An image forming system for forming an image on a recording sheet, including a rotatable image bearing member, a cleaning member contacting the image bearing member to remove toner remaining on the image bearing member, and charger means contacting the image bearing member and disposed at a downstream side of the cleaning member in a direction of movement of the image bearing member. Lubricant having a low resistance is painted on a contacting portion of the cleaning member between the image bearing member and the cleaning member.
摘要:
A developing apparatus having a container for containing a one component developer, and a rotatable developing roller disposed facing an image bearing member to carry developer from the container to a development zone where it is supplied to an electrostatic latent image carried on an image bearing member. The developing roller includes a metal base member and a resin coating layer thereon in which fine conductive particles are dispersed. The developing roller has a surface including an end region adjacent an end of the roller, and an intermediate region. In the end region, the base member is not roughened and the resin layer is not provided. In the intermediate region, inside the end region, the base member is roughened and is coated with the resin layer. A sealing member is provided for preventing leakage of the developer from the container at the end of the developing roller, the sealing member being faced to the end region of the developing roller.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus is used in conjunction with a signal generator for producing an image signal representing an image to be recorded. The apparatus includes a device for forming a visible image with visible material on an image bearing member. The image is represented by the image signal produced by the signal generator. A time signal is also generated by a time signal generator and a measuring circuit measures the time signal so generated as a function of the production off the image signal by the image signal generator. Finally, a warning signal that indicates insufficiency of supply of the visible material for forming an image properly by the image forming device is produced on the basis of measurement of the time signal by the measuring circuit.
摘要:
An output apparatus capable of receiving multi-level dot information of a first recording dot density, generating multi-level dot information of a second recording dot density, and transmitting the thus-generated second dot information in a visible way. The output apparatus comprises: a receiving device capable of receiving multi-level dot information of a first recording dot density; a generating device capable of generating multi-level interpolation dot information by applying a predetermined calculation to the thus-received multi-level dot information; and a dot density conversion device capable of generating multi-level dot information of a second, higher recording dot density from said interpolation dot information and the received multi-level dot information, whereby high density image data can be generated from low density image data.

摘要:
There is disclosed an apparatus for obtaining image signal by tonal processing of an input signal. Pulse-width modulation of the input signal is achieved thorugh comparison with a second signal of a predetermined shaped, for example a triangular signal. In order to avoid the influence of fluctuating factors in pulse-width modulation, the apparatus also has a third signal generator, and the pulse-width modulated signal or a pattern signal generated by the third signal generator is selectively used for image formation.
