Abstract:
Disclosed is a sheet discharging apparatus including a charge eliminating member which is provided downstream a pair of swinging rollers for discharging a sheet, and is directed along a sheet discharging direction from its upstream side toward its downstream side. In the sheet discharging apparatus, the charge eliminating member is directed along the sheet discharging direction from its upstream side toward its downstream side, so that an area of the charge eliminating member facing a sheet is made larger than that of a conventional one, and static electricity of the sheet can be surely removed. Particularly, even when the sheet is a color sheet on which a color image charged with more static electricity than a monochromatic sheet is formed, the static electricity of the color sheet can be surely removed.

Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus, including: a conveyance path in which a sheet is conveyed in a predetermined conveyance direction; a rotary member pair configured to nip the sheet conveyed in the conveyance path and rotate to perform folding processing on the sheet; and a guide portion provided between one rotary member of the rotary member pair and the conveyance path and configured to guide a downstream edge of a sheet conveyed in the predetermined conveyance direction, wherein, in case that a sheet is conveyed in the conveyance path in the predetermined conveyance direction, the guide portion guides a downstream edge of the sheet in the predetermined conveyance direction in a state in which the guide portion is held in contact with the one rotary member.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of appropriately setting a range of a charging voltage for electrically charging an image bearing member. A charging roller (2) and a charging power source (S1) are configured to apply a voltage between the charging roller (2) and a photosensitive drum (1) to electrically charge the photosensitive drum (1). A control circuit (13) is configured to set a voltage for obtaining a predetermined discharge current by the charging roller (2) with the photosensitive drum (1). The control circuit (13) is configured to determine, depending on a state of a resistance acting on an electric current flowing between the charging roller (2) and the photosensitive drum (1), at least one of an upper limit or a lower limit of the voltage set by the control circuit (13).
