    摘要: An image adjusting apparatus being provided in a copying machine capable of performing a copy of an original by using a photosensitive body in two or more copying modes, includes a unit for sensing a toner density of an image formed on the photosensitive body, a unit for deriving a function in accordance with each of the two or more copying modes if a control voltage influencing the toner density is changed, and a unit for setting the control voltage to be a voltage value obtained based on a predetermined reference toner density and the function derived by the deriving unit. The function stands for a relation between the changed control voltage and the toner density sensed by the sensing unit.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus is designed to compensate for voltage to be applied to an exposure lamp and a charger in accordance with changes in the density of a toner image formed on a photoreceptor that occur from its initial state to its final state after an image forming operation. More specifically, the density of a reference toner image is measured by a toner-density sensor. The amount of change in the density is measured beginning with its initial state by a subtracter, and the amount of compensation for the voltage required for obtaining the optimum image quality is found. By using these amounts of compensation as teaching data, learning is made as to the relationship between the amount of change in the density and the amount of compensation in a neurocomputer. Upon forming an image, the neurocomputer executes operations in accordance with the contents of the learning based on an inputted amount of change in density, and finds an appropriate amount of compensation. With this arrangement, it is possible to constantly obtain copied images having stable image quality, and to lower the cost of image forming apparatuses by reducing the number of parts used for the sensors or other devices.

    摘要: A color balance adjusting apparatus is used for a full color copier in which an original image is illuminated by a light source; the illuminated image is exposed onto a photoreceptor to form electrostatic latent images corresponding to first, second and third colors for creating a color image; and each of the formed electrostatic latent images is developed into a visualized toner image. The color balance adjusting apparatus includes an infrared sensor for detecting toner density of the toner image formed with a toner having any one color of the first, second and third colors. The apparatus further includes automatic adjustment means which determines a relation of light intensity to toner density detected for one color by varying light intensity of said light source, and which determines optimal light intensity for the other two colors as predetermined functions of obtained optimal light intensity. Using this apparatus, automatic adjustment of the color balance for each copy mode can be effected in a short time with lesser consumption of electricity and supplies.

    摘要: A developing device having a reduced size in the horizontal direction and in which a developing agent is transported with stirring along a circulating route inside a developing tank to effectively mix newly added toner therewith and stir the mixture. A developing tank for storing developing agent therein is horizontally divided with a partition member thereby providing an upper chamber and a lower chamber. A developer roller and a stirring roller are disposed in the lower chamber. Two screw rollers are disposed in the upper chamber. An inlet opening is formed between an end of the partition member and a regulating member for restricting a layer if the developing agent adsorbed to the developing roller. A developing agent removed by the restricting member is fed through an inlet opening to the screw rollers in the upper chamber. The developing agent is mixed with fresh toner supplied through a supply inlet and transported with being stirred by the screw roller in its axial direction. Then, the developing agent is transferred to the screw roller disposed parallel to the screw roller and it is further transported and returned to the stirring roller in the lower chamber through a return port provided opposite to the screw roller. The compact construction of the developing device is realized by arranging screw rollers for stirring and transporting toner in the upper chamber.

    摘要: A high density detecting toner pattern is formed on a photosensitive body and a high density correction is effected by comparing a value detected by a reflection sensor with a high density reference value so as to maintain an image density at a specific level. An image density correcting section adopts a result of the preceding high density correction as the high density reference value, and compares the same with a result of a current high density correction. The image density correcting section effects the half-tone density correction only when a difference reaches or exceeds a preset difference reference value by forming a half-tone density detecting toner pattern on the photosensitive body and comparing a value detected by the reflection sensor with a half-tone reference value. Consequently, it has become possible to provide an image forming apparatus which can maintain a density output of an entire image at a specific level for any kind of images including solid, line, and half-tone, etc. while shortening a time required for the density correction and reducing a quantity of toner consumed for the density correction.

    摘要: A test patch image is formed and the density thereof is detected to maintain the image quality at a constant level. One of the image forming conditions, for example, the developing bias voltage of the developing unit inside the image forming apparatus that serves as a density controller, and is controlled in accordance with the detection result. Here, a humidity sensor for detecting the environmental change, that is, the humidity, is provided inside the apparatus, and the reference value of the toner mixing ratio is changed and corrected while the developing unit is operating when the humidity sensor detects a change in humidity. However, the toner mixing ratio is maintained and neither changed nor corrected when the density of the test patch image remains at the same level, so that the developing bias voltage is not corrected. Consequently, the correction of the toner mixing ratio is neither changed nor corrected in response to the change in humidity alone, thereby making it possible to maintain a stable image quality state.

    摘要: Developing devices are provided adjacent to a light sensitive element. An intermediate transfer drum is provided adjacent to the light sensitive elements. After exposure of the light sensitive element, a first color or third color image is formed on the light sensitive element. On the other hand, after exposure of the light sensitive element, a second color or fourth color image can be formed on the light sensitive element. The first color image is transferred from the transfer unit to the intermediate transfer drum at the first transfer portion, and the second color image is transferred from the transfer unit at the second transfer portion so as to be superimposed on the first color image. Similarly, the third color image is transferred so as to be superimposed on the second image and the fourth color image is transferred so as to be superimposed on the third color image to the intermediate transfer drum. Accordingly, the first to fourth color images are superimposed. Thereby, downsizing of the device and cost reduction are achieved and image formation speed is facilitated.
