摘要:
A color image recording device for forming a mask member having a positioning mask thereon and exposing a photosensitive medium through the mask member to light to form a color image on the photosensitive medium, comprising belt for carrying the mask member thereon, two belt supporting rollers spaced at an interval and independently movable in a feeding direction of the mask member and in a vertical direction thereto, stepping motors for moving the belt supporting rollers, a sensor for detecting the position of the positioning mark and a control unit for controlling the stepping motors to register the mask member. According to one aspect of this invention, the stepping motors are controlled by the control unit to change a feeding speed of the mask member at two or more stages in accordance with an output signal from the sensor by switching the excited phases of the stepping motors or by changing an electric power supplied to at least one of the stepping motors.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a photosensitive recording medium by exposing the photosensitive recording medium to light by way of a mask member which is placed on an exposure station. The apparatus comprises a first transport device which transports the mask member through the exposure station and a second transport device which transports the photosensitive recording medium through the exposure station. A first exposure unit irradiates light upon the photosensitive record medium by way of said mask member at the exposure station to record an image formed on the mask member on the photosensitive recording medium. Alternatively, when a mask member is not used, a second exposure unit directs light through an auxiliary member having a light-passing image thereon to project and record the light-passing image onto the photosensitive recording medium.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus using a set of mask members and having mask position adjusting device. A transparent mask member supporting plate is provided at the exposure position. Each of the mask member is delivered upon the mask member supporting plate by two pairs of rollers. In this mask delivery, a mask image surface faces upwardly. An elongated photosensitive recording medium is positioned immediately above the mask member supporting plate so as to guide the medium at the exposure position. Further, an exposure device including a light source and color filters is positioned below the mask member supporting plate. The mask member undergoes positional adjustment at the exposure position. For this, the mask member supporting plate is supported on a positioning frame which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the mask member moving direction. The position of the mask member with respect to the running direction thereof is controllable by controlling rotations of two pairs of rollers, and the mask position with respect to its tranverse direction is controllable by controlling the movement of the positioning frame.

An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a photosensitive recording medium by exposing light by way of one of plural mask members which are selectively and consecutively placed on an exposure position. The apparatus includes a plurality of holding or retention positions linearly connected to the exposure position to which the mask members are selectively displaced. A transport device transports the mask members from the exposure position to the holding positions and vice versa.
摘要:
In forming a color picture image on a photosensitive recording medium by exposing through a masking master plate, the plate is conveyed by a conveyor belt into an exposure device where the plate must be registered in a specified position to avoid a color shift in the image formed on the photosensitive recording medium. A positional error or deviation of the plate is detected by reading out a location mark on the plate by a plurality of sensors. According to the outputs from the sensors, the conveyor belt is moved in a longitudinal path by one or two motors to correct a longitudinal deviation, and two longitudinally spaced portions of a belt support unit are moved, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal path, independently and respectively by other two motors to correct a transverse deviation and/or a skew.
摘要:
An apparatus for controlling an operating speed of an electrically controlled device including an electrically operated member. The apparatus includes an error signal generator for generating an error signal indicative of an error between an actual and a target value of the operating speed, a reference signal generator for generating a reference signal, a comparator for generating an output signal based on a result of comparison between the error and reference signals, and an energy control device for controlling an energy supplied to the electrically controlled device by controlling the duty cycle of an electric current applied to the electrically operated member such that the energy varies with the output signal of the comparator. A device is provided for changing the reference signal depending upon a load currently applied to the electrically controlled device.

The pressure between a developing roller and a photosensitive drum is set to 0.24 MPa. Because the pressure is smaller than 0.31 MPa, if the potential difference ΔV between the non-image forming part on the photosensitive drum and the electrically-charged polymer toner on the surface of the developing roller is at the preset proper voltage (300 volts), pressure fogging will be prevented. Because the pressure is 0.24 MPa or less, even if the potential difference varies within the range of 200 volts to 400 volts that occurs in practice, pressure fogging will be prevented. By resetting the pressure to 0.22 MPa, even if the potential difference ΔV varies in a wider voltage range of 100 to 400 volts, pressure fogging will be prevented. In this way, by setting the pressure between the developing roller and the photosensitive drum appropriately, pressure fogging can be prevented even when using the opposite-direction developing method and polymer toner.

A replaceable unit is detachably attached into an image forming apparatus. The replaceable unit includes: a first cover member provided with a through hole that indicates a direction of the attachment and the detachment of the replaceable unit with respect to the image forming apparatus; and a second cover member having a color different from a color of the first cover member, and being formed to block the through hole from inner side of the replaceable unit when the first cover member is attached to the second cover member.
摘要:
During a first rotation of a photoconductor, latent electrostatic images for color correction processing patterns are formed on the photoconductor, and the latent electrostatic images are developed into the color correction processing patterns in each of four colors, and then densities of the patterns on the photoconductor are detected. During a second rotation of the photoconductor, each color of the patterns is recovered back into a developer device.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of development units having developing-agent carriers which are provided in correspondence to three or more developing agents, and developing electrostatic latent images on surfaces of image carriers to form developing-agent images on the image carriers; and a recovery unit that recovers the developing agent adhering to the developing-agent carrier during non-development operation. The recovery unit is provided for at least the development unit other than the development unit that transfers the developing-agent image first in sequence among the plurality of development units. When one of the plurality of development units performs development by the developing agent whose charge capability is higher than that of the developing agent of the development unit that transfers the developing-agent image later in sequence, the recovery unit starts recovery of the developing agent or performs recovery operation for improving recovery capability of the developing agent.
