A printer includes a heating roller unit that heats recording paper at a position downstream of a recording head, which is provided at an upstream position, in the direction of the transportation of the recording paper. The recording head ejects ink to the recording paper that is transported from an upstream side to a downstream side. The heating roller unit is disposed along the direction of the width of the recording paper, which intersects with the transportation direction thereof. The heating roller unit is divided into a plurality of areas in the width direction. Heat applied by first areas of the plurality of areas to the recording paper is different from heat applied by second areas, which are adjacent to the first areas in the width direction, to the recording paper.

The invention provides a liquid ejecting apparatus which can prevent a target having liquid ejected thereon from warping irrespective of the type of the target. An ink jet printer includes a recording head configured to eject ink from a nozzle formed on a nozzle-formed surface onto a recording sheet being transported from an upstream side to a downstream side, and a plurality of supporting belts arranged so as to oppose the nozzle-formed surface and each having a supporting portion extending along the direction of transport of the recording sheet. The respective supporting belts are arranged so as to be capable of moving along the width direction intersecting the direction of transport of the recording sheet.

A method for manufacturing a developing agent carrier of a hollow or solid cylindrical shape having an outer peripheral surface and an irregularity section formed on the outer peripheral surface to carry a developing agent is provided. The method comprises a step of preparing a base material of a hollow or solid cylindrical shape which is to become the developing agent carrier, the base material having an outer peripheral surface; and a step of forming the irregularity section by pressing dice for formation of the irregularity section against the outer peripheral surface of the base material. The irregularity section forming step comprises a first step of forming a plurality of first depression portions on the outer peripheral surface of the base material by use of a die and a second step of forming a plurality of second depression portions on the outer peripheral surface of the base material by use of a die identical with or different from the die used in forming the first depression portions, in such a manner that the second depression portions are dislocated from the first depression portions.

In a container is adapted to be coupled with another container, a first wall member defines a first storage space adapted to store developing agent for forming an image on a recording medium. A first coupler is adapted to be coupled with a second coupler provided with the first another container. A first communicator is operable to communicate the first storage space with a second storage space provided with the first another container by way of the first coupler and the second coupler, when the container is coupled with another container.
摘要:
A development cartridge includes a developer carrier which carries toner, a toner supply member supplying the toner to the developer carrier and a regulation member regulating an amount of toner on the developer carrier. A development chamber encloses the developer carrier and the toner supply member. A transport section is connected to upper and lower portions of the development chamber to transport the toner from the lower portion of the development chamber to the upper portion of the development chamber. A transport member is disposed inside the transport section and transports the toner while agitating the toner. An amount of toner passing per unit time from the development chamber to the transport section is larger than an amount of toner passing per unit time from the transport section to the development chamber. A toner transport speed of the transport member is controlled in accordance with a process speed.
摘要:
A layer thickness regulating member is reattached to a developing device by a simple method. A method for reattaching a layer thickness regulating member has a step of removing the layer thickness regulating member from a developing device provided with the layer thickness regulating member, for regulating a layer thickness of a developer borne on a developer bearing body, that contacts the developer bearing body at a contacting section, a step of adjusting a length of the layer thickness regulating member reattached to the developing device, based on information indicating the length from the front end of the layer thickness regulating member to the contacting section, which is an information that is stored in the developing device, and a step of reattaching the layer thickness regulating member for which the length is adjusted to the developing device.
摘要:
A developing device includes a toner particle-bearing roller that bears toner particles on its surface and develops a latent image borne by an image-bearing member with those toner particles, the toner particle-bearing roller has a projection portion disposed on its surface, the projection portion having a top surface having a flat portion, and a width of the top surface being equal to or more than a volume average particle diameter of the toner particles.
