摘要:
With an image forming device, with respect to a set image density S (default mode), the modes of: increasing or decreasing the variation amount (slope) of the set image density in accordance with a usage amount of a developing device (m1, m2); increasing or decreasing the limit value (m1, m2); changing the initial value (usage amount=0); not changing the setting in accordance with the usage amount (m4); and changing, for example, the initial value but not changing the setting in accordance with the usage amount (m5); etc., are provided as operation modes that differ from an operation mode accommodating a genuine product and are enabled to be selected by a user when a toner cartridge containing a toner that is a product other than a genuine product is mounted.

摘要:
By using information stored in a storage part provided in the image forming apparatus main body or the results of detection of an image density sensor or the like, it is judged whether or not a replaceable unit such as a toner cartridge has been replaced. Furthermore, from information stored in the storage part provided in the image forming apparatus main body, it is detected whether a replaceable unit such as a toner cartridge is genuine or other than genuine units. From these detection results, information on the amount used for developer of the replaced toner cartridge, stored in the storage part, is initialized.

摘要:
In the case of being mounted with any cartridge other than a genuine cartridge, which accommodates a toner other than a genuine toner, a user can select as an operation mode other than that corresponding to a genuine toner, through a UI device 18, making a correction to the consumption of a developer by combining conditions to be changed, such as increasing or decreasing the degree of a change (gradient) in a set value of the toner density with respect to the consumption of a developer (m1 or m2); increasing or decreasing a limit value (m1 or m2); varying an initial value (consumption=0) (m3); no making a change in a set value according to the consumption (m4); and no making a change in a set value according to the consumption, for example, by varying an initial value (m5)
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.

摘要:
A conduction recording head forms an image on a recording sheet by connecting return path electrodes and recording electrodes conductively through a printing and recording medium. Recording electrodes, a drive circuit and connector electrodes are all disposed integrally on a flexible insulating film as a main head part which is disposed on a rigid support member through an elastic member.

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.
