摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a movable member carrying a recording sheet bearing a non-fixed image and a separation device for separating the recording sheet from the movable member. The separation device includes a peel member made from resin and having a resistance between 10.sup.3 and 10.sup.11 .OMEGA.) and an electricity removing charger. The peel member is supported by a support member and is positioned such that a part of the resin peel member is within the discharge area of the electricity removing charger and the support member is disposed outside the discharge area and is electrically grounded.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a movable recording material carrying member for carrying a recording material on a first side thereof, the recording material carrying member cooperating with the image bearing member to form a nip therebetween, a transfer charging member, to which a voltage is applicable, the transfer charging member being contactable to a second side of the recording material carrying member to transfer in the nip an image from the image bearing member onto a recording material carried on the recording material carrying member, a pushing member for pushing the second surface of the recording material carrying member at a first position of the recording material carrying member to increase a width, measured along a movement direction of the recording material carrying member, of the nip, wherein the first position is remote from a second position where the transfer charging member is contactable to the recording material carrying member.
摘要:
This invention relates to an image forming apparatus which has a recording material support member for supporting a recording material and moving therewith, an image forming unit for forming an image on the recording material supported by the recording material support member, and attraction charging devices for electrostatically attracting the recording material to said recording material support member. The attraction charging devices are first and second electrodes positioned across the recording material support member from each other, wherein a center of charging of the first electrode to the recording material support member is shifted from a center of charging of the second electrode, in the moving direction of said recording material support member, and there may also be an auxiliary charger for charging, prior to image formation, the recording material attracted to the recording material support member.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus in which when separating a recording material from a recording-material conveying sheet, the recording-material conveying sheet is pressed and deformed by a pressing member, the pressing member has a convex curved portion contacting the recording-material conveying sheet in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording-material conveying sheet. It is thereby possible to sufficiently deform the recording-material conveying sheet while preventing it from being permanently deformed or broken.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a transfer charging device for transferring the image from the image bearing member onto a recording material at a transfer position, a power source for supplying a voltage to the transfer charging device during an image transfer operation, and a control device for changing an output of the transfer charging device from a first level to a second level prior to arrival of an image area of the image bearing member at the transfer position, wherein the second level is higher than a third level of the output which is a level when the image area is at the transfer position.
摘要:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus comprising an image bearing member for bearing an image thereon, and a transfer device for transferring the image from the image bearing member to a recording material at a transfer station. Wherein a limit value of electric power supplied to the transfer device is changed between a case where an imaged portion of the image bearing member is positioned at the transfer station and a case where a non-imaged portion of the image bearing member is positioned at the transfer station.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; recording material carrying member for carrying a recording material; a transfer charging member for transferring a toner image formed on the image bearing member onto the recording material carried on the recording material carrying member; a controller for controlling an electric current supplied from the transfer charger to the recording material carrying member to be a predetermined level; and potential applying device for applying a potential of the same polarity as that of the toner image to a backside of the recording material carrying member prior to transfer operation of the transfer charger.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus comprising an image bearing member, a transfer material support member, fixing means and oil removing means for removing the oil deposited to the transfer material support member.The image forming apparatus selects either a first mode in which, after the fixation of the image by the fixing means on a first face of the transfer material, the transfer material bearing the fixed image on the first face is automatically supported on the transfer material support member to transfer an image of the image bearing member to a second face different from the first face of the transfer material, or a second mode in which, after the fixation of the image by the fixing means on a first face of a manually inserted transfer material, the transfer material is discharged from the apparatus without image formation on a second face different from the first face of the transfer material. In case of selection of the first mode, the oil removing means do not effect the oil removal after the transfer of the image of the image bearing member to the first face of the transfer material but effects the oil removal after the transfer of the image of the image bearing member to the second face of the transfer material, while, in case of selection of the second mode, the oil removing means effects the oil removal after the transfer of the image of the image bearing member to the transfer material regardless whether the manually inserted transfer material has passed the fixing means.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a rotatable recording material bearing member for bearing a recording material and conveying the recording material to a transfer station, the image formed on the image bearing member being transferred onto the recording material born on the recording material bearing member at the transfer station, and a cleaning means capable of being contacted with a surface of the recording material bearing member to clean the surface of the recording material bearing member at a cleaning station. When a length (L1) of a recording material born on the recording material bearing member in a rotational direction of the recording material bearing member is greater than a distance (L2) from the transfer station to the cleaning station along the rotational direction of the recording material bearing member, after the image is transferred onto the recording material born on the recording material bearing member, the recording material is conveyed to the transfer station again.
