    摘要: Before a photoreceptor for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus is uniformly charged at the beginning of a process for forming a latent electrostatic image thereon, the photoreceptor is exposed to charge-removing light for stabilizing the surface potential such that a high-quality image can be obtained. The level of exposure is modified in view of the fatigue and recovery characteristics of the photoreceptor. During a continuous operation of the photoreceptor, the level is logarithmically reduced. When the photoreceptor is started again after a rest period, the initial level of exposure is adjusted by logarithmically increasing it according to the length of the rest period as well as in view of the level of exposure prior to the rest period.

    摘要: A plurality of illuminating lights are positioned adjacent a document table for illuminating an original with different color light. A holding member is capable of not only rotating the individual light sources but also moving a specific light source outward to assume an advantageous position for illuminating the document. A cam mechanism can be utilized for automatically positioning the light source as it approaches the desired illumination position.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus with a main body composed of a light source, a photoreceptor, charging device for electrostatically a charging the surface of the photoreceptor, a developing device for supplying toner particles to the surface of the photoreceptor a transferring charger for transferring a toner image formed on the surface of the photoreceptor onto a copying sheet, and a high-voltage source for applying a high voltage trigger to both said charging device and the transferring charger simultaneously. The apparatus is designed to execute original scanning as an original glass plate is moved with respect to the main body, characterized in containing a reflecting unit for reflecting the light from the light source to illuminate the surface of the photoreceptor at an area between the charging device and the developing device, the reflecting unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the trailing end of the original glass plate in its forward movement for original scanning. The apparatus is designed to eliminate the need of providing an independent light source for blank exposure thereby simplifying the arrangement for blank exposure to be performed with respect to the photoreceptor and saving the manufacturing cost for the apparatus.

    摘要: A photoreceptor of amorphous silicon is provided on the surface of a cylindrical drum. A charger, exposing unit, developing unit, transfer charger, separation charger, discharger and cleaning blade are located, in that order, around the cylindrical drum. A light shielding plate is located close to that surface of the discharger where the first-mentioned charger is positioned. The surface of the photoreceptor is charged, while the cylindrical drum is rotated, and then exposed to light to form an electrostatic latent image on that surface. A toner is supplied from the developing unit to the surface of the photoreceptor to develop the latent image into a visual image. The visual image is transferred by the transfer charger to a copying sheet, and the copying sheet is separated by the separation charger off the photoreceptor. Thereafter, the image transfer area of the photoreceptor is discharged by light from a discharging lamp in the discharger and the toner remaining on the surface of the phtotreceptor is removed by a cleaning blade.

    摘要: A cleaning system for an electrophotographic copying apparatus utilizes an electrostatically active belt which is movable relative to the moving surface of the photoconductive drum. As the electrostatic belt moves past the surface, the electrically charged toner is picked up by the belt and carried away from the drum. At a position remote from the drum, the toner is scraped from the belt, preferably to be reused in later cycles of the system. Preferably, the belt is translucent, and a flourescent lamp is mounted behind the belt to discharge the surface of the drum of the remaining latent image as the toner is removed. Typically, the moving belt incorporates an electrostatic grid having alternating charged portions. These charged interleaved portions of the belt attract the electrically charged toner and hold it to the belt as the toner is moved away from the surface of the drum.
