An image forming apparatus includes: a sheet conveyance section that conveys a sheet; an image forming section that forms an image on the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveyance section according to an image signal; a sheet heating section that heats the sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming section; and a curl straightening section that straightens curl of the sheet after the sheet is heated by the sheet heating section. The sheet heating section curls the sheet in a different direction according to a sheet thickness. The curl straightening section includes: a first curl straightening section that straightens the curl of the sheet curled in a first direction for curling thick sheet; and a second curl straightening section disposed on a downstream side in a sheet conveyance direction to straighten the curl of the sheet curled in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

The image forming apparatus is capable of preventing contamination of the rear surface of paper while minimizing the deterioration of the surface of the transfer roll. The image forming apparatus has an intermediate transfer belt for carrying a toner image visualized by a toner, a transfer roll pressed against the intermediate transfer belt, and a cleaning brush that is rotatable in contact with the transfer roll. This transfer roll acts to transfer the toner image carried on the belt to paper. The cleaning brush makes contact with the transfer roll to stir the toner adhering to the transfer roll.

An image forming apparatus includes: a transfer unit T2 including the inside transfer roll 29, the outside transfer roll 30 transfers the toner image from the toner image holding belt B onto the recording sheet that passes through the transfer region Q4 when transfer voltage is applied to between the inside transfer roll 29 and the outside transfer roll 30; electric-field adjusting conductive member 51 disposed in proximity to and along the inner side of the toner image holding belt B leaving the transfer region Q4 at a position located downstream of the transfer region Q4; and electric-field adjust-potential applying means 53; 54 applies a potential, which weakens an electric field developed between the outside transfer roll 30 and the inside transfer roll 29 in a region located downstream of the transfer region Q4, to the electric-field adjusting conductive member 51.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus wherein plural developing devices 3 have alternating electric field applying mechanisms 4, the alternating electric field applying mechanisms 4 have alternating electric field changing mechanisms 7 for reducing the degree of the action of the alternating electric field on at least one of the developing devices 3 which are later in development order, to a level which is lower than that in the preceding step. As required, at least one of the transferring devices 5 which are later in transfer order has a transfer force changing mechanism 8 for increasing the force of transfer to a transfer medium 6 applied to a color-component toner image on an image carrier 1, to a level which is higher than that in the preceding step. Furthermore, an operation condition judging mechanism 9 may judge whether preset transfer failure conditions are satisfied or not, or environmental conditions may be considered by an environmental condition adjusting device 10.

In an image forming apparatus adapted to transfer a toner image formed on a photosensitive drum to an intermediate transfer belt, and thereafter to a sheet, the position of one end portion of a backup roll around which the intermediate transfer belt is passed is set regulatable, this end portion being fixed after the position thereof has been regulated. The position of one end portion of a driving roll, cleaning blades or photosensitive drum may be set regulatable. This arrangement enables the skew of an image formed on a sheet to be reduced.

A transfer device includes a photosensitive drum on the outer surface of which an image to be transferred is formed; a transfer drum arranged in parallel to the photosensitive drum and substantially in contact with the outer surface of the photosensitive drum, the transfer drum capable of adsorbing a sheet on its outer surface; and a sheet guide for guiding the sheet supplied toward the transfer drum to a transfer position between the photosensitive drum and the transfer drum. At an end of the sheet guide on the side of the transfer position, a hill-shaped guide is provided which flexes at a flexing point in a plane orthogonal to the rotary axis of each of both drums so as to be convex toward the photosensitive drum. The side of the hill-shaped guide from the flexing point toward, and closest to, the transfer position is inclined toward the photosensitive drum with respect to a tangent of the photosensitive drum passing the transfer position.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing vibration of a transfer film caused from the operation of a separating device to prevent irregular density distribution and change in the hue. The image forming apparatus according to the present invention and having: a transfer-medium holding member having a transfer film for adsorbing and carrying a transfer medium and arranged such that an image is formed on the transfer medium; an internally and upwardly pushing member movably disposed on the surface of the transfer film opposite to the surface to which the transfer medium is adsorbed; a moving device for moving the internally and upwardly pushing member by a predetermined quantity so that the internally and upwardly pushing member upwardly pushes the transfer film to deform the transfer film to separate the transfer medium from the transfer film; and a preventing device for preventing vibration of the internally and upwardly pushing member.
