摘要:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording sheet comprises a photosensitive drum for holding a toner image thereon, in developer for forming the toner image on the photosensitive drum, an image transfer device for electrostatically transferring the toner image from the photosensitive drum to the recording sheet, and a sheet separator for separating the recording sheet from the photosensitive drum as the recording sheet advances. The sheet is controlled to generate a discharge voltage which includes separator at least alternating currents at various duty factors.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus and a developing method thereof are provided. The electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes an image carrier body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing roller which faces the image carrier body and supplies toner to the electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier body, and an anti-toner-dispersion element which faces an outer circumferential surface of the image carrier body between an exposing section where the electrostatic latent image is formed and a developing section where the electrostatic latent image is developed by the developing roller. A collection bias is applied to the anti-toner-dispersion element to collect dispersed toner from the developing roller.

An electrophotographic image forming device is provided which includes an image holder on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. A magnetic roller has a magnetic brush including nonmagnetic toner and a magnetic carrier using a magnetic force. Donor rollers are provided which have toner layers that are received from the magnetic roller on an outer circumference of each of the donor rollers. The donor rollers are located opposite to the image holder to develop the toner onto the electrostatic latent image.

A color image forming apparatus for forming a color image. An image retainer is provided for carrying the color image, and a charger charges a surface of the image retainer. A latent image former forms a latent image on the charged surface of the image retainer, and a multicolor developer develops the latent image. A black developer develops the latent image. A transfer sheet conveyer conveys a transfer sheet and transfers the developed latent image onto the transfer sheet. A cleaner cleans a residual developer on the surface of the image retainer. The image retainer, either one of the black developer or the multicolor developer, and the cleaner are formed as a detachable processing cartridge, and the rest of the black developer or the multicolor developer is detachable to the body of the color image forming apparatus.
摘要:
A color image forming method and apparatus for sequentially forming toner images of a plurality of colors on a photosensitive body so as to form a color toner image. The method and apparatus maintain a substantially constant developing bias so that a first exposure potential of a photosensitive surface and a second exposure potential of the photosensitive surface are substantially equal to one another.

A color image reader for discriminating a color component of a light image, comprising a first photoelectric transfer device for transferring visible range light to an electric signal, a second photoelectric transfer device for transferring infrared range light to another electric signal, and a discriminator for discriminating between a chromatic portion of the light image and an achromatic portion of the light image according to the two different electric signals.
摘要:
A transfer device of the type having a belt which is stretched around a driving roller and an electric potential-applied driven roller, whereby the transfer device transfers a toner image from an image carrier onto a recording paper, and conveys the recording paper. The cleaning device is positioned so that its blade contacts the belt at a point a little downstream of the point where the belt separates from the driving roller.
摘要:
A toner density control device of an electrophotographic recording apparatus in which development is conducted by a plurality of developing units with two-component developer wherein a toner density detecting device can detect the density of toner loaded in the plurality of developing units according to the variation of magnetic permeability of the developer. The detecting device is composed of a sensor provided to each developing unit, and a signal processing unit to process the output of the sensor selected by a selector. And toner is supplied according to the difference between the detected value of the detecting device and the reference value which is previously established.
摘要:
A method of cleaning off a residual toner from the surface of an image forming member in an electrophotography apparatus comprises applying an alternating electric field between the surface of the image forming member and a cleaning member, for causing the residual toner to move from the surface of the image forming member to the cleaning member and to adhere on the cleaning member.
摘要:
A corona discharge method wherein corona ion flow having direct current component with a polarity opposite to an electrification polarity of toner on a transfer material is applied on the transfer material such that a density of the ion flow on incoming half area of corona discharge area is more sparsely than that of the ion flow on outgoing half area, in order to transfer the toner from an image receptor onto the transfer material.
