    Abstract: A sheet conveying device includes a correcting unit. The correcting unit corrects displacement of a sheet conveyed from an upstream side conveying path, and conveys the sheet to a downstream side conveying path. The correcting unit includes a first conveying part conveying the sheet, a first moving part moving a first frame supporting the first conveying part and a detecting part detecting a side end edge of the sheet at a reference position without displacement. The first conveying part stops conveyance of the sheet when a leading end of the sheet reaches the detecting part. While the driving of the first conveying part is stopped, the first moving part moves the first frame to move the sheet, and stops movement of the first frame, when detection result of the detecting part is changed, to position the side end edge to the reference position to correct displacement of the sheet.

    Abstract: A holding member of a sheet feeder includes a locking member engageable with a part of a pinion gear and holds the pinion gear and a sensor member. The holding member is detachably attachable to the sheet storage portion. The pinion gear and a pair of rack members are meshed with the holding member attached to a sheet storage portion. The holding member holds the pinion gear movably in an axial direction of the rotary shaft so that the pinion gear is displaceable between a first position where the rotation of the pinion gear is regulated and a second position where the pinion gear is rotatable. The pinion gear is located at the first position with the holding member detached from the sheet storage portion and located at the second position with the holding member attached to the sheet storage portion.

    Abstract: An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles. Each toner particle includes a toner core containing a binder resin, a shell layer coating a surface of the toner core, and particulates having a higher hardness than the shell layer. Each shell layer contains a thermosetting resin, and the particulates are present within the shell layer. Preferably, the content of the particulates having a higher hardness than the shell layer is 0.1% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less with respect to a total amount of the toner particles.

    Abstract: A fixing device includes a heat rotor with a heat source, a pressure rotor forming a fixing nip with the heat rotor and expandable by heat given from the heat rotor, a drive section configured to rotate the pressure rotor, a control section configured to control the drive section, thus controlling a rotational speed of the pressure rotor, and a heat quantity detecting section configured to determine a quantity of heat from the heat rotor to the pressure rotor since a reference time point when the fixing device transitions from outage to operating state. The control section performs a first rotation control for allowing the pressure rotor to rotate at a first rotational speed after the heat quantity detecting section detects the quantity of heat has reached a predetermined specified value and at a second rotational speed before the heat quantity detecting section detects the specified value has been reached.

    Abstract: A fixing device includes a pressing roller, a rotating member, a heating means, a pressing mechanism, a separation member, a first biasing member and a moving mechanism. The pressing roller has a core metal and an elastic layer. The separation member includes a contact part. The first biasing member is configured to bias the separation member to be rotated in a direction in which the contact part is butted against the rotating member. The first biasing member includes a first end portion by which biasing force is acted on the separation member and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. The moving mechanism is configured to move the second end portion of the first biasing member in a direction in which the biasing force is decreased, as the core metal approaches the rotating member owing to decrease in rigidity of the elastic layer of the pressing roller.
