    摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided with a carriage in which recording heads having nozzles for ejecting liquid droplets are mounted and is configured to form an image on a recording medium being transported. The image forming apparatus includes a pattern forming unit that forms an impact position displacement adjustment pattern formed of plural independent liquid droplets on a water repellent member; a reading unit that includes a light emitting unit for emitting light onto the adjustment pattern and a light receiving unit for receiving specular reflection light from the adjustment pattern; and an impact position correcting unit that corrects an impact position of a liquid droplet to be ejected from the recording head based on a read result by the reading unit. The reading unit is disposed on the carriage and is arranged close to the side of a guide member that guides movement of the carriage.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a recording head, a sub-tank, a main tank, a supply unit, a memory, and a controller. The sub-tank includes an ink storage container, a flexible member, an elastic member, and an atmosphere-communicable unit. The ink storage container has an opening sealed by the flexible member biased by the elastic member. The main tank stores ink to be supplied to the sub-tank. The controller controls an ink dispensing operation depending on image forming conditions. The controller determines whether a gas bubble intrudes in the sub-tank. The controller executes the ink dispensing operation from the recording head using a dispensable ink volume when an ink supply from the main tank to the sub-tank is unable to be continued. The controller variably sets the dispensable ink volume. The controller determines that an ink end condition occurs when the recording head dispenses the dispensable ink volume from the sub-tank.

    摘要: A fixing unit includes an endless belt accommodating a heat source inside a loop formed by the endless belt, a rotary pressing member rotating in contact with the endless belt in a pressure contact section, and a heat transfer member secured to a side plate within the loop of the endless belt to support and heat the endless belt with heat conducted from the heat source. The heat transfer member has an opening opposite the rotary pressing member. A securing member is disposed in the opening of the heat transfer member in pressure contact with the rotary pressing member via the endless belt. The heat transfer member and the securing member collectively include a pair of latching parts to firmly connect the heat transfer member and the securing member with each other when one of the latching parts is fitted to the other one of the latching parts.
