    摘要: A color image apparatus which has a cooling arrangement to help prevent a plurality of light-scanning units for respective colors therein from being adversely influenced by heat from a thermally fixing unit within the apparatus. In a space portion where all light-scanning units are housed, an air-exhausting fan is provided in the vicinity of the light-scanning unit nearest to the thermally fixing unit, and an air hole is formed at a position farthest from the thermally fixing unit. Additionally a temperature sensor is mounted on the light-scanning unit nearest to the thermally fixing unit. Rotation speed of the air-exhausting fan is controlled so that the temperature detected by the sensor does not exceed a predetermined temperature limit.

    摘要: An image forming device and a color misregistration correction method allow for stable formation of excellent images with little color misregistration. A reference patch image is formed on a reference photosensitive drum 3, and transferred to a transfer belt 7. A correction patch image is formed on a correction-target photosensitive drum 3, and transferred onto the reference patch image by superimposition. A registration detecting sensor 21 detects a density average value of the reference patch image and the correction patch image. Based on the density average value, a correction value for controlling the correction-target photosensitive drum 3 is calculated, and rotational phase control is performed in accordance with the correction value.

    摘要: An LD switch is turned ON to output image data outputted from an image processing section to a laser diode, and to irradiate a laser light to a photosensitive drum. The number of pixel dots included in the image data outputted from the image processing section is computed by line basis to detect an image density based on the total sum of the pixel dots of each color at a timing when the image data of Nth line is outputted from the image processing section. The detected image density is compared with a threshold value to turn OFF the LD switch at a timing when the image data of (N+α)th line is outputted when the image density is greater than the threshold value. This suppresses a variation in a rear-end-void length due to sheet slippage.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a controller for detecting the opening and closing of a shutter from the output from an optical sensor and controlling the opening and closing operation of the shutter based on the detected result. The controller determines that if the optical sensor is turned “ON” within a predetermined period of time from when the shutter begins opening, the operation of the shutter from the closed state to the open state is correctly detected. When no reflected light is detected by the optical sensor even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the controller determines that an anomaly has occurred and closes the shutter and repeat another detecting process.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms a color image in which a plurality of color component images are superimposed; and a formation controlling unit that allows the image forming unit to form images for adjustment of formation positions of the respective color component images. The formation controlling unit allows the image forming unit to form, for each color, a plurality of adjustment images having different tilts with respect to a main scanning direction. A shift of a detected position of each adjustment image from a reference position in which each adjustment image should be formed is calculated, a tilt and an intercept of a regression line that uses the reference positions and the calculated shifts as variables are calculated, and a shift in the main scanning direction and a shift in a sub-scanning direction are determined based on the calculated tilt and intercept.

    摘要: A rotational drive transmission mechanism used in an image forming apparatus for transmitting rotational drive force using an internal gear and an external gear having involute tooth profiles, includes photoreceptor drum drive couplings for transmitting rotational drive force to photoreceptor drums and a transfer drive coupling for transmitting rotational drive force to an intermediate transfer belt drive roller. The internal gears provided for these are so formed that all the drive vectors of the rotational drive force transmitted to the teeth of either the internal gear or the external gear in mesh with the internal gear, are made uniform so as to be oriented either outwards from the center of the rotational axis or inwards toward the center of the rotational axis, equivalently relative to the center of the rotational axis.

    摘要: A sub CPU of an image forming section forms a toner image based on test line data on an intermediate transfer belt, detects an inclination of the formed toner image for each color component, calculates an adjustment indicative value for correcting the detected inclination for each color component, and outputs the adjustment indicative values to the BK adjusting section, C adjusting section, M adjusting section, and Y adjusting section, respectively, of an inclination adjusting section. The BK adjusting section, C adjusting section, M adjusting section, and Y adjusting section generate, based on the respective adjustment indicative values obtained from the sub CPU, adjustment amounts for an inclination adjustment process to be executed on image data, execute the inclination adjustment process based on the generated adjustment amounts, and output the obtained image data to the respective LDs of an exposure unit.
