摘要:
An image recording apparatus using an elongated photosensitive recording medium stored in a sheet cartridge in a rolled fashion. The apparatus provides an exposure stand and a reversal sheet feeding arrangement for reversely feeding completely unexposed microcapsule sheet to a position upstream of the exposure stand for the purpose of a subsequent exposure operation. A control means is further provided for automatically starting the subsequent copying operation. In one embodiment, the control means stores therein a copy start signal and automatically starts the next copying operation upon completion of the reversal sheet feeding operation. The copy start signal is generated by the manipulation of the copy start key manipulated at the reversal sheet feeding phase. In another embodiment of this invention, the control means forcibly stops the reversal sheet feeding operation in response to the copy start signal so as to automatically start the copying operation. The copy start signal is generated by the manipulation of the copy start key manipulated at the reversal sheet feeding phase.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus having a sheet cartridge in which a rolled photosensitive recording medium is accommodated. The sheet cartridge has a sheet retaining device for preventing the recording medium from being retracted into a cartridge casing. The retaining device also provides a light shielding member. The image recording apparatus also includes structure for preventing the cartridge from being removed in a case where a residual recording medium is still rolled in the cartridge casing. The image recording apparatus is provided with a wiper member for removing dusts deposited on a surface of a feed roller. Further, a sensor element is provided for detecting non-rotation of a takeup shaft or a slack of the recording medium.

An image processing apparatus, including an irradiating device for emitting an image radiation representative of an original image, a projecting device having a viewing screen which is irradiated by the image radiation from the irradiating device and which provides a view of a visible image represented by the image radiation, and an exposing device for exposing a photosensitive recording medium to the image radiation from the irradiating device to produce a visible image represented by said image radiation. The apparatus further includes an optical guide device for directing the image radiation from the irradiating device to the projecting device and the exposing device.

Disclosed is a method of recording a picture onto a photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper, which comprises the steps of: forming in advance a mask original form of a film having a light-transmitting portion and a non-light-transmitting portion corresponding to information of the picture; exposing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper through the mask original form to thereby form a latent image on the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper; and pressure-fixing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper carrying the latent image formed thereon. Further disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the above method, which comprises: a mask forming means for forming a mask original form of a film having a light-transmitting portion and a non-light-transmitting portion corresponding to picture information of an original picture; an exposure means for exposing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper through the mask original form formed by the mask forming means; and a pressure-fixing means for pressing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper having a latent image formed by the exposure means to thereby perform pressure-development.

摘要:
A thermal fixing device for an image forming apparatus is disclosed which comprises a heater for heating a piece of developer sheet to thermally fix and accelerate coloring of the image on the developer sheet, a sheet delivery path along which the developer sheet is delivered, a cover casing for substantially covering the heater, and a suction/discharge unit for sucking/discharging a gas generated from the developer sheet by the heater. The suction/discharge unit is connected to the cover casing.

A thermal fixing unit provided with gas purification means for use in an image recording medium. The gas purification means traps gaseous component released from a developer sheet upon heating thereof. The purification means includes a duct body disposed to surround a main frame of the thermal fixing unit, a support body having one end connected to the duct body, a fluid passage being defined between the main frame and the duct body, and the fluid passage being connected between the one end of the support body and sheet inlet and sheet outlet of the thermal fixing unit, the gas venting fan rotatably provided at the support body for sucking fluid in the main frame through the sheet inlet, the sheet outlet and the fluid passage, and a filter member disposed in the support body for trapping the gaseous component released from the developer sheet.
摘要:
A multi-beam scanner has two light emitting points ch1, ch2 and an optical system. The light emitting points ch1, ch2 are separated by a distance &Dgr;along a depth-of-focus direction. The longitudinal magnification &agr;, or the image-side numerical aperture NA, of the optical system is set so that the surface to be scanned of a photosensitive drum is positioned within a range where the depths of focus de of the light beams from the two light emitting points ch1, ch2 overlap. The multi-beam scanner can focus the light beams onto the surface of the photosensitive drum at all the scanning positions even when the optical system has curvature of field.

In a sheet heating device for heat-fixing an image on a sheet comprising a sheet guide plate for guiding a sheet therethrough, a pair of sheet feed rollers provided at the upstream of the sheet guide plate for supplying the sheet to the sheet guide plate, a pair of sheet discharge rollers provided at the downstream of the sheet guide plate for discharging the sheet to an outside, and a cover case including a heater for heating air and heating the sheet with the heated air and a blower fan for circulating the heated air through the inner portion of the cover case and the sheet guide plate, plural capillary projections having a lower thermal conductivity than the sheet guide plate are provided at least on the front surface of the sheet guide plate to thereby prevent the sheet from directly contacting the sheet guide plate, or an arcuate member is provided in the cover case to homogeneously guide the heated air over the sheet guide plate to thereby homogeneously heat-fix an image on the sheet.
摘要:
In a thermal fixing device for use in a recording apparatus, an image on a recording medium is thermally fixed while passing through a nip between a pair of rollers. In order to prevent the recording medium from being wound around one of the rollers disposed to contact with the image formed surface of the recording medium, a diameter of that roller is made smaller than a diameter of the remainder, whereby a resilient force of the recording medium produced when the latter is curved along the surface of the smaller diameter roller overcomes an adhesion force that the image formed surface of the recording medium adheres to the smaller diameter roller.
