An image forming device includes a main casing, a cartridge accommodating portion, a detection unit and a determination unit. The cartridge accommodating portion is configured to detachably accommodate a first cartridge and a second cartridge that is able to be detachably combined with the first cartridge, the first cartridge being provided with a pressing member movable between a first position and a second position, the pressing member being in the first position when the second cartridge is removed from the first cartridge, the pressing member being in the second position when the second cartridge is combined with the first cartridge. The detection unit is provided on the main casing and is configured to perform non-contact position detection of the pressing member. The determination unit is configured not to start image forming operations until the detection unit detects that the pressing member is in the second position.

A toner cartridge is mountable on a process cartridge. The process cartridge includes a supply roller. The toner cartridge includes a first accommodating unit and an agitating member. The first toner accommodating unit has a peripheral surface in which an inner hollow space for accommodating a toner is formed. The agitating member is disposed in the first toner accommodating unit and rotates in a rotating direction to agitate the toner. The peripheral surface has a wall portion formed with a first supply-hole at an upstream side in the rotating direction. The wall portion is curved about a reference line as a center of curvature and depressed inward the first toner accommodating unit. The reference line is outside of the first toner accommodating unit in a radial direction of the agitating member and extending in a prescribed direction.

Disclosed herein is an imaging device including at least one special pixel with a configuration having a layout made different from the layout of the configuration of each pixel other than the special pixel. The special pixel is a pixel having an imaging characteristic steadily different from that of the other pixels. A difference in layout between the configuration of the special pixel and the configuration of the other pixels is used to suppress a non-uniformity of the imaging characteristic exhibited by the special pixel.

An image forming device has a main casing and a cartridge accommodating portion in which a combined unit of first and second cartridges can be loaded. The first cartridge includes a pressing member movable between a first position in which the second cartridge is removed from the first cartridge and a second position in which the second cartridge is combined with the first cartridge. A moving member supported on the main casing is movable between a third position in which the combined unit is unloaded from the main casing and a fourth position in which the combined unit is loaded in the main casing. The pressing member disposed in the second position presses the moving member to move to the fourth position. A determination unit does not start image forming operations until a position detector provided on the main casing detects that the moving member is in the fourth position.

A panel positioning apparatus is provided with an outer panel supporting device 20 adapted to support the outer panel 11 from a lower side of the outer panel 11 and an inner panel supporting device 30 adapted to support the inner panel 12 from an upper side of the inner panel 12. The outer panel supporting device 20 has a lower-surface contact section 23 adapted to abut against a lower surface of the outer panel 11. The inner panel supporting device 30 has an upper-surface contact section 344 adapted to expose below the inner panel 12 and to abut against an upper surface of a part of the outer panel 12 against which the lower-surface contact section 23 abuts. The outer panel 11 and the inner panel 12 are overlaid with each other, and a bending part 112A of the outer panel 11 is bent by pinching the outer panel 11 by the lower-surface contact section 23 and the upper-surface contact section 334.
摘要:
An image forming device has a cartridge accommodating portion in which a combined unit of a first cartridge and a second cartridge can be loaded. The first cartridge is provided with a pressing member movable between a first position and a second position and is in the first position when the second cartridge is removed from the first cartridge, and in the second position when the second cartridge is perfectly combined with the first cartridge. A moving member is supported on the main casing of the image forming device to be movable between a third position and a fourth position, and is in the third position when the combined unit is unloaded from the main casing and in the fourth position when the combined unit is loaded in the main casing. The pressing member disposed in the second position presses the moving member to move to the fourth position. A position detector is provided on the main casing and is configured to perform position detection of the moving member. A determination unit is configured not to start image forming operations until the position detector detects that the moving member is in the fourth position.

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a mounting part configured to allow plural types of cartridges having different initial capacities of developing agent to be detachably mountable therein; a light emitting device configured to emit light into the cartridge mounted in the mounting part; a light receiving device configured to receive light emitted from the light emitting device and passed through an inside of the cartridge; a determining unit configured to determine that a replacement time of the cartridge has been reached when a ratio of time, during which an output value of the light receiving device exceeds a light reception reference value, exceeds a determination threshold value. The image forming apparatus or the cartridges are configured such that the determination of the replacement time changes according to the initial capacity of the cartridge.
