摘要:
A sheet laminator includes a bonding unit and a restricting unit. The bonding unit bonds a first sheet to a second sheet that includes an adhesive layer. The restricting unit restricts movement of any one of the first sheet and the second sheet thereby preventing bonding between the first sheet and the second sheet before the first sheet and the second sheet reach the bonding unit.

An image sheet forming method includes supplying a first sheet including a non-transparent layer, and transferring a toner image onto a toner image carrying surface of the first sheet. The method further includes integrating a second sheet, which includes a base layer and a transparent layer, with the first sheet in a manner that the toner image is sandwiched between the toner image carrying surface of the first sheet and the transparent layer of the second sheet. The method further includes separating the base layer from the second sheet while fixing the toner image.
摘要:
A pair of registration rollers align a leading edge of a recording medium having a transparent section and a non-transparent section. A boundary sensor detects a boundary between the transparent section and the non-transparent section. The boundary sensor is provided on a downstream side of a direction of conveying the recording medium by the registration rollers.

摘要:
A charging apparatus includes a charging member arranged to be adjacent to a photoconductive member with a gap having a tolerance in a charging region relative to the photoconductive member and applied with a voltage including a direct current voltage under a constant voltage control including an alternating current element to apply a charge to the photoconductive member. The alternating current element has a peak-to-peak voltage at least twice as great as a charge-start voltage to be applied to the charging member at a maximum gap within a range of the gap having the tolerance.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a plurality of image carriers sequentially arranged in a direction of paper conveyance. Developing devices each form a toner image of particular color on one image carrier associated therewith. Cleaning devices each remove residual toner left on the surface of the associated image carriers after the transfer of the toner image to the recording medium. A toner recycling device is provided between the cleaning device located at the most upstream position in the direction of paper conveyance and the developing device associated therewith, but not provided between the cleaning device located at the most downstream position the developing device assigned therewith. With this configuration, the apparatus obviates troubles ascribable to the mixture of toner of different colors occurring in the most downstream developing device. In addition, at a time other than the time of transferring toner images from the image carriers to the recording medium, a controller activates a mixed toner consumption mode such that any one of the developing devices, other than a developing device located at most upstream position in the direction of conveyance of the recording medium, is caused to deposit toner on the image carrier which is than transferred to a recording medium carrier and then cleaned to remove the toner.
