摘要： Of developers 4a, 4b and 4d which are adjacent to each other on a rotary developing unit 4, the downstream-most developer 4d along the direction D4 of rotations of the rotary developing unit 4 is positioned first at a developing position and a patch image is formed. The rotary developing unit 4 then rotates 90 degrees, and the adjacent developer 4a is moved to the developing position. While the developer 4a forms a patch image, a memory of the developer 4b is updated. After this, while rotating the rotary developing unit 4 by 90 degrees each time, patch image formation with and memory update for the respective developers are carried out.

摘要： An intermediate transfer belt having a plurality of layers including a conductive layer, and having a transfer area and a transfer protection area. A CPU sends a control signal to a primary transfer bias generating circuit, and applies a primary transfer bias upon the conductive layer of the intermediate transfer medium through a bias applying member. The CPU changes an output value of the primary transfer bias in accordance with a predetermined bias change condition when a secondary transfer is not ongoing and when a non-image area, in which there is no toner image transferred on the intermediate transfer belt, such as the transfer protection area is passing the primary transfer part.

摘要： In a monochromatic print mode, an abutting timing on when a secondary transfer roller abuts on an intermediate transfer belt is different from the timing in a color print mode. Specifically, in the monochromatic print mode, the secondary transfer roller abuts on the intermediate transfer belt prior to the start of an exposure process for the first image. Then, the secondary transfer roller is separated from the intermediate transfer belt at completion of the secondary transfer of the final image. Therefore, the secondary transfer roller has already abutted on the intermediate transfer belt at the start of the irradiation of a light beam for forming the first electrostatic latent image. The exposure process is performed with the secondary transfer roller kept abutting on the intermediate transfer belt.

摘要： An electrostatic latent image is formed on a rotary image carrier. A developer is provided with at least one developing roller which is separatably abutted on the image carrier at a developing position to supply toner onto the image carrier to make the latent image visible as a toner image. An intermediate transfer member is adapted to temporarily hold the toner image. A transferer applies a transfer bias to primarily transfer the toner image on the image carrier to the intermediate transfer member. A first cleaner is always abutted on the image carrier to remove toner remaining thereon. A second cleaner is separatably abutted on the intermediate transfer member to remove toner remaining thereon. The toner image includes a first toner image which is not to be transferred onto the recording medium and a second toner image which is to be secondarily transferred onto a recording medium. The second cleaner is separated from the intermediate transfer member so as to avoid the first toner image.

摘要： An image receiving material comprises an image receiving layer provided on a support. The image receiving layer contains particles of a thermoplastic compound. The image receiving layer has a porous surface formed by the particles. According to the present invention, the image receiving material is prepared by forming the image receiving layer on the support and heating the image receiving layer at a temperature of higher than a softening point of the thermoplastic compound to widen pores in the porous surface. The image receiving material is preferably used in combination with a light-sensitive material which comprises a support and a light-sensitive layer in which light-sensitive microcapsules are dispersed. The light-sensitive microcapsules contain silver halide, a reducing agent, an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound and a color image forming substance. An image forming process using the light-sensitive material and the image receiving material of the present invention comprises the steps of imagewise exposing to light the light-sensitive material; heating the light-sensitive material to develop the silver halide; and pressing the light-sensitive material on the image receiving material to form a color image on the image receiving material.

摘要： A sorter for stapling is provided with an arrangement of a plurality of sorting bins and a paper guide means which discharges the papers to predetermined bins. A stapling means is provided to move to the positions corresponding to the predetermined bins. The stapling means moves to a position corresponding to a bin in which are held the papers to be stapled among the predetermined bins, and effects the stapling process under the condition where the papers are held in said bin. The stapling number setting means sets the number of bins in which are held the papers that are to be stapled. A control means is provided which, after the papers are discharged to the predetermined bins by the paper guide means, causes the stapling means to effect the stapling process for only those papers that are held in the bins of a number corresponding to the number of said bins.

Each of the sorter units includes a paper distributing mechanism for distributing paper to several sort bins, and a first path change-over mechanism for changing over the connection of a paper lead-in path to either a paper feeding path to the paper distributing mechanism or a paper discharging path to a non-sort bin. The sorter also includes several bypass carrying paths, each provided across the paper discharging path of each of the sorter units and the paper lead-in path of another one of the sorter units which is adjacent to the one sorter unit in a serially connecting direction of the sorter units. The non-sort bin is provided on an upper portion of the bypass carrying path of each one of the sorter units so that the non-sort bin serves another one of the sorter units upstream of the one sorter unit. The sorter further includes several second path change-over mechanisms, each for switching the connection between the paper discharging path to the non-sort bin and the bypass carrying path.

摘要： An image forming apparatus and an image forming method, which are capable of forming images at stable image quality by executing adjustment of operating conditions at appropriate timings, are provided. When a Vsync count corresponding to an integrated value of a rotation count of an intermediate transfer belt reaches a predetermined value V1 or V2, a charging current Iw is increased by one level and an adjusting operation of a developing bias is executed (at a time t4 or t5), to thereby stabilize an image density. Further, when remaining service life of a developer reaches a predetermined value (50%) (at a time t6), if the Vsync count at that moment suggests that the time to change the charging current Iw is drawing near, the change thereof is executed ahead of the schedule, whereby the adjusting operation of the developing bias, which should otherwise be executed at the time t7, is omitted.
