The optical unit forms an electrostatic latent image by applying scanning light onto the photosensitive member charged by the charger device from above at an angle. The developing device forms a toner image by developing the electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive member with toner. The transfer charger device transfers the toner image formed on the photosensitive member onto a transfer charger sheet. The main body accommodates the sheet feeding section at a rear section, and the optical unit in front of the feeding section, both of which are vertically arranged. The photosensitive member and the developing device are integrated into the image formation unit, which is detachably set in the main body. The toner box of the developing unit has a rear surface portion shaped to correspond to the optical unit, and a front surface portion shaped to correspond to an optical path through which the scanning light output from the optical unit is applied onto the photosensitive surface of the electrostatic latent image carrier.

摘要:
A nozzle plate in which a nozzle through which fluid can pass is formed is prepared, and an insulator layer is located in layer on the nozzle plate except a location of the nozzle. An electrode plate is provided so as to cover the insulator layer, and a valve beam made of a conductive substance is located in an opposing relationship to the nozzle plate. A valve for opening and closing said nozzle is formed at a yieldable portion of the valve beam opposing to the nozzle. Upon energization of the electrode plate and the valve beam of a valve element thus produced, the valve is attracted toward the electrode plate to open or close the valve. Binary control of the valve to fully open or fully close the nozzle and infinite control of the valve to infinitely open or close the nozzle can be readily attained in the valve element.
