Abstract:
A sheet feed cassette having: a main body to be set in a body of an image forming apparatus; a first press-up member configured to support print media stacked thereon; a first elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to make the first press-up member press up the print media; a second press-up member; a second elastic member configured to apply an elastic force to make the second press-up member press up the first press-up member or the print media; an adjusting mechanism configured to adjust the force of the second press-up member to press up the first press-up member or the print media in accordance with a size of the print media; and a regulatory mechanism configured to prevent the second press-up member from pressing up the first press-up member or the print media when the main body is detached from the body of the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus acquires front and back images to be formed on paper and divides the front and back images of paper into a first image formed a part of the front image, a second image formed of the remaining part of the front image and a part of the back image, and a third image formed of the remaining part of the back image. The image forming apparatus forms the first and second images on the paper folded at the first position, and forms the third image on the paper folded at the second position. The image forming apparatus forms the first to third images such that the part of the front image and the remaining part of the front image constitute the front image and the part of the back image and the remaining part of the back image constitute the back image when the paper is unfolded.
