A multifunction system has advanced functions and high speed capability and is excellent in expandability. The multifunction system includes a controller, an IIT, an IOT, and a light distributing device. For a print job, print data outputted from the controller is converted into optical signals, which enter a light distributing device and are transmitted to the IOT of the emission side. The IOT prints the received data onto a printer. For a copy job, copy data outputted from IIT is converted into optical signals, which enter the light distributing device, and are transmitted to the IOT of the emission side. For a scan job, scan data outputted from the scanner is converted into optical signals, which enter the light distributing device, and are transmitted to the controller of the emission side. The controller processes the received data.

Buffers of YMCK colors have memory capacities for storing image data corresponding to a difference between timings at which YMCK images formed on YMCK photosensitive drums are transferred onto a transfer member and control is effected such that paper is fed only when all image data sets to be printed are stored in the respective YMCK buffers.

A lever is provided in a photosensitive member frame of a photosensitive member cartridge that accommodates a developing cartridge in a cartridge accommodating portion. The lever is engaged with an engaging shaft of the developing cartridge, and is movable between a contact position and a separation position. When the lever is in the contact position, a developing roller and a photosensitive drum make contact with each other, and when the lever is in the separation position, the developing roller and the photosensitive drum are separated.

An image forming apparatus includes a color difference detection pattern output device that outputs an image signal to produce a color difference detection pattern for detecting periodic rotational variations arising in the image forming apparatus, a pattern detection device for detecting the color difference detection pattern formed on an endless carrier; phase detection device for detecting the phase of rotation of at least one of the image carriers of the image forming apparatus on the basis of a detection signal received from the pattern detection device; and a rotational phase control device for individually controlling the phase of rotation of at least one of the image carriers of the image forming apparatus and the endless carrier on the basis of the phase information detected by the phase detection device. The phase detection device calculates the mean value of the rotational variations of the rotational phases.

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a conveyance belt which conveys a recording sheet via a position opposing the image carrier, a belt cleaner which removes adhered matters on the conveyance belt, a driving unit which drives the image carrier and the conveyance belt, a bias applying unit which applies a cleaning bias to the belt cleaner, and a controller which controls the driving unit and the bias applying unit such that when the image carrier is driven at a first speed, the cleaning bias is applied to the belt cleaner, and when the image carrier is driven at a second speed slower than the first speed, the cleaning bias is not applied to the belt cleaner.

A cooling structure of a stator, including a case that accommodates a rotating electrical machine, and cooling a coil end portion protruding from a stator core included in the stator of the rotating electrical machine. The structure supplies a cooling medium from the stator axial direction toward a gap that is formed between an inner surface of the case and an outer edge of the stator core. The cooling medium introducing gap is formed above a portion of the coil end portion to which the cooling medium is to be supplied. A storage space forming member is provided along an outer peripheral surface of the coil end portion. The storage space forming member has a contact portion having a first contact portion that contacts the inner surface of the case to close the cooling medium storage space on the one side in the stator axial direction.

An image forming apparatus may include a removable/attachable belt unit. In operation, the belt unit may be secured to a main body of the image forming apparatus using a lock mechanism to prevent extraneous or unexpected shifts and/or other movements. The lock mechanism may be located closer to a rotation pivot than to a midpoint between the rotation pivot and a rotation axis of a driven roller. This positioning of the lock mechanism may allow easier attachment and removal of the belt unit. Additionally, the lock mechanism may include an urging member configured to sandwich a protruding member of the belt unit against a contact surface in a front-rear direction. This reduces the potential for elastic or creep deformation of the belt unit.
