Abstract:
A home gateway includes a WAN interface portion, a LAN interface portion and an analog interface portion, and a LAN controller, an analog controller and a central controller. The WAN interface portion communicates with an external telephone set. The LAN interface portion communicates with a plurality of telephone sets configuring an IP telephone system. The LAN controller and the analog controller control the LAN interface portion and the analog interface portion such that type information is transmitted to a destination telephone set. The central controller generates the type information in accordance with a type of information to be communicated to the external telephone set, based on the information received by the WAN interface portion. Thus, a user can readily determine which telephone set is to be used to receive a call when a plurality of telephone sets can receive a call from a calling party.
Abstract:
An image forming method including forming an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor; developing the latent image with a developer including a toner using a center-feed developing device to form a toner image; transferring the toner image onto a receiving material; and fixing the toner image using a fixing member coated with silicone oil. The toner includes at least a binder resin; a colorant; and a quaternary ammonium salt having a specific formula, wherein when the toner is dispersed in ethanol using ultrasonic waves, the dispersion has a turbidity of from 0.4 to 1.0 when the turbidity is determined using a haze meter. An image forming apparatus including a photoreceptor; a center-feed developing device using a developer including the toner; a transferring device; a fixing device using a fixing member coated with silicone oil; and a cleaner for the photoreceptor.
Abstract:
A developing device including a developer bearing member containing a magnetic field generator having multiple magnetic poles and a developer containing chamber is provided. The developer containing chamber contains a two-component developer comprising magnetic carrier particles having a saturated magnetization of 58 to 70 emu/g in a magnetic field of 1 KOe and toner particles, and has a divider to define an upper supply chamber and a lower collection chamber. The supply chamber includes a supply conveyer to supply the two-component developer to the developer bearing member at an upstream side from the developing area. The collection chamber includes a collection conveyer to collect the two-component developer from the developer bearing member at a downstream side from the developing area. The multiple magnetic poles includes three developer bearing poles capable of bearing the developer on its surface.
Abstract:
