摘要:
A copying machine capable of color copying includes a filter apparatus for color-separating scanning light for scanning original images, and the original images are copied by electrophotographic process. The filter apparatus includes mirror filters having color separation filters of blue, green and red, respectively deposited on mirror surfaces and a half mirror, and these mirrors are arranged apart from each other at an angle of 90.degree., so that the apparatus as a whole has a cylindrical shape. The light scanned the original images is reflected by the filter mirrors, and latent electrostatic images corresponding to respective colors are formed on a photoreceptor drum.

摘要:
A dry process developing apparatus of a type in which, by supplying toner contained in a toner replenishing tank with respect to magnetic carrier magnetically attracted onto an outer peripheral surface of a developing sleeve, a magnetic developing material composed of the magnetic carrier and toner is prepared on the outer peripheral surface of the developing sleeve for developing an electrostatic latent image supported on the surface of an electrostatic latent image support member by the use of this developing material. The developing apparatus includes a space chamber defined between a bristle height restricting member and a front restricting member so as to open towards the outer peripheral surface of the developing sleeve, and preliminarily loaded with the magnetic carrier, and a toner supplying section for supplying the toner with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the developing sleeve at the upstream side of the front restricting member.
摘要:
A toner replenishment control method for a developing material including two kinds of toners triboelectrically chargeable to polarities opposite to each other, which includes the steps of causing the respective toners contained in the developing material to separately adhere to each of first and second surface areas of a detecting member having predetermined potentials, obtaining first and second detecting signals substantially proportional to amounts of the respective toners which have adhered to the first and second surface areas, the first and second detected signals being set to become equal to each other when a mixing ratio of the respective toners in the developing material is set at a standard mixing ratio, relatively comparing the first and second detected signals, and in the presence of a difference therebetween, replenishing either one of the respective toners to the developing material for eliminating the difference.

The disclosure is directed to an improved electrostatic latent image developing method in which uneven development arising from simultaneous employment of a magnetic roller rotational driving system and an AC developing bias impressing system is eliminated, without impairing the advantages available from such systems, so as to make it possible to provide developed images of good quality at high density in the application, for example, to an electrophotographic copying apparatus and the like.

A waiting time display system specifically for use in a copying machine includes a temperature sensor for monitoring the specific temperature of heat fixing rollers. Electronic processing is responsive to the varying signal outputs of the sensor and correspond to the rise of the temperature detected. A display panel is driven so that a plurality of lights are sequentially activated and deactivated to indicate time and temperature. An audio signal can also be provided to indicate the machine can be activated for copying. An operator can now gauge the amount of time until the copy machine is capable of being operative.

Photocopying machine comprising shield elements which are provided between an electrophotosensitive medium and a corona discharge unit at a transfer station, define a slit to permit transfer of conductive toner particles onto copy paper charged by the corona discharge unit but prevent imposition on the paper of a charge liable to cause early transfer of toner particles or of a charge liable to cause cancellation of the charge of the toner particles, and hence detachment, of toner particles on the copy paper.
