A multi-function office product having a printer unit comprising a printer body, print engine and a first connecting portion, removably coupled with a scanner unit comprising a scanner body, flat bed, image sensor and a second connecting portion. The scanner body can be detachably connected to the upper portion of the printer body, wherein the connection of the first and the second connecting portions provides an electrical connection between each. The printer body and the scanner body comprise fastening holes and fastening protrusions for the mechanical connection thereof, and comprise first and second connecting portions for the electrical connection. As a result, connecting and disconnecting the printer unit and the scanner unit becomes easy, and retrieving printed papers and resolving maintenance tasks, such as paper jam removal and repairs, can be carried out with efficiency and convenience.

A cover unit of a substrate for an image forming apparatus and method. The apparatus and method include a first cover unit and a second cover unit. The first cover unit surrounds the substrate on which electronic elements of a main body of the image forming apparatus are mounted, and the second cover unit is provided outside the first cover unit. The first cover unit is formed using an insulator, and the second cover unit is formed using a conductor. The cover unit of the substrate does not require an insulating sheet, and thus the cover unit of the substrate can be formed with a compact structure.

An image forming apparatus and method are disclosed. The image forming apparatus and method comprise a main image forming apparatus having a developing section and capable of being independently driven so that it prints an image onto a paper fed on the basis of input image information; at least one sub-image forming apparatus removably mounted to the main image forming apparatus in sequence, the sub-image forming apparatus having a developing section and modularized to perform printing operation according to a control command. The apparatus and method further comprise a main paper feeding unit connected to the main image forming apparatus and feeding a paper to the main image forming apparatus; at least one sub-paper feeding units removably connected to the main paper feeding unit in sequence for feeding a paper to the sub-image forming apparatus, respectively; and a control section for selectively controlling the operation of respective image forming apparatuses and respective paper feeding units on the basis of input image information in a manner that printing operations are performed either in one image forming apparatus or simultaneously in the respective image forming apparatuses.

A developing cartridge includes a casing having a toner chamber, a feeding roller installed within the toner chamber, a developing roller supplied with a toner from the feeding roller, and a sealing film interposed between the developing roller and the feeding roller. The sealing film blocks a movement of the toner toward a gap between the developing roller and a bottom of the toner chamber, so that the toner does not leak out through the gap between the developing roller and the bottom of the toner chamber.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a first driving section having a feed mechanism and a printer engine, a second driving section having a delivery mechanism, a first motor, a second motor, and a controller. The first and second motors drive the first and second driving sections, respectively. The power supplied to one of the first and second motors having a higher output is cut off earlier by a predetermined compensation time as compared to the other motor having a lower output. The compensation time is equal to or shorter than the difference |T1−T2| between a first stop time T1 required to actually stop the first motor after cut-off of the power supplied to the first motor and a second stop time T2 required to actually stop the second motor after cut-off of the power supplied to the second motor.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a subsidiary charge roller and a development roller, wherein the diameter ratio I of the subsidiary charge roller to the development roller is in the range of 0.45 to 0.8. The subsidiary charge roller and the development roller can be arranged such that the linear velocity of the subsidiary charge roller Vs is larger than the linear velocity of the development roller Vd, and preferably the linear velocity ratio K of the subsidiary charge roller to the development roller is in the range of 1.01 to 1.06. Alternatively, the image forming apparatus can further include a compression section for applying a predetermined pressure to the opposite ends of the shaft of the subsidiary roller and a development roller gear coaxially formed on the development roller shaft.
