摘要:
In an electrophotographic recording device which includes a number of consumable parts, there is provided a first memory for storing a currently integrated total number of prints, and a number of prints at replacement of each consumable part. A second memory stores a number of lifetime prints, which is a conversion of the life of each part into a number of prints. A processor performs a first calculation to calculate a number of prints for replaced consumable parts after such replacement and a second calculation to calculate a wear rate of the replaced consumable parts from the number of lifetime prints read out from the second memory, and from the number of prints calculated by the first calculation. An indication section indicates the wear rate obtained from the second calculation. The number of prints stored in the first memory for the consumable parts at replacement is written into the current total number of prints.

An LED array print head for an electrophotographic printer includes: LED array device packages each being loaded with an array of LEDs individually connected to a first major surface of the LED package by first solder joints; LED driver packages each loaded with a driver circuit connected to a first major surface of the driver package by second solder joints; and an optically transparent insulative substrate with a first major surface carrying conductive leads adapted to electrically connect the LEDs and driver circuits. The LED and driver packages are mounted on the substrate in such an orientation that the first major surfaces of the packages face the first major surface of the substrate and the first and second solder joints are connected to the conductive leads of the substrate.

A multivoltage power supply which can output a plurality of high voltages in parallel. The voltage values of the respective outputs are feedback to an A/D converter. Each feedback signal is converted to a digital signal and the difference between the digital signal and a corresponding predetermined output voltage is then calculated in the form of a digital value. This digital value is inputted to a corresponding auto-reload timer, whereby a pulse signal having a pulse width corresponding to the digital value is output at a predetermined frequency.

An electrophotographic printer capable of changing its printing speed includes a change signal generating circuit for generating a speed change signal, a head scan cycle setting circuit for setting a cycle time of a scan line of an LED array head, and a motor speed setting circuit for setting a rotation speed of a photosensitive drum. Since the head scan cycle setting circuit and the motor speed setting circuit are activated in response to the speed change signal outputted from the change signal generating circuit, the operations of the photosensitive drum and the LED array head are synchronized with each other, so that the printer can print a fine image on a recording medium. The printer control unit including those circuits also includes control circuits for controlling a constant current supplied to a transfer roller, and for controlling a temperature of fixing rollers, to avoid unevenness of printing.

A print head for non-impact printer is, for example, an LED head which comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements, LED drivers for selectively causing a drive current to flow into the light-emitting elements on the basis of the print data, a non-volatile memory for storing the modification data related to the value of the drive current. The modification data are determined in advance at the manufacturing process on the basis of the measured result when the light-emitting elements were driven by the LED driver so that all the light-emitting elements emit substantially same amount of light at the printing operation.

A lens array unit includes first and second lens array plates that oppose each other on opposite sides of a support member. Each of the lens array plates supports a set of lenses that are arranged in one direction and that have optical axes extending in a direction perpendicular to the one direction. The bending rigidity of the support member in the direction that the optical axes extend is higher than the bending rigidity of the first lens array plate in that direction.

A lens array unit includes first lens array plates, second lens array plates and a support member. Each of the first lens array plate has multiple first lenses thereon. Each of the first lenses has a first optical axis that extends in a first direction and the first lenses are arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first. Each of the second lens array plates has multiple second lenses thereon. Each of the second lenses has a second optical axis that extends in the first direction and the second lenses are arranged in the second. The support member has opposite first and second sides. The support member extends in the second direction to support the first lens array plates on the first side and support the second lens array plates on a second side so that each of the first lens array plates opposes a different corresponding one of the second lens array plates. The first lens array plates are arranged on the first side of the support member in the second direction and the second lens array plates are arranged on the second side of the support member in the second direction.

A three-dimensional image displaying apparatus includes a display panel formed of a plurality of pixels having a plurality of light emitting points arranged with a specific interval; a lens panel formed of a plurality of lenses arranged corresponding to the pixels for forming a virtual image of the light emitting points of each of the pixels; a drive unit for driving the light emitting points to emit light according to first drive data specifying the pixels and the light emitting points; and a transportation unit for transporting one of the display panel and the lens panel according to second drive data specifying a distance between the display panel and the lens panel. In the three-dimensional image displaying apparatus, specific ones of the lenses form the virtual images at a same position, thereby displaying one three-dimensional pixel.

A toner is used in an image-forming apparatus that incrporates a toner-collecting member. The toner-collecting member collects residual toner on a surface of an image-bearing body. The toner includes a spherical toner having at least a binder resin, and an irregularly-shaped particles mixed with the spherical toner. The irregularly shaped particle has an average diameter in the range of 1-50 μm. The average diameter is 14 to 10% of the diameter of a spot printed by the image-forming apparatus. The irregularly shaped particle is a toner having the same color as the spherical toner. The irregularly shaped particle is a colorless toner. The irregularly shaped particle is charged opposite in polarity to the spherical toner. The irregularly has a roundness of 0.85 or less.
