    摘要: An image forming apparatus is disclosed, that includes multiple imaging units, a loading unit formed on the top face of the main body of the image forming apparatus, and a discharging unit disposed at the operation side of the main body. The image forming apparatus further includes multiple developer containing members disposed in the main body for providing the corresponding imaging units with developer, the developer containing members being arranged in a direction extending from the operation side of the main body. The developer containing members are detachable from the main body of the image forming apparatus, and can be handled in a space above the image forming apparatus, the space being limited to the width of the main body.

    摘要: A target specified range of a toner density is correctly set so that a toner density is consistently appropriately controlled.If a specified range within which a measured toner density TD (%) should fall is set based on an expression (2) below using a volume average diameter Dcav_vol (μm) of a magnetic carrier and a volume average diameter Dtav_vol (μm) of a toner, the target specified range can be correctly set, thereby making it possible to consistently appropriately control the toner density. TD≦{γt·Vt/Nt/(γc·Vc)}×100   (2)

    摘要: A connection checking system of the present invention is arranged so as to apply a power supply voltage which is dropped by the resistance to a terminal when the control substrate and the unit are connected. Then, the control section determines that the unit is connected to the control substrate when the dropped voltage is applied to the terminal. On the other hand, when a dropped voltage is not applied to the terminal, the control section determines that the unit is not connected to the control substrate. The connection checking system of the present invention can be realized by using a conventional power supply cable, a signal cable and a terminal, and thus the connection checking system of the present invention can be manufactured at low costs.

    摘要: The cell wall removal ratio of an elastic foam body is set such that developer or other fouling material adhering to a rotatable member can be continuously absorbed through the cells of the elastic foam body during a single maintenance cycle of an image forming apparatus. For example, the cell wall removal ratio of the elastic foam body is set to at least 60% or at least 80%. When the cell wall removal ratio of the elastic foam body is set to at least 60%, good image quality can be maintained reliably until the number of sheets recorded by the image forming apparatus reaches 20000. Furthermore, when the cell wall removal ratio of the elastic foam body is set to at least 80%, good image quality can be maintained reliably until the number of sheets recorded by the image forming apparatus reaches 30000.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a main body having an opening, and image bearing member or an intermediate transfer unit, and an arrangement. The image bearing member or the intermediate transfer unit is configured to have a toner image formed thereon or transferred thereto. The image bearing member or the intermediate transfer unit is configured to be attached to or detached from the main body via the opening. The arrangement includes a positioning member configured to position the image bearing member or the intermediate transfer unit, wherein the arrangement is configured to adjust a position of the image bearing member of the intermediate transfer unit at a position where the opening is closed.
