摘要:
An imaging apparatus such that residual toner on a transfer/conveyer mechanism such as a transfer belt and an intermediate transfer material is effectively removable. High-tension voltage opposite in magnetic polarity (plus) to the charged toner and a photosensitive drum is applied to a discharger 15 provided ahead of a drive member 12 for driving a transfer belt 6. The residual toner on the transfer belt 6 is removed by a brush 21, and the residual foreign substances come in contact with the photosensitive drum 1 and move onto the photosensitive drum 1 before a printing operation is started. The foreign substances are then removed by a photosensitive drum cleaner.

A first-side toner image 25 is formed on a photo receptor 2 and transferred on a dielectric belt 19. A second-side toner image 18 is formed on the photo receptor 2. The two toner images 25 and 18 are simultaneously transferred on both sides of a print paper 26, and fixed thereon by paired heat rolls 30 and 31.

In an electrostatic both-side printing system, a first image forming unit is provided upstream of an image printing medium when viewed in the transporting direction of the image printing medium, and a second image forming unit is provided downstream of the image printing medium. A medium transporting path for transporting the image printing medium is formed between the first and the second image forming units. A first transferring unit, located facing the first image forming unit with the medium transporting path intervening therebetween, for applying no charge onto the rear side of the image printing medium, which does not face the first image forming unit. A second transferring unit being located facing the second image forming unit with the image printing medium with the medium transporting path intervening therebetween, in a state that the second transferring unit is apart from a first toner image formed on the image printing medium by the first image forming unit. In the both-side printing system thus constructed, the first and the second image forming units, and the first and the second transferring units cooperate to form first and second toner images on both sides of the image printing medium, the first and the second toner images being opposite in polarity.

摘要:
In a method for electrophotography comprising an electrostatic transfer process, after an electrostatic latent image formed on a surface of a photoconductive and photosensitive member has been developed with toner, the surface of the photoconductive and photosensitive member and a toner image are charged at the same polarity as the electrostatic latent image and thereafter the toner image is electrostatically transferred onto a recording medium to obtain a record.

Apparatus for monitoring the concentration of toner in a mass of developer mix including the toner and carrier particles, having a sampling cylinder inside which the developer mix flows. An accumulating cylinder is disposed over the sampling cylinder. At the upper end part of the accumulating cylinder, a guide plate is disposed by which the developer mix is supplied to the accumulating cylinder. At the lower end part of the accumulating cylinder, a developer mix supplying roll is disposed by which the developer mix at a fixed flow rate is supplied to the upper end opening of the sampling cylinder. On the other hand, at the lower end opening of the sampling cylinder, there is disposed a magnet roll by which the developer mix at a fixed flow rate is discharged from inside the sampling cylinder. The flow rate of the developer mix to be supplied to the sampling cylinder is set to be greater than the flow rate of the developer mix to be discharged, so that part of the developer mix supplied towards the sampling cylinder overflows from the upper edge of the sampling cylinder. Therefore, the developer mix inside the sampling cylinder flows in a stable state. A detecting coil is disposed on the outer periphery of the sampling cylinder, and detects the toner concentration of the developer mix in the form of an inductance.

A light conductive photosensitive member belt is charged uniformly by use of a charger and an electric charge latent image having three values is formed by means of a laser beam light L.sub.1. After then, after the passage of time t.sub.1, a yellow developing device is used to develop yellow and, after the passage of time t.sub.2, a magenta developing device is used to develop magenta. Next, the photosensitive member belt is recharged by a recharger and another latent image having three values is formed by means of a laser beam light L.sub.2. After then, after the passage of time t.sub.1, a cyan developing device is used to develop cyan and, after the passage of time t.sub.2, a black developing device is used to develop black. Then, these four color toner images are transferred to recording paper.
摘要:
A cleaning device for a dry electrophotographic device includes a cleaning brush brought into resilient contact with an object to be cleaned such as a photosensitive drum. A cleaning roll rotates while constantly being brought into contact with the cleaning brush and a cleaning blade is pressed against the cleaning roll to clean the cleaning roll. A rotation direction switching mechanism switches the rotation direction of the cleaning brush such that the rotation direction of the cleaning brush when cleaning the object, for example, during the formation of an image, is different from that when the brush is not cleaning the object.
