摘要:
A fixing apparatus for fixing a toner image on a recording material by heat has a pair of rotary members having a heat generating member, and rotatable in contact with each other, electric power supply controller for controlling electric power supply to the heat generating member so that the temperature of at least one of the rotary members may become a set temperature, and rotation time setting unit for setting a time for which the electric power supply control is effected after the shift from a warming-up operation to a fixing capable state and the pair of rotary members are rotated continuously from rotation during the warming-up operation, on the basis of the time of the warming-up operation.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of normally performing second side printing on a transfer material, even if the transfer material put on standby after completion of first side printing is pulled out by a user. A transfer material having image formed on its first side is fed until it is partly exposed to the outside of a printer, and is then fed to a refeeding path in the printer and further fed to a standby position prior to image formation on the second side of the transfer material. When it is detected that the transfer material caused to stop at the standby position is pulled out by a user, a warning to stop pulling out the transfer material is given to the user.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming apparatus body and a peripheral unit operable to transport a recording medium. The image forming apparatus includes a communication device for communicating with the peripheral unit and a controller for controlling transporting the recording medium by the peripheral unit using a communication by the communication device. The controller sets a plurality of transport speeds, each of which corresponds to a predetermined identification code, to the peripheral unit and specifies the transport speed by using the predetermined identification code to the peripheral unit.

In an image forming apparatus includes a containing device for containing waste toner which is recovered, and a near-end position detecting device that detects that the waste toner is at a near-end position in the containing device, and a judgment feature that the waste toner is full based on image judgement means for judging whether the container after detecting means detects that an amount of toner in the container is full of toner, based on image information of an image formed on a recording material and the adjustment by the adjusting means.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus changes over an electric potential on an image bearing member in response to an attenuation region in which a remaining potential on a developing member is attenuating after a developing bias applied to the developing member has been turned off after completion of an image forming operations. Accordingly, it is possible to mitigate adherence of developer due to a large potential difference between the developing member and the image bearing member.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus capable of reducing a part of a sheet exposed outside the apparatus on standby after finishing printing a first side in both-sided printing. A transfer material P having an image formed on its first side is fed until a part thereof gets exposed outside a full-color printer 1 and is fed to a refeeding path in the full-color printer 1. The transfer material P inverted by a flapper 44 is fed to a standby position to form an image on a second side thereof and is stopped there. In the case where a preparation for forming the image on the second side is not completed, the standby position for having the transfer material P stopped is changed corresponding to length of the inverted transfer material P in a feeding direction.
