摘要:
The invention is objected to perform fixing in an optimum fixing condition even with various kinds of recording materials or the like while improving usability by discriminating the kinds of recording materials An image reading sensor 123 includes a reflective LED 301, a transmissive LED 303 disposed on the opposite side relative to a recording material 304 for detecting the transmitted amount of light, a CMOS area sensor 211, and an imaging lens 1113. The light from the reflective LED 301 as a light source is applied toward the surface of the recording material 304, and the reflected light from the recording material 304 is collected via the lens 303 and an image is formed on the CMOS area sensor 211. The LED 301 is disposed so as to apply LED light to the surface of the recording material 304 diagonally at a predetermined angle.

An image forming apparatus includes a toner image forming device for forming a color image. The toner image forming device forms a first color test image and a second color test image superposedly on an image conveying member so that at least one of a screen angle and a screen ruling with respect to the first color test image is different from that with respect to the second color test image. The image forming apparatus further includes a detecting device for detecting a distribution of heights of the first and second color test images formed superposedly on the image conveying member by the toner image forming device, and a control device for controlling a toner image forming condition of the toner image forming device on the basis of the distribution detected by the detecting device.

An image forming apparatus includes a color image forming portion for forming a color toner image on an image bearing member and a transparent image forming portion for forming a transparent toner image on the image bearing member. The color and transparent image forming portions form test color and test transparent toner images on the image bearing member. A detecting portion detects a density of each of the test color and test transparent toner images and a control portion controls an image forming condition for an image to be formed on a recording material, on the basis of a result of the detection. The test transparent and test color toner images are formed on the image bearing member between operations for forming the images on the recording material. A frequency of formations of the test transparent toner images is lower than that of the formations of the test color toner images.

The present circuit board (1′) is provided with a substrate (11) and an electrode (12) formed at least on one side of the substrate (11) using the above conductive paste. On the surface of the electrode (12), an adhesive insulating area composed of a composition having a storage modulus at 25° C. smaller than that of the resin constituting the conductive paste may be provided.
摘要:
An image-forming apparatus includes a first developer container accommodating a first developing agent containing a dark-colored toner and a first carrier; a first developing agent-bearing member at the first developer container, that transports the first developing agent to a first developing region; a first unit for generating a magnetic field in the first developing region, disposed in the first developing agent-bearing member; a second developer container accommodating a second developing agent containing a light-colored toner and a second carrier; a second developing agent-bearing member at the second developer container, that transports the second developing agent to a second developing region; and a second unit for generating a magnetic field in the second developing region and disposed in the second developing agent-bearing member. Magnetic binding force applied to the second carrier in the second developing region from the second unit is larger than that to the first carrier from the first unit.

An image forming apparatus includes an exposure area controller for controlling an exposure area per pixel of an exposure device on the basis of image information and a switching device for switching an amount of exposure so as to decrease an exposure intensity of the exposure device during reference toner image formation and increase the exposure area per pixel of the exposure device when compared with those during normal image formation.
摘要:
The type of printing medium on which an image will be formed is discriminated based upon the image of the medium surface read by an image reading unit for reading the surface as an image. If the discriminated medium type is other than a prescribed printing medium, the image is formed without changing an image formation parameter. When the type of printing medium and the state of the surface are discriminated, image formation can be performed in the most stable image forming mode if an abnormality occurs.
摘要:
In a dual-side image formation, a fixing apparatus has a fixing member for fixing an image on the recording material by heat, a heat supply member for supplying heat from the exterior of the fixing member, and a dual-side image forming unit which forms images on both sides of the recording material. A first image forming operation for forming an image on a first side of the recording material and a second image forming operation for forming an image on a second side of the recording material are executed repeatedly and a heat supply control controls heat supplied to the fixing member so that a heat supplying condition of the heat supply member is changed according to the side of the recording material when an image is fixed thereon.
