摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photoconductor that rotates about a first rotation axis; and a charging roller that rotates about a second rotation axis which is parallel to the first rotation axis, wherein the charging roller includes a conductive roller portion that extends in parallel with the first rotation axis and contains an ion-conductive agent, a flange portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the conductive roller portion further to the outside than an image forming area of the photoconductor in the second rotation axis direction so as to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction of the conductive roller portion into a flange shape, and an insulating elastic layer that coats the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion and has an elasticity higher than that of a photoconductive surface of the photoconductor.

A CPU controls a shutter of a developing device so as to enable movement of a developer between a first chamber and a second chamber that store the developer. The CPU rotates a developing roller and mixers of the first and second chambers for a predetermined time T, and stirs and conveys the developer. Thereby, the developer is moved from the first chamber into the second chamber. The amount of movement of the developer is understandable from the rotational speed and shape of each mixer. Hence, the amount of developer, which is moved from the first chamber to the second chamber, is estimated in advance, and about half the developer in the first chamber is replaced.

In a color image forming apparatus of the invention, a developing roller of a developing device includes a magnet roller that is configured such that a developer supply pole, a developer convey pole and a developer release pole are properly arranged and fixed. The developer roller also includes an outer cylindrical roller that is formed of an electrically conductive material such as aluminum. A surface of the cylindrical roller is processed to have irregularities. Using the developing roller, simultaneous development/cleaning is executed. Thus, 100% of toner contributes to image formation, and no waste toner is produced. Post-transfer residual toner on a photoconductor body is efficiently recovered to the developing roller, and occurrence of an image defect such as development memory can be prevented.

摘要:
A cleanerless cartridge in which a photoconductor body and a charger are integrated, and a cleaner-equipped cartridge in which a photoconductor body, a charger and a cleaner are integrated are prepared. An image forming apparatus body is configured such that the cartridges are attachable to first- to fourth-stage image forming sections. When the cleanerless cartridge is attached to the first- to fourth-stage image forming sections, an image forming operation is controlled under an image formation condition for a cleanerless process. When the cleaner-equipped cartridge is attached to the first- to fourth-stage image forming sections, an image forming operation is controlled under an image formation condition for a cleaner-equipped process.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus comprises an image carrier which retains an electrostatic latent image corresponding to an original image, a developing device which sticks a toner to the electrostatic latent image to develop a toner image on the image carrier, an intermediate transferrer to which the toner image on the image carrier is transferred, a secondary transfer roller which transfers the toner image on the intermediate transferrer onto paper, and a cleaning member which cleans the secondary transfer roller. The secondary transfer roller can move to a first position to contact the intermediate transferrer, and to a second position to be separated from the intermediate transferrer, and the secondary transfer roller contacts the cleaning member at the second position.

According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a photoconductive member, an intermediate transfer belt, a transfer and fixing belt, a fixing and pressing roller, and a heating device. The heating device heats a toner image on the transfer and fixing belt between a first toner image transfer position for transfer from the intermediate transfer belt onto the transfer and fixing belt and a second toner image transfer position for transfer from the transfer and fixing belt onto a sheet in a moving direction of a belt surface of the transfer and fixing belt and, at the same time, heats the sheet conveyed to the second toner image transfer position.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus that forms an image using a photoconductor body includes a switching unit which effects switching between a state in which a cleaner is operated for the photoconductor body, and a state in which the cleaner is not operated for the photoconductor body. A control unit is provided which controls a setting change of an image formation condition between a case where the cleaner is operated by the switching unit, and a case where the cleaner is not operated by the switching unit. The switching unit includes a detection unit which detects the kind of paper on which an image is formed, and the switching unit switches on/off the cleaner in accordance with a detection result of the detection unit.
