section.

An image forming apparatus has: an intermediate transfer member to which a toner image developed on a photosensitive material is transferred while the intermediate transfer member rotates plural times; a transfer roller that is provided to be able to move into contact with and apart from the intermediate transfer member and transfers the toner image on the intermediate transfer member to a paper sheet while conveying the paper sheet pressed to the intermediate transfer member; a grooved cam having different grooves formed respectively in front and back surfaces of the grooved cam. A link mechanism for color image printing and a link mechanism for monochrome printing are reciprocated independently from each other, with ends of the link mechanism engaged respectively in the grooves of the grooved cam, thereby to control contact and separation of the transfer roller and the intermediate transfer member.
