摘要:
A method of manufacturing a developing agent, comprising the steps of forming a aggregate containing resin particles and a colorant, forming a dispersion by dispersing the aggregate, a first polymerizable monomer, and a semi-polymerizable monomer in a solvent, the semi-polymerizable monomer being obtained by partially polymerizing a second polymerizable monomer, forming a composite seed containing the aggregate, the first polymerizable monomer, and the semi-polymerizable monomer by stirring the dispersion to granulate the aggregate and polymerizing the composite seed in the presence of a soap-free polymerization initiator.
摘要:
An electronograph developing agent containing polymerized particles of non-uniformly-shaped aggregated materials obtained by aggregated of colloidal oil drops, each having a developing-agent core made of a polymerized substantially spherical resin fine particle and a coloring agent adhered onto the resin fine particle by a static force, and a monomer for swelling the developing-agent core.

A developing device includes a developer tank that contains a developer including a toner and a carrier, a developing agent supplier that develops a latent image by using the toner contained in the developer tank, a discharge port that is provided in a side surface of the developer tank and discharges the developer, and a discharge assisting member that protrudes from a downstream side of the discharge port in a direction of flow of the developer in the developer tank and in a direction crossing the direction of the flow of the developer.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a reducing plate that dams up a part of a developer scraped up by a blade is provided. The reducing plate suppresses swell of the developer held up by a discharge mixer from fluctuating according to the rotation of the blade. Fluctuation in an excess developer discharged from a discharge port is suppressed and replace a deteriorated carrier in a development container with a new carrier little by little.

According to an embodiment of the invention, degradation of carrier in a case is detected from the number of rotations of a developing roller. A predetermined quantity of carrier is replenished every time the developing roller reaches a predetermined number of rotations. An excess developer caused by an increase in bulk through carrier replenishment is discharged from a developer discharge port. The degraded old carrier in the case is replaced by new carrier little by little.
摘要:
A fixing device according to the present invention includes a fixing belt and heats up a record medium having a developed image, a pressure roller pinches and conveys the record medium together with the fixing belt and fixes the developed image, a heating roller contacts the fixing belt and heats up the fixing belt at a specified temperature, and a heater that is arranged in the heating roller and displaced toward the radius direction of the contact side with the fixing belt from the rotational center of the heating roller and heats up the heating roller. Further, in the heating roller, the heater is arranged so as to be displaced toward the radius direction at the upstream side of the transfer direction of the fixing belt from the central position of the contact area of the fixing belt and the heating roller.
