摘要:
An image forming apparatus an image bearing member adapted to bear a toner image and having a first glossiness in a first direction and a second glossiness lower than said first glossiness, and an optical detection unit including a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit, wherein a light emitted by the light-emitting unit is reflected by the image bearing member and is received by the light-receiving means and an optical direction from the light-emitting means to the light-receiving means is substantially same as the first direction of the image bearing member.

The invention provides an image forming apparatus comprising an intermediate transfer belt composed of a resinous material, a transfer member for transferring a toner image on the intermediate transferring belt onto a transfer material, and an opposing member provided to be opposed to the transfer member across the intermediate transferring belt. The transfer member and the opposing member can be mutually pressured, and the intermediate transferring belt and the opposing member have an integrally measured microhardness smaller than 97null. Thus the invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of preventing a transfer unevenness caused at the transfer of the toner image from the intermediate transferring belt to the transfer material, and an intermediate transfer unit which is detachably attachable to the image forming apparatus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising image carrying means and an intermediate transfer body in an endless shape movable and receivable of toner images from said image carrying means at first and second transfer positions. The following formula is satisfied where a distance from said first transfer position to said second transfer position along the moving direction of said intermediate transfer body is denoted as Lab, a circumstance of said intermediate transfer in the moving direction is denoted as Lr, and a length of said toner image formed on said intermediate transfer body is denoted as Lm: LrnullLm>Lab.

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising a plurality of movable image carriers, a movable intermediate transfer body, and contacting means separably contacting to said intermediate transfer body at a contacting position. Said image carrier located most closely to said contacting position in a direction extending along said intermediate transfer body on a downstream side in a moving direction of said intermediate transfer body with respect to said contacting position. Said image carrier located most closely to said contacting position in a direction extending along said intermediate transfer body on an upstream side in a moving direction of said intermediate transfer body with respect to said contacting position. A toner image formed on said intermediate transfer body is again transferred onto a transfer material after passing through said first transfer position and said second transfer position. And formula La-Sa Lm is satisfied where a distance from said contacting position to said first transfer position along the moving direction of said intermediate transfer body is set as La, where a distance from said exposing position on said first image carrier to said first transfer position along the moving direction of said first image carrier is set as Sa, and where an image length formed on said intermediate transfer body is set as Lm.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a first image bearing member for bearing a toner image; a second image bearing member for bearing the toner image; a transfer member opposed to said first image bearing member with said second image bearing member therebetween, wherein a voltage is applied to said transfer member to transfer the toner image from said first image bearing member on the second image bearing member, and wherein a resistance Rt of said transfer member and a resistance Rb of said second image bearing member satisfy Rt/Rbnull1.0.
摘要:
The invention provides an image forming apparatus including an image bearing member, an intermediate transferring member for receiving a transfer of a toner image from the image bearing member, a cleaning unit which cleans the toner image on the intermediate transferring member, a first mode for transferring a toner image on the intermediate transferring member onto a transfer material, and a second mode for cleaning the toner image without transfer to the transfer material. It is thus possible to prevent image failures resulting when the intermediate transferring member is started to be used from a new state or when the image forming apparatus is started to be used after a prolonged pause.
摘要:
A color image forming apparatus includes a controlling unit for controlling an exposure unit, developing devices, etc., so that an ordinary image of one color is formed within a period of time in which a carrier rotates once, and density detection pattern images of a plurality of colors are formed within the period of time in which the carrier rotates once.
