A bias cleaning system has an electrically conductive brush roller for collecting toner which has to adhered a transfer belt by scrubbing the toner off the transfer belt under a condition in which a direct current voltage of the opposite polarity to the charge of the toner is applied to the brush roller. A corona charger is also provided for decreasing the amount of charge on the toner on the transfer belt in a region of the belt up-stream of the electrically conductive brush roller in the moving direction of the transfer belt.

In an image forming method wherein a toner image formed on a photoreceptor by the sequence of a charging step, an imagewise exposure step and a development step is transferred and fixed on a recording sheet by a transfer and a fixing step, the improvement wherein the developer used in the development step comprises at least 30 wt % of a toner having a particle size of no more than 8 .mu.m and a magnetic carrier of low saturation magnetization, the toner being capable of carrying electric charges in a quantity greater than the value at which a maximum amount of the toner is deposited for development, the toner being electrified to have a charge quantity greater than a predetermined level by mixing the toner and the carrier under agitation before the effective development region is reached, a magnetic brush being formed after the toner electrification, the carrier and the toner being then given a localized movement and vibrational force in the effective development region, the toner being deposited on the latent electrostatic image under the action of an electrical or mechanical disturbance that promotes the supply and separation of the toner particles, whereby a toner image is formed on the photoreceptor, the toner image being then transferred onto the recording sheet by a transfer device holding a constant electric field and, following this transfer step, the residual toner on the photoreceptor being charged again and subsequently removed from the photoreceptor under the action of an electric field.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a conveyance roller, a liquid discharge head, and a control device. The control device controls the head to discharge liquid onto a medium X times in the main scanning direction and Y times in the sub-scanning direction and controls the roller such that a position of a droplet on the medium discharged by an m-th discharge and a position of another droplet on the medium discharged by an (m+Y)-th discharge are same in the sub-scanning direction, where m is an integer not smaller than one and not greater than ((X−1)×Y). Where P is a circumferential length of the roller and L is a difference in a conveyance distance in the sub-scanning direction when the m-th discharge is compared with the (m+Y)-th discharge, the following relation is satisfied:

A liquid discharge method for a liquid discharge apparatus having a plurality of print modes includes determining and changing. The determining determines the print modes by a determiner. The changing changes, based on the print mode determined by the determiner, a use nozzle width and a discharge amount of a spot color head in a line feed direction such that a print mode having a low print speed has a narrower nozzle width and a larger discharge amount than a print mode having a high print speed by a controller.

According to one embodiment, a lighting device includes a control circuit that includes a threshold for a case where a pair of the illumination lamps are connected in series between a positive output end and a negative output end of a power supply circuit, and a threshold for a case where one illumination lamp is connected between the positive output end and the negative output end of the power supply circuit. The control circuit determines the connected lamp number of the illumination lamps to a direct-current power supply device based on a voltage between the positive output end and the negative output end of the power supply circuit and a voltage between a non-potential connection end and the positive output end or the negative output end, and selects the threshold corresponding to the connected lamp number to control the direct-current power supply device.

A connector (1) comprises two lock springs (6) provided with locking claws (6E), respectively, and a control mechanism (7, 8) for controlling positions of the locking claws (6E). The lock springs (6) are arranged parallel to each other in an X-direction. The locking claws (6E) are arranged parallel to each other in the X-direction. The control mechanism comprises a single button (7) and a cam mechanism (8), which is coupled to the single button (7) and has two cam portions (8B) arranged close to the lock springs (6) in the X-direction. When the single button (7) is operated, the cam portions (8B) add forces to the lock springs (6) simultaneously to elastically deform the lock springs (6) so that the locking claws (6E) are retracted inside a shell (4).
