摘要:
A liquid storage apparatus which comprises a pouring opening at the top of a vessel and a passage which is partially defined by a shield wall for preventing straight access of a liquid to the pouring opening. The structure defining the passage facilitates downward backflow of the liquid and is provided below and near the pouring opening.

A liquid storage container includes a supply port for supplying the liquid, and liquid path forming structure provided within the liquid container for preventing direct backflow of liquid in the container to the supply port. The liquid path forming structure is detachable from the liquid container and includes a projecting member having a sloped surface provided below the supply port. The liquid path forming structure also includes structure for defining a first flow path for passing liquid therethrough. This structure includes a lowermost section of the sloped surface and defines a first port. The liquid path forming structure also includes structure for defining a second flow path for passing liquid into the container. This structure includes a portion of the projecting member and defines a second port. The second port is in communication with a lowermost portion of the second flow path, and the first port is in communication with an intermediate portion of the second flow path.

An image forming apparatus has a paper guide, a feed roller and a pinch roller for feeding and guiding a recording medium. The pinch roller is biased to normally be pressed agaisnt the feed roller and can be separated from the feed roller so that the recording medium can be introduced between them. The paper guide comprises two guide members that contact respective side edges of the recording medium when the pinch roller is separated from the feed roller.

An image formation apparatus includes a cap for a recording unit and a cover for a paper feed unit, both of which can be opened and closed. Levers maintain the cap and cover in their closed positions and a handle releases them from such positions. A sealing member closes a mounting portion of the handle to provide dust proof properties.
摘要:
An image recording system includes a host computer and a recording apparatus. The host computer generates image data to be recorded as an image. The recording apparatus includes a recording head, an image data generator, an error detector, and a selector. The error detector checks the condition of the recording apparatus to detect any errors. The selector switches between an on-line mode and an off-line mode of the recording system. In the on-line mode, the recording head is capable of recording the image on the recording medium in response to the image data supplied from the host computer. In the off-line mode, the recording means is capable of recording the predetermined image on the recording medium in response to the predetermined image data supplied from the predetermined image data generator. The selector switches to the on-line mode when the error detector does not detect an error and switches to the off-line mode when the error detector does detect an error.

Oscillating and fixing apparatus for oscillating and fixing the recording head in an image forming machine. A recording head records an image on a recording medium which is fed to the record location by a recording medium feeding device. The feeding device has a reference surface. Oscillating apparatus oscillates the recording head toward and away from the recording medium and causes the recording head to abut the reference surface following the forward movement. A fixing device prevents the oscillation effected by the oscillating apparatus and fixes the recording head with respect to the recording medium to protect the recording head from vibration and shock.

An image formation apparatus includes a conveying system for conveying a recording medium of a continuous paper form, such as fan fold paper; and a movable recording head assembly for forming images along the entire width of the recording medium. The apparatus includes a movable capping mechanism for capping the recording head assembly when the recording head assembly is moved to a home position.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a recording head and a platen for contacting and holding a rear surface of a recording medium. The platen is elastically pressed against the recording head, thus preventing a blurred recording even if the apparatus is subjected to vibrations during a recording operation.
