摘要:
There are provided an image forming apparatus which can implement on-demand fusing with quick rise in temperature by using the upper current (power) limit of a commercial power supply more effectively and a control method for the apparatus. This image forming apparatus includes a rechargeable battery device capable of charging and discharging, and is designed such that a load other than heating element of a fusing device can receive power from the commercial power supply and/or the rechargeable battery device. When printing is to be executed, the temperature of the fusing device is detected by a temperature detection element provided for the fusing device, and the supply of power from the commercial power supply or rechargeable battery device to the load is controlled in accordance with the detected temperature. The power supplied from the commercial power supply to the fusing device is then limited to a limit level corresponding to the control result.

There are provided an image forming apparatus which can implement on-demand fusing with quick rise in temperature by using the upper current (power) limit of a commercial power supply more effectively and a control method for the apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a rechargeable battery device capable of charging and discharging. A load other than the heating element of a fusing device is designed to be capable of receiving power from the commercial power supply and/or the rechargeable battery device. At turn-on or upon returning from the energy saving mode, the supply of power from the commercial power supply and rechargeable battery device to the load is controlled. The power supplied from the commercial power supply to the fusing device is limited to a limit level corresponding to the above control result.

A developing apparatus having a container for containing a one component developer, and a rotatable developing roller disposed facing an image bearing member to carry developer from the container to a development zone where it is supplied to an electrostatic latent image carried on an image bearing member. The developing roller includes a metal base member and a resin coating layer thereon in which fine conductive particles are dispersed. The developing roller has a surface including an end region adjacent an end of the roller, and an intermediate region. In the end region, the base member is not roughened and the resin layer is not provided. In the intermediate region, inside the end region, the base member is roughened and is coated with the resin layer. A sealing member is provided for preventing leakage of the developer from the container at the end of the developing roller, the sealing member being faced to the end region of the developing roller.
