    摘要: A developing device is provided with a developer vessel for storing therein a developer material composed of toner particles and carrier granules and a developer material supply section for gradually supplying a carrier developer including the carrier granules from above the developer vessel, wherein a discharge opening for discharging therethrough the developer material is formed on a side face of the developer vessel. When a tilt detection unit provided with the developing device detects the tilt of the developing device, an alarm lamp is set ON for sending a warning. In the meantime, the discharge opening is closed for preventing an excessive overflow of the developer material from the developer vessel.

    摘要: Featured is an imaging forming apparatus that provides minute particles having a uniform diameter and being uniformly charged. The image forming apparatus includes a supplying member that supplies charged developing particles, a counter electrode disposed opposite to the supplying member and a control electrode disposed therebetween and including a plurality of passing holes serving as passages for the developing particles. While a potential for generating a predetermined potential difference is applied between the supplying member and the counter electrode, the potential being applied to the control electrode is changed in order to change an electric field existing between the supplying member and the counter electrode. This controls flying of the developing particles passing through the passing holes in a direction from the supplying member to the counter electrode, and thus the forming of the image. The developing particles are formed of a liquid or liquescent material, and fine-grained and charged with electricity by the supplying member. The supplying member is particularly configured or arranged so the developing particles thereon formed have a diameter to minimize particle fragmentation during flying from the supplying member towards the control electrode.

    摘要: An electrophotographic printing machine is provided with a photoreceptor drum including a photosensitive layer formed on a surface of an electrically conductive base, a contact charger in contact with the photosensitive layer for charging the photosensitive layer by applying thereto a DC voltage, and a voltage drop detecting circuit for outputting a detecting signal when the voltage has dropped below a reference voltage. When a defect exists such as a pin hole on the photosensitive layer, the voltage being applied to the photosensitive layer of the contact charger drops. In this state, a detecting signal is output to a controller from the voltage drop detecting circuit. When the controller receives the detecting signal, the controller signals to stop the operation of the entire device, and signals a display to display a message indicating to exchange the photoreceptor drum. According to the electrophotographic printing machine, the image forming process will not be continued with the detective portion on the photosensitive layer. Thus, the contact charger can be prevented from breaking down.

    摘要: To provide an ink jet image forming method and an ink jet image forming device capable of forming an image of superior quality by using quickly drying ink and slowly drying ink in combination, wherein deviation which may occur in a discharge position of ink causes no reduction in the resolution of the image, black ink is adopted as the slowly drying ink, and so is white ink as one of the quickly drying ink. A white dot is formed with the white ink in a position to form a black dot on white recording paper, thereafter applying the black ink thereto. Deviation which may occur in the discharge position of the quickly drying white ink on the recording paper thus becomes almost visually unnoticeable.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus shown has a developing unit and a photoconductor unit both of which are disposed in a body. The developing unit and photoconductor unit are slidably mounted adjacent to each other within the body. The mounting and positioning of the units are such as to allow the developing unit and the photoconductor unit to be successively pulled out of the body. The apparatus further includes an urging member which allows the photoconductor unit to be urged toward the developing unit. The body includes upper and lower housings and is designed so that the upper housing can be swung upward about a fulcrum on one side of the body and thereby form an opening between the upper and lower housings on the other side of the body. The apparatus is designed and the components are configured such that when the developing unit is pulled out of the body the photoconductor unit moves toward the opening and the photoconductor unit can be replaced in a large open space near the opening.
