摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, an intermediate transfer member, a primary transfer member, and a power supply unit to form a primary-transfer electric-field between the image carrier and the primary transfer member by performing constant-current control. The primary transfer member also detects a change in a primary transfer voltage in a sub-scanning direction that is applied to the primary transfer member from the power supply unit in the sub-scanning direction. There is a conductive member, a secondary transfer member, and a secondary-transfer electric-field forming member to apply a secondary transfer current to the secondary transfer member or the conductive member. A control device controls the secondary transfer current applied to the secondary transfer member or the conductive member in accordance with the change in the primary transfer voltage in the sub-scanning direction detected by the power supply unit.

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a first member having a surface endlessly moving in a specific direction a second member having a surface endlessly moving in the specific direction at a region facing the surface of the first member, and a supporting member holding the second member and to move together with the second member. The supporting member includes a release mechanism to release an engagement of the supporting member from the second member. A pressing member is included to press the second member via the supporting member to cause the second member to contact the first member under pressure to form a nip between the first and second members. The release mechanism releases the engagement of the supporting member from the second member when the second member is pushed away by a leading edge of a recording medium having a thickness greater than a reference thickness value.

A speed change detection apparatus includes an image carrier for carrying a latent image, and a latent image pattern forming device for forming a latent pattern image on the image carrier. The pattern image includes periodically formed line or dot images. An alternating current conversion type surface potential sensor is provided to detect a potential of the surface of the photoconductive member. The alternating current conversion type surface potential sensor further detects a change in speed of the image carrier by detecting a moiré appearing on the latent image pattern.

摘要:
A temperature controlling method and apparatus for a thermal printhead, in which a temperature of a thermosensitive recording material is detected by measuring a temperature change of the thermal printhead when a surface of the thermosensitive recording material contacts a surface of the resistant heater of the thermal printhead. The thermosensitive recording material is heated by the thermal printhead to a temperature suitable for recording or erasing an image on the thermosensitive recording material, with the temperature suitable for recording or erasing the image being changed as a function of the detected temperature of the thermosensitive recording material.
