An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion; a fixing portion having a fixing nip portion which heats and fixes the unfixed image and an discharge roller which discharges the recording material, wherein in the case where the recording material is the plain paper which is equal to or larger than the predetermined size, the discharge roller conveys the plain paper in a range from a front edge to a rear edge at a predetermined speed, in the case where the recording material is the plain paper smaller than the predetermined size, the discharge roller conveys the plain paper at a first speed until the rear edge passes through the fixing nip portion, and the discharge roller conveys the plain paper at a second speed higher than the first speed after the rear edge passed through the fixing nip portion.

An image forming apparatus has an image bearing unit for bearing a toner image, a transfer device for transferring the toner image on the image bearing unit onto a sheet, fixing unit for fixing to the sheet toner image, and first and second sheet transport guides disposed along a transport path. A sheet transport speed in the fixing unit is set lower than a sheet transport speed in the transfer device. The first and second sheet transport guides are each disposed with a tilt with respect to a horizontal or vertical direction. A gap is provided to form a spacing sufficient to permit curves of the sheet to be formed between a downstream-side end portion of the first sheet transport guide and an upstream-side end portion of the second sheet transport guide.

For a semiconductor integrated circuit having a data output buffer, separate power source pads and separate reference pads are provided for the data output buffer and the circuit components. Thus, any potential fluctuations or noise generated in the data output buffer are not transmitted to the circuit components, resulting in decreased circuit malfunction.

A desired character mainly composed of standard width dots selected from a matrix of orthogonally disposed rows and columns is displayed on a screen during scanning of the screen in horizontal and vertical directions. The display is smoothed by a circuit responsive to data stored in a memory. The smoothing involves the selected addition or removal, to or from particular portions of the character, of a small dot having a width one-third of the standard dot width.

An image forming apparatus has a main body; an image forming portion for forming a toner image on a recording material; a fixing unit; a reverse roller to convey the recording material which is passed through the fixing portion to the image forming portion again after conveying the recording material which has passed through the fixing portion, where a rear end of the recording material passes through the fixing portion and the recording material is conveyed toward the image forming portion by rotating the reverse roller backward. The apparatus has a first and second conveying path, the second conveying path provided outside the first conveying path, and the reverse roller unit is attached to an opening/closing portion which exposes the first convey path when opened.

A pouch comprises a plurality of plastic sheets sealed on periphery, has a contents spout and a plastic zipper arranged in a fused state between the sheets whose outer periphery is sealed, and is heat-sterilized after being filled with contents. A a barrier portion is formed in a portion of the pouch interior set further toward the contents and away from the plastic zipper, the barrier portion formed in a state in which a film base material has been folded over. As a result, even if any damage is imparted during the step for manufacturing the plastic zipper or the step for mounting the zipper in the pouch, there will be no incidence of the contents leaking from the barrier portion and reaching the zipper portion due to heat and pressure encountered when retort sterilization, boiling, or another type of heat sterilization is performed after the pouch has been filled with foodstuffs or other material.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus which uses a plurality of heat-fixing devices, and secures a fixing property and a high quality of image and on the other hand, suppresses electric power consumption and further, curtails the number of parts, and gives consideration to an environment and realizes a lower cost. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion which forms a toner image on a recording medium, and first and second fixing devices which heat-fix the toner image formed on the recording medium, and an exhaust heat route from the first fixing device passes via the second fixing device.
