    摘要: The present invention is made to provide a pretransfer charging device, which allows (i) reduction of generation of discharge products such as ozone and nitroxide, (ii) excellent uniform charging, (iii) continuous stable charging for a long period of time, and (iv) restraint of distortion of a toner image. The pretransfer charging device includes (i) ion generation needles each provided face to face with an image carrier such as a photoconductor drum or an intermediating transfer belt, and (ii) a high-voltage power supply for applying a negative voltage to each of the ion generation needles. The voltage to be applied from the high-voltage power supply is not less than an ion production threshold voltage but is less than a corona discharge threshold voltage. With this, no corona discharge occurs but negative ions can be generated. This makes it possible to solve various problems caused due to the corona discharge.

    摘要: A fixing device includes a fixing member in contact with an unfixed image constituted of developer T on one side of a recording material P; and a pressure member pressed against the fixing member. The fixing device fixes the unfixed image onto the recording material P by causing the recording material P, charged so as to have a same polarity as a polarity of the developer T, to pass through a gap between the fixing member and the pressure member. In the fixing device, an inflow current into the fixing member Ih is 0 when the recording material P passes through the gap between the fixing member and the pressure member. This securely restrains the developer on the recording material from electrostatically offset to the side of the fixing device, thereby maintaining the formation of high quality images.

    摘要: A fusing device (23) has heat reflectors (238) and (239) positioned in consideration of the fact that convective heat loss from respective outer surfaces of the heat reflectors (238) and (239) depends on orientation of the outer surfaces. More specifically, each of the heat reflectors (238) and (239) are positioned so as to have a convective heat transfer coefficient η of up to 0.9. The convective heat transfer coefficient η is given by the following expression: η=(Su+0.77Sh+0.54Sd)/(Su+Sh+Sd), were Su is a projected area of an outer surface of each of the heat reflectors on an upper horizontal plane, Sh is a projected area of the same on a vertical plane, and Sd is a projected area of the same on a lower horizontal plane.

    摘要: A fixing device (23) of the present invention includes a fixing roller (131) contacting a toner image surface, and a pressure roller (132) contacting a surface opposite to the toner image surface. In the fixing device (23), a printing sheet (P) on which unfixed toner image is formed passes through a fixing nip portion (Y) where the fixing roller (131) and the pressure roller (132) are in contact with each other, so that the above-described toner image is fixed on the printing sheet (P). The fixing device (23) further includes a control circuit (150) which controls heater lamps (134 to 136) so that a surface temperature of the pressure roller (132) is in a temperature range defined by a cold offset occurring boundary temperature (Thc) of the fixing roller (131) and/or a hot offset occurring boundary temperature (Thh) of the fixing roller (131). With this, it is possible to suppress or prevent a transfer of toner to a pair of rollers (a transfer from the back of the printing sheet to the pressure roller, a transfer from the pressure roller to the fixing roller).
