    Abstract: An operator guidance system includes a detection unit, a control unit, and an operation indicator. The detection unit is disposed in an image forming apparatus to output a combination of detection signals, and includes one or more media sensors, and one or more opening sensors. The one or more media sensors are disposed along a media conveyance path to output a media detection signal. The one or more opening sensors are disposed adjacent to an openable structure to output an opening detection signal. The control unit is connected to the detection unit to determine guidance to be provided to an operator based on the combination of detection signals, and includes a memory and a controller. The operation indicator is connected to the control unit to indicate the identified operation to the operator.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a conveyance unit to convey a transfer medium, a first image forming unit to form a monochrome image transferred at a first transfer position onto the transfer medium, and a second image forming unit disposed downstream from the first image forming unit in a direction of conveyance of the transfer medium, including an intermediate transfer body to form a multi-colored toner image on the intermediate transfer body. The multi-colored toner image is transferred onto the transfer medium at a second transfer position. The conveyance unit is separated from the intermediate transfer body at the second transfer position in a monochrome mode to form the monochrome image using only the first image forming unit, and contacts the intermediate transfer body at the second transfer position in a full-color mode to form a full-color image using both the first and second image forming units.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrying member, a developing unit, an image density detector, a toner concentration detector, a toner concentration controller, and an output adjustment unit. The image carrying member forms a reference latent image pattern. The developing unit develops the reference latent image pattern as a reference image pattern with a two-component developer. The image density detector detects an image density of the reference image pattern. The toner concentration detector detects a toner concentration in the two-component developer. The toner concentration controller controls the toner concentration based on the image density detected by the image density detector. The output adjustment unit adjusts a toner concentration sensing level of the toner concentration detector with a sensor control voltage. The toner concentration is controlled by a target voltage with reference to the image density. The toner concentration range is changed by changing the sensor control voltage.

    Abstract: A developing device for feeding a developer stored therein to an image carrier of the present invention includes a sleeve facing the image carrier for causing the developer deposited thereon to contact a latent image formed on the image carrier. A regulating member faces the sleeve for regulating the thickness of the developer that forms a layer on the sleeve. A guide member has a guide surface for guiding the developer regulated by the regulating member toward the surface of the image carrier. The guide surface has a conductive surface facing the sleeve. The developing device protects the image carrier from defective images ascribable to impurities, which include deteriorated toner and paper dust, without resorting to a filter mechanism or a bias for collection.
