摘要:
An image forming apparatus has an erasing device therein which automatically erases an image formed on a sheet by a recording agent implemented by a decolorizable coloring agent, e.g., toner. The erasing device emits light having a wavelength range of 820 nm or so while generating heat and may be constituted by a halogen lamp. As a result, the sheet is regenerated and can be repetitively used.

A heat roller fixing device has a fixing roller into which a heater is built and a pressing roller which rotatably presses on the fixing roller so that a non-fixed image is fixed on a paper sheet in a nip between the fixing roller and the pressing roller. It also includes a first frame for rotatably supporting the fixing roller, a second frame for rotatably supporting the pressing roller, a harnesses, a temperature detecting device, a safety device and a connector which are provided on the first frame. Positioning members on the first frame position the fixing device relative to the second frame. The strength against bending, the thickness and the heat resistance of the first frame are higher than that of the second frame.

An image forming apparatus with a scanner for reading image information from a document. The image forming apparatus includes a scanner section, an image forming section, a sheet discharging section, a sheet stacking section, a sheet finishing section, and a relaying section. The scanner section is configured to read image information of a document that can then be formed into an image in the image forming section. Exemplary options include an image forming apparatus with a scanner mounted on the apparatus body above the image forming section.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus for reading a document image, digitizing the resulting image data, and then forming an image on the basis of the digitized image data. The apparatus is selectively operable in an ordinary mode for reading the document image every time an image is formed or in a high-speed mode for writing the digitized image data in a memory so as to form a plurality of images by a single scanning while reducing the interval between consecutive papers. A fixing unit is provided with a higher reload temperature in the high-speed mode than in the ordinary mode. This obviates a cold offset in the event of a start-up when the high-speed mode is selected.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an electrophotographic color image forming apparatus using a tandem-drum development, an indirect image-transfer method, and a vertical sheet supply path. An intermediate image-transfer member is angled relative to a horizontal line such that a rear side of the intermediate image-transfer member away from a recording sheet is lifted and a front side of the intermediate image-transfer member closer to the recording sheet is lowered. Further, image creating mechanisms of the tandem-drum development are aligned and arranged in parallel to a moving image transfer bed of the intermediate image-transfer member, such that one of the image creating mechanisms firstly forming an image faces the rear side of the moving image transfer bed and another one of the image creating mechanisms lastly forming an image faces the front side.

摘要:
The color image forming apparatus comprises a transfer belt device which feeds a transfer member such as a paper and a plurality of image forming units. The image forming units are disposed facing towards the transfer belt device. The transfer belt device, at least in a portion in which the image forming units have been disposed, is arranged such that it is inclined with respect to the ground. Each of the image forming unit forms a desired image and sequentially transfers the formed image on the transfer member fed by the transfer belt device.
