摘要:
An electrophotographic color image forming apparatus, having: a plurality of photosensitive media; a plurality of transfer rollers respectively facing the plurality of photosensitive media; and a belt disposed between the photosensitive media and the transfer rollers and circulating while forming a plurality of transfer nips. When a length of the belt between two neighboring transfer nips is B and a distance between a pair of neighboring photosensitive media is C, B is larger than C, and when respective virtual lines connecting centers of the pair of photosensitive media and centers of corresponding transfer rollers are TP lines and a virtual line connecting the centers of the pair of neighboring photosensitive media is PP line, a pair of neighboring TP lines do not cross the PP line at right angles, and are slanted toward the same side to cross the PP line.

An image forming apparatus including a rotating photosensitive drum, a cleaning blade having a cleaning edge part which makes contact with an outer surface of the photosensitive drum along an axial direction of the photosensitive drum and a bracket having a contact surface where the bracket makes contact with the cleaning blade to support the cleaning blade, the width of the contact surface between the bracket and the cleaning blade being maximum at the center part of the cleaning blade and gradually decreasing from the center part to opposite end sides of the cleaning blade. Thus, a cartridge for an image forming apparatus having a cleaning blade and a bracket prevents poor quality in a cleaning surface of a photosensitive drum and has improved durability.

A paper stacking unit and an image forming apparatus having the same, the paper stacking unit including: a base frame supporting a print media, a cover pivotally connected to the base frame and supporting the print media together with the base frame, and a plate connected to the cover for auxiliarily supporting the print media.
摘要:
A process cartridge of an image-forming apparatus including a cartridge frame, first and second plates assembled to both sides of the cartridge frame, and first through fourth guiding protuberances arranged on both sides of the cartridge frame, to guide attachment/detachment of the process cartridge to and from a cartridge mounting part formed on a main body frame of the image-forming apparatus. The first and the third guiding protuberances among the four guiding protuberances are formed on the first and the second plates, and the second and the fourth guiding protuberances are formed on both sides of the cartridge frame, respectively, and the first and the second through holes to receive the second and the fourth guiding protuberances in a passing through manner, are formed in the first and the second plates.
摘要:
An method of controlling a feeding velocity of a printing medium in an image forming apparatus, and an image forming apparatus to perform the method, the method including sensing a time between two points on a feeding path on which the printing medium is moving, and regulating the feeding velocity of the printing medium according to the sensed time.

A paper picking-up unit and an image forming apparatus having the same are provided. The paper picking-up unit includes a knock-up plate to stack paper thereon; a shaft disposed at a front end of the knock-up plate to rotate, a pick-up roller engaged with the shaft to rotate and pick-up the paper stacked on the knock-up plate, and a knock-up plate ascending and descending portion to raise and lower the knock-up plate according to the rotation of the pick-up roller. The pick-up roller includes a roller body engaged and rotatable with the shaft, and having a frictional layer to pick-up the paper by causing friction with the paper, a pair of roller housings to support opposite sides of the roller body such that the roller body does not move in a lengthwise direction of the shaft, and a damper disposed at an outer circumference of each roller housing to reduce noise caused by a collision of the roller housings and the knock-up plate.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus in which at least one of image forming means such as a photosensitive medium, a developing means and a cleaning means are unitized. The image forming apparatus includes a body frame having a cover to open or close the body frame; a process cartridge in which an image forming means including a photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image is unitized so as to be removably mounted in the body frame; and a guide rail formed in the body frame so as to guide a movement of the process cartridge, wherein the guide rail has a process cartridge mounting position and a process cartridge removing position which is backwardly apart from the cartridge mounting position at a desired distance, and the process cartridge mounting position is located at a higher place than the process cartridge removing position. The process cartridge can be stably and conveniently mounted or removed, thereby improving a convenience of a user.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a first driving section having a feed mechanism and a printer engine, a second driving section having a delivery mechanism, a first motor, a second motor, and a controller. The first and second motors drive the first and second driving sections, respectively. The power supplied to one of the first and second motors having a higher output is cut off earlier by a predetermined compensation time as compared to the other motor having a lower output. The compensation time is equal to or shorter than the difference |T1−T2| between a first stop time T1 required to actually stop the first motor after cut-off of the power supplied to the first motor and a second stop time T2 required to actually stop the second motor after cut-off of the power supplied to the second motor.
摘要:
A multifunction product comprising a main machine, a flat bed for mounting a document on an upper part, a flat bed cover with one end being hinge-joined to the main machine, to open and close the flat bed, a scanner for scanning a document set on the flat bed, and converting an optical signal obtained from the scanning into an electrical signal, a printing unit closely installed on the lower part of the scanner, a paper feeder for supplying a paper to the printing unit, and a discharged paper tray installed on one side of the main machine and formed at a predetermined sloping angle with respect to the mounting direction, to receive in the paper delivering direction. The discharged paper tray is formed to receive a discharged paper so as to prevent possible damage to the paper which is usually weakened by the high temperature and high pressure of the printing unit.
