    摘要: A printer system includes a first apparatus including a first voltage source for converting an inputted AC voltage to a first DC voltage and for outputting the converted first DC voltage, and a first controller operable by a voltage based on the first DC voltage outputted from the first voltage source; and a second apparatus including a second voltage source for converting an inputted AC voltage to a second DC voltage and for outputting the converted second DC voltage, and a second controller operable by a voltage based on the first DC voltage outputted from the first voltage source. The second apparatus includes a first switching portion for switching a state thereof between a connection state in which the AC voltage is supplied to the second voltage source and a non-connection state in which supply of the AC voltage is cut off.

    摘要: The feeding apparatus includes a pick-up roller, a feed roller, a separation roller which forms a separation nip portion with the feed roller, an encoder, and an engine control unit. The engine control unit obtains variation in rotation speed of the separation roller based on a detection result of the encoder, and determines a life condition of the separation roller based on the obtained variation in rotation speed of the separation roller.

    摘要: The power supply is capable of operating in a first state and a second state having a consumption power lower than a consumption power of the first state. The power supply controls a first power supply in the first state such that a first DC voltage is a first voltage and controls the first power supply in the second state such that the first DC voltage is a second voltage lower than the first voltage.

    摘要: A feeding apparatus includes a rotary member unit having a feeding rotary member to feed a recording material and a separating rotary member which forms a nip portion with the feeding rotary member, an output unit, and a control unit. Where a single recording material is fed to the nip portion, the separating rotary member is rotated in a predetermined direction by the single recording material and, where recording materials are overlapped with one another and fed to the nip portion, the separating rotary member rotation is stopped or rotated in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to separate the overlapped recording materials. The output unit outputs a state signal in accordance with a separating rotary member rotation state. The control unit obtains a rotation speed of the separating rotary member from the state signal output and determines that the rotary member unit is replaced with a new product.

    摘要: A power supply device includes a transformer including a primary winding, a secondary winding and an auxiliary winding, first, second and third circuits, and a switch. The first circuit in which a first capacitor and a first rectifier are connected in series is connected to the primary winding in parallel. The switch of which one end is connected to one end of the primary winding. The second circuit in which the auxiliary winding and a second rectifier are connected in serial is connected between a connecting point, to which the first capacitor and the first rectifier are connected, and the other end of the switch. The third circuit including a resistor and a third rectifier is connected to a gate of the switch. In the third circuit, a resistance value in a direction where a current flows into the gate of the switch is smaller than that in a direction where the current flows out of the gate.
