摘要:
A color image forming apparatus which is capable of preventing deterioration in image formation quality caused by vibrations of a developing unit without halting an image forming operation and using a simple construction. A developing rotary unit incorporates developing devices corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of image formation colors. In forming an image, the developing rotary unit is moved to location for development of an image of each of the plurality of image formation colors. The level of vibrations applied to the developing rotary unit is detected, and the drive control pattern for the developing rotary unit is determined depending on the detected level of vibrations.

An optical access system is disclosed in which subscribers' terminals and optical coupler-splitters of nodes are maintenance-free and required control is effected on the part of the central office alone. At a first position, down-link optical digital signals are generated, which are made "1s" every n bits (n being an integer equal to greater than 2). The optical digital signals, except a train of optical pulses every n bits, are sent as down-link information over a transmission line. At a second position, the optical digital signals, except the optical pulse train, are demodulated from the transmitted down-link optical digital signals, and in an optical gate circuit on which the down-link optical digital signals are incident, up-link optical digital signals based on up-link message data is formed in synchronization with the optical pulses corresponding to every n-th bits and is transmitted to the first position over the transmission line. At the first position, the up-link optical digital signals sent from the second position is received from the transmission line.

The present invention provides a motor which includes a stator including a plurality of one-phase stators composed of a pair of stator cores having claw-type teeth and a coil for generating magnetic flux at the claw-type teeth, and a rotor for generating torque at a rotary shaft, wherein the stator core includes a plurality of split cores having the same shape, and the split cores are formed to have a recessed portion and a projected portion to be fitted in the recessed portion. Thereby, by using a plurality of the split cores having the same shape, one stator core is formed. On this occasion, the shape of the split cores is molded so that the recessed portion and the projected portion of one stator core are disposed at positions at which those are fitted to the projected portion and the recessed portion of the opposing stator core, respectively.

An image forming apparatus that can improve image quality by correcting for variations in the potential characteristics of a photosensitive member and enhance the responsiveness of an image forming operation. The photosensitive member is rotated by a drive unit and exposed to light from an exposure unit. A first generation unit periodically generates a first signal. A second generation unit generates a second signal. A plurality of generation periods of the second signals are included in one generation period of the first signal. A control unit, while the photosensitive member is controlled to accelerate, counts the second signals in response to input of the first signal, identifies an exposure position when the photosensitive member is switched from the acceleration control to constant-speed control, reads correction data corresponding to the identified exposure position from a storage unit, and controls the light quantity of the exposure unit.

A technique for reducing downtime that accompanies the execution independently of adjustment processing for maintaining image quality and the execution of finishing processing relating to a printing medium. In order to apply the finishing processing to the printing medium in a finishing processing unit, an image forming apparatus to which this technique is applied sets a time between sheets that extends from end of image formation regarding a first sheet of the printing medium to start of image formation regarding a second sheet of the printing medium transported following the first sheet of the printing medium in the image forming unit, and executes adjustment processing, which is for maintaining image quality in the image forming unit, within the set time between sheets.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus which can improve image formation capability to a satisfactory degree while curbing the rise in running cost. An image forming device forms adjustment images having different densities on an image support member having a higher optical reflectivity than an optical reflectivity of the adjustment images. A reading reads the adjustment images. An output from the reading device is read at a predetermined number of readings or time interval between readings based on the densities of the adjustment images susceptible to the optical reflectivity of the image support member.

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus whereby waiting time (downtime), which is required for forming an image by automatic adjustment relating to image formation density or image formation position, is made shorter than in the prior art. When an image having a size equal to or less than a prescribed size is formed is formed in this apparatus, the image to be formed is placed on an image carrier in such a manner that a vacant area for forming an adjustment pattern can be reserved on the image carrier. As a result, automatic adjustment relating to image formation density or image formation position can be executed while an image is formed.
