An image forming apparatus includes detecting means for detecting a toner image formed on an image carrier, and transport means for transporting a sheet. The detecting means is disposed on an inner side in a width of the image carrier, and on an outer side of a contact region with the transport means and the sheet, in a direction perpendicular to a transporting direction of the sheet.

An image forming apparatus includes detect means for detecting a toner image formed on an image carrier, and transport means for transporting a sheet. The detect means is disposed in correspondence with a position which is on an inner side of a width of the image carrier, and on an outer side of a contact region with the transport means and the sheet in a direction perpendicular to a transporting direction of carrying the sheet.

An image forming apparatus is able to form steady test-pattern toner images for calibration of reflection density detection characteristics with ample toner. The operation consists of forming a test-pattern toner image for calibration of the reflection density detection characteristics, which is formed of a plurality of toner images of different colors aside from a reference test-pattern toner image for controlling image forming conditions, detecting the detection characteristics of a reflection density sensor from the result of detection of the quantity of toner attached to the test-pattern toner image for calibration of the reflection density detection characteristics, and calibrating the output characteristics of the reflection density sensor.

A developing device is provided with which the increase in torque of a supply roller, unevenness of image density, and wear to the supply roller caused by the formation of an aggregated block of toner in the gap between the supply roller and the opposing side wall of a supply developer holding chamber can be suppressed. This developing device comprises a developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image supported on a photoconductive member, a supply developer holding chamber for holding toner to be supplied to the developing roller, a supply roller for supplying the toner supported on the peripheral face thereof to the developing roller, a hopper that is disposed above the supply developer holding chamber and used to hold toner for replenishing the supply developer holding chamber, and a communication opening for allowing the hopper to communicate with the supply agent holding chamber, wherein a canopy member is provided directly above the gap to impede the advance of the toner on the supply roller into the gap between the supply roller and the opposing side wall of the supply developer holding chamber.

摘要:
An electrophotographic apparatus includes a plurality of image forming devices, wherein each image forming device includes a developing device having a tip end part and a toner storage part coupled to the tip end part. A thickness of the tip end part is smaller than a thickness of the toner storage part. An exposure device, which is an LED array, is arranged near the tip end part.
摘要:
Water-processable positive-tone photoresists comprising a water-soluble polymer, wherein the polymer contains a heat-labile functional group that renders the polymer insoluble in water or an aqueous base upon heat treatment, and an acid-labile functional group that restores said water or aqueous base solubility to the polymer upon irradiation in the presence of a water-processable photoacid generator, are described. Also described are the methods of making such polymers and photoresists.
