摘要:
A perfecting press apparatus for forming images on both sides of a transfer medium. With respect to a transferring current Ipt of an image forming unit, current Ipc is made large which flows from a charge control instrument for controlling charge polarity of the toner on the transfer medium in the direction of the transfer medium. In particular, in the image forming unit causing retransfer, a de-charging light source is installed between the a developing device and a transferring device for canceling charges other than at a latent image part of an image carrier, so that the relationship between Ipt and Ipc is to be 3×Ipc≦Ipc≦6×Ipt, whereby the retransfer is suppressed to minimum for producing satisfied quality of image.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus such that residual toner on a transfer/conveyer mechanism such as a transfer belt and an intermediate transfer material is effectively removable. High-tension voltage opposite in magnetic polarity (plus) to the charged toner and a photosensitive drum is applied to a discharger 15 provided ahead of a drive member 12 for driving a transfer belt 6. The residual toner on the transfer belt 6 is removed by a brush 21, and the residual foreign substances come in contact with the photosensitive drum 1 and move onto the photosensitive drum 1 before a printing operation is started. The foreign substances are then removed by a photosensitive drum cleaner.

A developing device includes a developer bearer, a developer regulator, a casing including an opposing face to oppose the developer bearer upstream from a developing range in a direction of rotation of the developer bearer, and first, second, and third seals. The first seal includes a first end secured to the casing and a second end to contact a latent image bearer upstream from the developing range in a direction of rotation of the latent image bearer. The second seal includes a first end secured to the opposing face of the casing, and a second end to contact the first seal upstream from the developing range. The third seal includes a first end secured to the opposing face of the casing, and a second end to contact developer on the developer bearer between the developer regulator and the developing range in the direction of rotation of the developer bearer.

A developing device to develop a latent image on a rotatable image bearer includes an upstream developing roller disposed opposite the image bearer at a first developing position, and a downstream developing roller disposed adjacent to and downstream from the upstream developing roller in a direction of rotation of the image bearer, disposed opposite the image bearer at a second developing position. Each of the upstream developing roller and the downstream developing roller has a most approachable surface that approaches closest to the image bearer and a most withdrawn surface that withdraws farthest from the image bearer. In a state in which a reference surface point of the image bearer is disposed opposite the most approachable surface of the upstream developing roller at the first developing position, the reference surface point opposes the most withdrawn surface of the downstream developing roller at the second developing position.
摘要:
A transfer apparatus capable of suitably measuring the amount of electric charges transferred from a transfer member to a transfer body and performing a transfer process without degrading the image quality by supplying an amount of electric charges suitable for any type of transfer body onto which an toner image is to be transferred. The transfer apparatus in an image forming apparatus employing an electrophotographic method includes the transfer member electrically charging the transfer body; a charging unit for electrically charging a surface of the transfer member; and voltage sensors for measuring the voltage at each of an upstream area and a downstream area on the transfer member with respect to a transfer nip section of the transfer member.

An image forming apparatus restricts disturbance of a potential patch in the case where a potential sensor for detecting the potential patch is provided downstream of a developing device of a multiple developing roller type so as to enable stable reproduction of a high quality image for a long period. The apparatus includes a potential sensor provided downstream in the moving direction of the image carrier relative to the developing device for detecting a potential on the image carrier, and a controller for setting the developing bias to a value restricting disturbance of a potential portion as an object for potential detection by the potential sensor by the developer when the potential portion passes across the developing device.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printing apparatus using electric potential dividing development processing without the occurrence of primary fringe and fringe caused by auxiliary exposure has reverse electric fields causing primary fringe and fringe caused by auxiliary exposure adjusted to be nearly equal to each other. The auxiliary exposure is applied to an area surrounding one image, and an electric potential of an intermediate electric potential zone is brought close to a bias electric potential of another image which is not subjected to auxiliary exposure. Further, a white portion to produce a reverse electric potential therein at the rear end of an electric potential portion to be developed with toner, relative to a rotating direction of a developing roller, is exposed with a light intensity forming an electric potential between an electric potential developing an image with toner and the intermediate electric potential, and portions at the front end and the sides are exposed with a light intensity forming the intermediate electric potential.
