摘要:
A high-speed image forming method and apparatus is capable of directly controlling a toner by the force of an energy beam. Selected toner particles in a mass of toner adhering to the surface of a transparent drum are irradiated with a laser beam emitted by a laser disposed within the transparent drum and controlled for scanning according to image information. The laser beam separates the selected toner particles from the transparent drum by the force it produces on the particles, and then the separated toner particles are moved to a paper sheet by the force of an electric field produced by a developing electrode. Each toner particle need only be irradiated with the light for a comparatively short period of time, so that an image can be formed at high speed.

In an electrophotographic apparatus, regions having at least three different potential levels Vc, Vw, and Vr are formed on a photosensitive member by using an exposing device, and developing processes respectively using colored particles of different kinds are performed by normal development and reversal development on two potential levels Vc and Vr excluding the intermediate potential level Vw. The apparatus has an auxiliary exposing unit for forming a fringe development preventing potential in an edge of an image forming region in order to prevent fringe development from occurring. The auxiliary exposing unit sets an auxiliary exposure amount by performing pulse-width modulation on a laser driver.

In an electrophotographic printing apparatus for printing using a three level printing method, there are provided a first color data memory and a second color data memory which memorize the pixel data of every color sent from host equipment, such as a computer connected to an electrophotographic printing apparatus, and by the use of image recognition equipment for judging whether pixel information is part of what image, exposure information with exposure equipment is determined so that the electric current flowing into electric current source and electric current source is changed. With such an arrangement, the exposure data for every color to be printed is created on the basis of the recognized result the part of a particular image that the pixel data shows, and the color image of the line-width in accordance with data sent from the host equipment to the electrophotographic printing apparatus can be actually printed by controlling the exposure beam diameter.

A color electrophotographic printer having a printing process which records a toner image of one color or two colors in a pixel by one exposure. The color electrophotographic printer includes a memory which stores exposure data corresponding to respective pixels of input data of an image, a photosensitive body and at least one charger which charges the photosensitive body. At least one exposing machine exposes respective pixels on the photosensitive body based on the exposure data and a developing machine develops toner of one color or two colors in the exposed respective pixels and forms a toner image. A transfer machine transfers the toner image onto a printing medium and a fixing machine having a belt which fixes the transferred toner image on the printing medium. The belt is controlled so that a relative speed difference occurs between the printing medium and the belt at a position along the belt at least when the developed toner of two colors in one pixel of an image of the printing medium is fixed.

A laser beam printer is provided which is capable of compensating for the difference in diameter between dots every colors and preventing unintentional coloring of the boundary between colors. In a conventional light source used for a printer, a spot diameter thereof is small upon low output and large upon high output. However, in a semiconductor laser device of the present invention, which is used for a light source for a printer, the spot diameter of the light source is controlled so as to be large upon low output and small upon high output. It is thus possible to keep the spot diameter of the laser light source constant. As a result, an irregular color-free laser beam printer can be materialized.
