摘要： Disclosed is a method for regenerating an ink recording medium formed by successively laminating an anisotropic electrically conductive layer, a heating resistor layer for generating heat in response to application of an electric signal, an electrically conductive layer, an ink parting layer, and a heat-melting ink layer, in which the heat-melting ink layer after print-recording with the ink recording medium is regenerated by use of ink particles containing a binding resin and a coloring agent, the improvement is in that by use of the ink recording medium further including an ink parting layer having a thickness of 0.08 to 3 .mu.m, and a volume resistivity of 10.sup.8 .OMEGA. cm or more, the heat-melting ink layer after print-recording with the ink recording medium is electrified with the same polarity as the potential of electrified ink particles, and then the ink particles carried by an ink carrier is deposited on traces of transferred ink formed in the heat-melting ink layer. According to the method, therefore, ink particles can be prevented from depositing onto an untransferred portion of the heat-melting ink layer of the ink recording medium, so that a difference in ink layer thickness between the ink transferred portion (traces of transferred ink) and the untransferred portion can be reduced to thereby make it possible to obtain good printed images even in the case of repeated use for a long term.

摘要： The development apparatus of this invention includes a developer supporting body consisting of a rotatable non-magnetic sleeve and a magnet roll fixedly installed within the rotatable non-magnetic sleeve. The development method involves the following steps: a latent image formed on a latent image supporting body is developed or made visible with a two-component developer carried on the developer supporting body in a non-contact manner; a horizontal magnetic field which is orientated in the circumferential direction of the developer supporting body is applied to the developer in an effective development area on the developer supporting body, the effective development area facing the latent image supporting body; and a developer movement promotion magnetic field is applied locally to a part of the effective development area on the developer supporting body so that the developer is expelled from that part of the effective development area and that chains of carrier of the developer in the developer expelled region are slid in the circumferential direction of the developer supporting body. This development method ensures a sufficiently high development performance during the multicolor image forming process without disturbing the toner image formed.

摘要： An image forming apparatus has at least one replaceable unit replaceably mounted to an image forming apparatus main body. The image forming apparatus outputs a message purporting that a reservation of an operation mode can be received, at the timing that a replacement timing of the replaceable unit which is currently mounted is close in time. If so, prior to the replacement of the replaceable unit which is current mounted, a reservation of an operation mode for a replaceable unit which is to be mounted next time may be received. Further, if the replacement of the replaceable unit is detected, the image forming apparatus starts the control according to the reserved operation mode.
