摘要:
Image forming equipment for applying heat to a charged image carrier to attenuate part of the potential of the image carrier in order to form a latent image on the image carrier. The surface of a dielectric image carrier is charged by a charger and a thermal print head is driven in response to image information in order to form a latent image on the charged surface of the image carrier. A developing roller applies a liquid developer to the latent image and presses it against the portion where the potential has been lowered. The resulting toner image formed on the image carrier is fixed on a paper sheet fed from a paper feeding device or is directly fixed on the image carrier. The image carrier is formed of polyethylene terephthalate or a mixture of polybutylene terephthalate and silicon dioxide.

A recording apparatus having an image carrier and a heated intermediate transfer member is disclosed. The improvement is the addition of a shielding member of porous metal for preventing water vapor and/or heat from reaching the surface of the image carrier, wherein the shielding member has a trapping capability for condensing and trapping the water vapor.
摘要:
A recording apparatus wherein an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image retaining member is developed into a visible image by means of a developer transported on the surface of a developer carrier having at least a magnet movably provided therein. At least a part of the electrostatic latent image retaining member is constituted by a magnetic material.
摘要:
An intermediate transfer member for transferring a toner image on a carrier which comprises an addition polymerization type silicone rubber.

摘要:
An electrophotographic reproducing machine in which the bias voltage applied to the sleeve is set at such a level as to substantially nullify the developing current which is produced as a result of induction of charge in the developer in accordance with the potential of the electrostatic latent image when the document is a blank. The setting of the bias voltage is made in accordance with an electrostatic latent image formed as a result of the projection of a leading projecting portion provided on a document glass plate in contact with the document mounting position, the projection of the leading projecting portion being made in advance to the projection of the image on the document to form the electrostatic latent image of a potential substantially equal to that corresponding to the blank portion of the document.
