    摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided with a carriage in which recording heads having nozzles for ejecting liquid droplets are mounted and is configured to form an image on a recording medium being transported. The image forming apparatus includes a pattern forming unit that forms an impact position displacement adjustment pattern formed of plural independent liquid droplets on a water repellent member; a reading unit that includes a light emitting unit for emitting light onto the adjustment pattern and a light receiving unit for receiving specular reflection light from the adjustment pattern; and an impact position correcting unit that corrects an impact position of a liquid droplet to be ejected from the recording head based on a read result by the reading unit. The reading unit is disposed on the carriage and is arranged close to the side of a guide member that guides movement of the carriage.

    摘要: A wiping device includes a cleaning liquid tank, an endless web, a circulation path, a liquid feeder, and a filter. The cleaning liquid tank stores a cleaning liquid. The endless web is rotatably movable and has a part immersed in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank and another part outside the cleaning liquid to wipe an object in a wiping direction. The cleaning liquid is circulated through the circulation path. The liquid feeder is disposed in the circulation path, to generate a flow of the cleaning liquid circulating through the circulation path. The filter is disposed in the circulation path, to filter the cleaning liquid flowing through the filter.

    摘要: A fixing unit includes an endless belt accommodating a heat source inside a loop formed by the endless belt, a rotary pressing member rotating in contact with the endless belt in a pressure contact section, and a heat transfer member secured to a side plate within the loop of the endless belt to support and heat the endless belt with heat conducted from the heat source. The heat transfer member has an opening opposite the rotary pressing member. A securing member is disposed in the opening of the heat transfer member in pressure contact with the rotary pressing member via the endless belt. The heat transfer member and the securing member collectively include a pair of latching parts to firmly connect the heat transfer member and the securing member with each other when one of the latching parts is fitted to the other one of the latching parts.
