摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a plurality of imaging units each for forming an image on a recording medium, an image carrier provided in each of the plurality of imaging unit, a development unit for visualizing an electrostatic latent image on the image carrier by toner in each of the plurality of imaging units, and a supporting device configured to integrate at least two imaging units of the plurality of imaging units into a unit, wherein the supporting device has a plurality of pressing members configured to press upper portions of the at least two imaging units, respectively, and a plurality of supporting members configured to support lower portions of the at least two imagining units, respectively.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a unit including image carriers for carrying electrostatic latent images, respectively, and developing devices for developing the electrostatic latent images with toners, respectively, and integrated with the image carriers, and toner feeding devices for feeding the toners to the developing devices, respectively, and provided separately from the unit, wherein the toner feeding devices and developing devices are detachably engaged with each other.
摘要:
An integration density acquiring unit for a consumption information management apparatus acquires integration density from an image signal sent from an image processing section, and an information converting unit calculates a quantity of consumed toner (consumption information) by multiplying the integration density by a specified coefficient to send the quantity to a cumulative consumption information calculating unit. The cumulative consumption information calculating unit temporarily stores the information for the quantity of toner consumption in a memory, and reads out the information from the memory at predetermined timing. Accordingly, it is possible to determine only the cost for developer used by a user or calculate the quantity of developer remaining within an image formation apparatus based on the cumulative consumption information for the unadjusted developer stored in the memory.
摘要:
A reading lens for a scanner to read an original in a reduced magnification, the lens comprising six lenses, i.e., from a first lens to a sixth lens in order on an optical axis. The first lens is a positive lens having a first lens-surface and a second lens-surface. The second lens is a negative lens disposed in contact with the first lens and has the second lens-surface in common with the first lens and a third lens-surface. The third lens is a meniscus lens and has a fourth lens-surface and a fifth lens-surface. The fourth lens is a meniscus lens and has a sixth lens-surface and a seventh lens-surface. The fifth lens is a negative lens and has a eighth lens-surface and a ninth lens-surface. The sixth lens is a positive lens disposed in contact with the fifth lens and has the ninth lens-surface in common with the fifth lens and a tenth lens-surface. At least one of the ten lens-surfaces is formed as an aspherical surface.
