In a printing sheet conveying device in which a sheet bearing a toner image is passed through a heating roll and a pressure roll, and which has means for changing the right and left contact pressures of these rolls to correct the meandering movement of the sheet when conveyance of the sheet is started; in which when conveyance of the sheet is started, the contact pressure of the rolls is made higher on one of the right and left sides than on the other side, and in a predetermined period of time the contact pressures on both sides are made equal to each other.

A laser printer with a thermal fixing unit comprises: a pair of heat and pressure rolls for pressing a sheet with a developed toner image therebetween to fix the toner image on the sheet; a web immersable with an oil; an oil coater for supplying the oil to the web and pressing the web against the heat roll at at least one point to make the web contact with the heat roll so that the oil is applied from the oil coater onto the surface of the heat roll through the web to thereby prevent occurrence of offset of the toner image; and at least one pressing member provided separately from the oil coater for locally urging the web against the heat roll, the pressing member being located on at least one of before and behind the oil coater.
摘要:
An electrophotographic device has a photosensitive element, an electrifier that forms a uniform electrostatic potential on the photosensitive element, and a light source for irradiating the photosensitive element to obtain an electrostatic latent image that has a reduced potential. A bias potential is applied to the photosensitive element after the latent image is formed, but before it is developed, so that the reduced potential of the latent image can be maintained at a constant level. With constant potentials existing on the photosensitive element, a printed image of high quality is obtained.
摘要:
A method of preventing colors from being mixed in a two-color image forming apparatus. The surface of a photoreceptor is uniformly charged. A first latent electrostatic image formed on the photoreceptor surface is developed with a one-component developer so as to form a first toner image. A second latent electrostatic image formed on the photoreceptor surface is developed with a two-component developer so as to form a second toner image. The first and second toner images are simultaneously transferred onto a recording medium. In a preferred embodiment, the one-component developer is a magnetic toner, while the two-component developer is the combination of a nonmagnetic toner and a magnetic carrier. The magnetic toner and the magnetic carrier are preferably powder made of substantially the same materials.

In an image printer performing multi-color printing, two magnetic poles having the same polarity are provided adjacent to each other in a position facing the printing body of the second developing agent holding body provided in the second developing unit, and development is performed under a condition satisfying the following formulas;B1.ltoreq.1100,1000.ltoreq.B2.ltoreq.1200,-300.ltoreq.B1-B2.ltoreq.0,F.apprxeq.0where B1 (gauss) is a magnetic flux density on the surface of the developing agent holding body of one magnetic pole of the magnetic poles arranged in the downstream side of the transmitting direction of the developing agent, and B2 (gauss) is a magnetic flux density on the surface of the developing agent holding body of the other magnetic pole of the magnetic poles arranged in the upstream side of the transmitting direction of the developing agent, and F (gf) is a rubbing force to the printing body of the magnetic brush in the second developing unit.
摘要:
An apparatus for printing on opposite surfaces of a strip of printing paper using two electrophotographic printing units wherein each printing operation is of high quality and thermal damage to the printing is minimized. The apparatus includes a first electrophotographic printing unit for printing on the front surface of the printing paper, a buffer unit for temporarily holding the printing paper discharged outside of the first electrophotographic printing unit, a turn unit for turning over the printing paper, and a second electrophotographic printing unit for printing the reverse surface of the printing paper. A toner having a low melting temperature is employed for each of the first and second electrophotographic printing units so that developing treatment is conducted only with the aid of a heat roll but without any use of a preheating plate. A back-up roll adapted to cooperate with the heat roll is coated with a tetrafluoroethylene-based synthetic resin. The second electrophotographic printing unit is provided with a paper presser for squeezing the printing paper against a photosensitive drum only within the printing width range. A retract mechanism is operatively connected to the paper presser.
摘要:
A developing apparatus in which a stationary multipole permanent magnet is placed in a sleeve and in which development is performed by bringing a developer, which contains at least carrier and toner particles and is held on the periphery of a sleeve by use of the magnetic force of the multipole permanent magnet, into contact with a photo-conductive body owing to the rotation of the sleeve. For securing image density and for preventing the deposition of carrier onto the photo-conductive body, two magnetic pieces, each of which is arranged lengthwise in the direction of the axis thereof and which have the same polarity, are placed in a region in the multipole permanent magnet which faces the photo-conductive body in such a manner as to adjoin in the circumferential direction of said permanent magnet. This results in generation of the distribution of a magnetic field which has two peaks of magnetic force. The position at which the second one of the two peaks of the magnetic force is formed, downstream in the direction of rotation of the sleeve, is set at the nearest point between the photo-conductive body and the sleeve. Thereby, even when development is performed by bringing the developer into light contact with the photo-conductive body, the image density can be secured. Further, the carrier can be prevented from depositing on the photo-conductive body.

A method of operating an electrographic printing apparatus which employs a reversal development system with a two components developer wherein the bias voltage and the surface voltage are varied in synchronism with each other.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printing apparatus with a pivotable paper buffer and a pivotable guide member which together, depending on their position in relation to each other, form either a loading configuration or a printing configuration. In the loading configuration, the pivoting end of the buffer is adjacent to the pivoting end of the pivotable guide member to form a horizontal path for the paper to travel between the photosensitive member and the fixing portion. In the printing configuration, the buffer pivots upward away from the guide member so that it is in a position to receive a paper sheet as it is fed by a tractor after being contacted by the photosensitive member.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printer in which toner is printed and fused and the paper thereafter folded and stacked. To avoid toner stick a blower blows cooling air between adjacent folded sheets. The blower may be mounted on a horizotnally slidable paper guide. The stacker table may be lowered so that the top of the stack is maintained at the same height or the blower may be moved vertically in response to the output of a sensor detecting the top of the folded stack.
