Abstract:
A transfer belt unit which is mounted in an image forming device. The transfer belt unit contains a positioning member, a handle, and a guiding member. The positioning member positions the transfer belt unit with respect to the image forming device in a state where the transfer belt unit is inserted into a guide unit. The handle is placed on the rear side of the positioning member in a direction of inserting the transfer belt unit into the guide unit. The guiding member holds the transfer belt unit when the transfer belt unit is inserted into the guide unit by abutting on a guide surface of the guide unit together with the positioning member before the handle is inserted into the guide unit.
Abstract:
An image recording apparatus includes a recording head and a first conveyance unit. An applying unit applies the recording medium on the first conveyance unit with treatment liquid. One end of a second conveyance unit is connected on an upstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and the other end is connected on a downstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and on the upstream side from the recording head in the conveyance direction, the second conveyance unit conveying the recording medium. A conveyance switching unit is disposed on the one end of the second conveyance unit and switches conveyance of the recording medium to the applying unit side of the first conveyance unit or to the second conveyance unit side according to a content of recording data.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an apparatus body having a document table portion on which a document is placed, a scanning unit provided inside the apparatus body to optically scan an image of the document placed on the document table portion, an image forming unit for forming a developer image on a photosensitive drum in accordance with the image information scanned by the scanning unit, a transfer charger for transferring the developer image formed by the image forming unit on a sheet, a fixing unit for fixing the developer image transferred by the transfer charger on the sheet, an ejecting roller for ejecting the sheet on which the developer image is fixed by the fixing unit to the outside, a sheet receiving unit provided below the scanning unit inside the apparatus body to receive the sheet ejected from the ejecting roller, and a blowing unit for blowing cool air to the sheet receiving unit along a lower surface part of the scanning unit.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an inkjet head, a first tank and a second tank, a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow path, and a negative pressure control mechanism that controls negative pressure in the first tank and the second tank. The negative pressure control mechanism alternately switches a first phase in which the ink is delivered from the first tank to the second tank, and a second phase in which the ink is delivered from the second tank to the first tank. The inkjet head ejects the ink both in the first phase and in the second phase.
Abstract:
