摘要:
A memory storage section in which a memory attachment section is provided is provided in a place of a platen which place is to be covered with a platen cover. This makes it possible to prevent a young child from accidentally detaching a portable recording medium detachably attached to an image reading device.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention is an image forming apparatus into which a memory device is insertable and which performs a printing process on an image of image data stored in the memory device. The image forming apparatus includes a memory reading section for detecting insertion of the memory device into the image forming apparatus, and a display processing section for performing a notification process of warning of accidental ingestion of the memory device, when the memory reading section detects the insertion of the memory device. This makes it more surely possible to cause a user to give attention to accidental ingestion by young children.

摘要:
A magnetic member is arranged at a position on the downstream side with respect to the rotational direction of a developing sleeve, outside the developer conveyance path where the magnetism from the magnetic member has no influence on the magnetic field of the developing magnetic pole. When the magnetic member is arranged with its N pole facing the developing sleeve, the magnetic attractive force from the magnetic member weakens the developer's attraction to the peripheral surface of the developing sleeve. When the magnetic member is arranged with its S pole facing the developing sleeve, the developer being conveyed along the developer conveyance path is magnetized in such a direction as to repel the peripheral surface of the developing sleeve. In either case, the adhering state of the developer to the peripheral surface of the developing sleeve having passed through the developing position is unstable, so that the developer having adhered to the developing sleeve will easily drop off from the developing sleeve after passage of the developing position.
摘要:
The toner transporting section is provided with a plurality of toner discharge portions, selectively discharges a waste toner from any one of the plurality of toner discharge portions, and stores the waste toner in a waste toner container to which the waste toner discharged from the selected toner discharge portion is to be stored. Accordingly, it is possible to exchange the waste toner container corresponding to the toner discharge portion not used for discharging the waste toner. Therefore, it is possible to exchange the waste toner containers without stopping an image forming operation in an image forming apparatus provided with a cleaning device.
摘要:
Provided is a developing toner for electrostatic latent images capable of coping with the size reduction of an image forming apparatus and decrease of the consumption amount, not shortening the working life of a photoreceptor, less causing paper jam, background fogging, etc., excellent in various characteristics required for the toner, and capable of forming images of good picture quality. The developing toner being used when images are formed to a recording material in an image forming apparatus comprising an image forming station, a recording material feeding station, an image fixing station and a controlling station, the developing toner for electrostatic latent images containing hydrophobic fluidizing particles deposited to the surface of coloring resin particles comprising a binder resin containing a polyester resin, a polyalkylene, a polyolefin dispersant and a non-oxidized polyethylene resin, and an inorganic pigment, and having time constant τ of from 100 to 350 msec.
摘要:
A process for preparing a toner includes forming a melt-kneaded mixture by mixing a raw material mixture containing a quaternary ammonium salt compound at a temperature ranging from (M-7).degree. C. to (M+7).degree. C., where M is a melting point of the quaternary ammonium salt compound, with a kneading device having a discharge port whose temperature is set lower than a temperature at which a melt viscosity of the melt-kneaded mixture at the discharge port is not higher than 10,000 Pa.a, removing the melt-kneaded mixture from the kneading device, rolling out the melt-kneaded mixture to a thickness ranging from 1.2 mm to 3.0 mm, and cooling down the melt-kneaded mixture. With the use of the toner produced by this process, the amount of charge during copying is retained in an appropriate range irrespectively of the working atmosphere and conditions of use, thereby maintaining a good image density.
