A polygon mirror that can be manufactured at low cost and high productivity and a method of manufacturing the same, a polygon mirror that can be manufactured at low cost and presents little variations in reflectance in a wide range of angles of incident, an optical scanner and electrophotographic equipment that are less expensive and compact is provided. The polygon mirror has a single layer film formed of a substance having an index of reflection of 1.45 or below on the reflecting surface. The method of manufacturing the prism shaped polygon mirror having a film on the reflecting surface comprises a step of application for applying a solution containing a substance for forming a film on the reflecting surface, and a step of forming a coated film of the solution on the reflecting surface by rotating the polygon mirror, and the solution is applied only in the area of which the distance from the axis of rotation of the polygon mirror is at least Ri in the application step, where Ri is the minimum distance between the reflecting surface and the axis of rotation. The polygon mirror preferably has a film having the distribution of film thickness on the reflecting surface. Such a polygon mirror is included in the optical scanner and electrophotographic equipment.

An air bag mounting structure is formed of an air bag mounting plate having a through opening; an inflator disposed in the through opening and having a flange disposed under the air bag mounting plate around a periphery of the through opening; an air bag having a receiving opening in a rear portion thereof for receiving the inflator therein; and a mounting piece connected to a periphery of the receiving opening of the air bag. The mounting piece is disposed between a rear surface of the air bag mounting plate and an upper surface of the flange of the inflator. A fastening device passes through the air bag mounting plate, the mounting piece and the flange to connect the air bag mounting plate and the flange. The mounting piece is firmly fixed between the air bag mounting plate and the flange, while the inflator is attached to the air bag mounting plate.

An opening for discharging toner is formed in a lower part of a cartridge body containing toner. A shutter mounting body is mounted on the opening. A first shutter is slidably mounted on the shutter mounting body. A second shutter is slidably mounted on the first shutter. A front end of a sealing member for sealing the opening is extended, the extended front end being inserted through a seal traction opening formed in a front end of the second shutter, and fixed to a front end of the first shutter. When the second shutter is pulled out of the shutter mounting body, the sealing member is towed by the seal traction opening. In addition, the first shutter is further towed by the sealing member, to be also pulled out. Consequently, nearly half of the sealing member from its front end is stripped. When the second shutter is further pulled out after the movement of the first shutter is regulated, the seal traction opening in the second shutter tows the sealing member while allowing the insertion of the sealing member. At this time, the sealing member is stripped while being so folded that a toner adhering surface is located in its inside. In this construction, the stroke for stripping is decreased, thereby to make it possible to prevent contamination by toner as well as prevent a large part of the sealing member from being ineffective.

An image forming apparatus which facilitates the input and output of copy paper. One embodiment includes an image forming apparatus with paper supply trays, a development area, a console and a sorter. By pressing a transparent paper mode key on the console, normal and projector paper are sequentially fed from the trays to the development area and then to the sorter. The sorter is set in one of three modes by a sorter instructor. A manual key on the console allows an operator to set the instructor to position the sorter in any one of the three modes. The pressing of the transparent paper mode key or the detection by a detector of transparent paper in the feeding tray results in the instructor setting the sorter in a non-sort mode despite the sort instructor having been previously set in a different mode. Also, another embodiment of the invention includes a judging device for judging whether a cover copy mode or a page numbering mode has been inputted to the copying assembly and, if so, then the sorter instructor sets the sorter in a sort mode. Another embodiment uses a selecting device to match the detected size and orientation of the transparent paper with a similar detected size in one of a plurality of cassettes containing non-transparent paper. An additional embodiment features rear and face discharging modes which, when set, result in a predetermined positioning and sequencing of the transparent projector and normal paper.

When documents fed by an automatic document feeder are subjected to the first copying operation, the documents are counted one by one. Alternately, the total number of documents are calculated by dividing the number of copy paper sheets sent to an intermediate tray, by the preset number of copies. Page entry is made in the copy paper sheets taken out from the intermediate tray, based on the total number of documents thus obtained. The total number of documents may be automatically counted. Accordingly, even though the documents are successively fed, starting from the last-page document, page entry may be made. The operator is not required to manually count the total number of documents.

A printing apparatus includes one or more print processing sections that execute a printing process of printing an image represented by input printing image data onto a recording medium, and plural data processing sections that execute a generating process of generating the printing image data for inputting to the print processing section based on input data for a print subject. Further, the printing apparatus includes a control unit that inputs in a distributed manner the data for a print subject corresponding to a single printing job to plural data processing sections with the plural data processing sections executing in parallel the generating process for assigned parts of the data for a print subject.

An UI section accepts operation of a user. A setting selection section judges as to whether this user operation instructs a process operation executed in accordance with setting information of an IC chip attached to an original document, or another process operation executed in accordance with setting information entered by the user. In the former case, an operation control section controls a data reading section so as to read out the setting information from the IC chip attached to the original document, and also, controls a print control section to perform printing/FAX transforming operations in accordance with this read setting information. In the latter case, an operation control section controls a data writing section in order to write the setting information entered by the user into the IC chip.
摘要:
When a printing paper to which an IC chip storing secret information is attached is discarded, a shredder applied voltage to the IC chip by a discharging unit to destroy the IC chip and to make it impossible to read the secret information therefrom. Thereafter, a shredding cutter shreds the printing paper and the shred printing paper is discarded.
