摘要:
An image recording apparatus for forming a latent image on a photosensitive pressure sensitive sheet and for developing the latent image on a developer sheet. The apparatus includes an exposure unit and a developing unit positioned close to each other. The apparatus also includes an optical system for irradiating light onto an original and directing the light reflected at the original toward the exposure zone. The original has an original image facing downwardly, and the photosensitive sheet has an imaging surface facing downwardly at the exposure zone. The optical system provides a U or J-shaped optical path extending from the original to the exposure zone. The optical system has reflection mirror unit vertically movably secured to a pair of frames of the apparatus. The frames are reinforced with a partition member which also functions as a light shielding member. The partition member divide an internal space defined by the frames into two chambers so as to accommodate therein the developing unit and the optical system, respectively.

An image recording apparatus using a microcapsule sheet on which a latent image is formed. The microcapsule sheet is accommodated within a sheet roll cartridge detachably provided to a main frame, and a take up means for winding light-exposed microcapsule sheet thereover. The cartridge and the take-up means are geometrically positioned at an upper portion of the main frame, so that these are easily assembleable and disassembleable. Preferrably, a link mechanism is provided which connects a cover member to the cartridge. The link mechanism provides disengagement of the cartridge from the main frame upon opening of the cover member, and provides an engagement therebetween upon closing thereof. Further, additional link mechanism is provided between the cover member and a separation roller unit. The separation roller unit is moved to a first direction where the roller is separated from the microcapsule sheet when the cover member is opened. The unit is moved to a second direction where the roller is in contact with the microcapsule sheet when the cover member is closed.

In order to adjust light components, there is provided a filter unit which includes a light source for emitting a light, a filter housing to which an opening is formed; and three filters arranged in vertical direction within the filter housing and adapted to be drawn from the opening. Each of the three filters adjusts one of red, blue and green components contained in the light. A drive unit is further included in the filter housing which selectively draws the three filters from the opening to an optical path. Accordingly, the light components can be adequately adjusted by drawing the filters in the optical path. By the employment of such a filter unit in a color image recording apparatus, the color tone of the image reproduced in a copy sheet can be adjusted.

In an image recording apparatus, a pair of support plates are provided in spaced-apart relation and in parallel to each other for rotatably supporting guide rollers for conveying a recording sheet, and a cartridge shaft around which the recording sheet in elongated, web-like form is wound. An outer casing is further provided which accommodates the support plates together with all components necessary for image recording. The casing has one wall arranged in the direction orthogonal to the surfaces of the support plate. A window is provided in that wall to facilitate maintenance of the apparatus.

The invention provides a data storage device and a method of updating management information, capable of dealing with management information in a highly reliable manner so that information is not easily lost when an error occurs. File management information such as a FAT serving as address management information in a flash memory is stored in a management information area of the memory, a pair of blocks is assigned as blocks for use to store data of the FAT, and writing of updated FAT information is performed by alternately using the two blocks of the block pair such that previous FAT information is retained in one of the two blocks of the block pair, and updated FAT information is written in the other block of the block pair, whereby, even when an error occurs in the middle of the process of writing the updated management information, a process using the retained previous FAT information is possible.

In order to make a color image forming device compact in size, two color recording units are disposed in one side of an intermediate transfer body and another two color recording units are disposed in opposite side thereof. The two recording unit in each side are aligned vertically in close proximity to the intermediate transfer body which has a surface on which color toner image is deposited by the respective recording units. The toner image is then transferred onto and thermally fixed on an image recording medium.

A chromatic image recording apparatus comprises a gradation control member, an image reading member, a hue characteristics calculating member and a hue characteristics control member. In the chromatic image recording apparatus, the optimum exposing conditions of an original having a deviated color balance can be easily established. The output chromatic image of desired quality can be obtained, irrespective of any hue characteristics of the chromatic image on the original. When a brightness characteristics calculating member and a brightness characteristics control member replace the hue characteristics calculating member and the hue characteristics control member, the output chromatic image of desired quality can be obtained, irrespective of any brightness characteristics of the chromatic image on the original. When the chromatic image recording apparatus additionally comprises an auxiliary exposure member and an auxiliary exposure control member, the output chromatic image can be reproduced with an improved color gradation.

An image recording apparatus having an exposure unit, a pressure developing unit and a thermal fixing unit for forming an output color image on a developer medium which image corresponds to a latent image formed on a photosensitive pressure sensitive recording medium or microcapsule sheet. The apparatus is further provided with a sensor means for detecting one of humidity at or around the exposure unit, temperature at or around the exposure unit, temperature at or around a pressure developing unit, temperature at the thermal fixing unit, a pressure developing speed of the pressure developing unit, and pressure level of the pressure developing unit. In response to the detection, exposure condition or pressure developing condition is controllable.

In an image formation system such as color copying machine, a micro-capsule paper as a photosensitive and pressure-sensitive medium and a developer paper as an image recording medium are fed in an overlapped state in a gap defined between two rollers having different diameters disposed in a pressure developing unit of the image formation system. In the pressure developing unit, the gap between two rollers is pressure adjusted by the cam assembly which comprises a cam support member disposed to be movable in directions contacting to and being separated from one roller, a plurality of cams mounted to the cam support member, an elastically deformable member supported by the frame member for applying pressure to the cam by the elastic deformation caused by the contact to the cams and a pressure transferring member mounted to the cam support member for transferring the pressure caused by the pressure applying member to the one roller, thus uniformly adjusting the pressure distribution to the papers between two rollers. The distance between the cam support member and the pressure applying member be adjusted by disposing and adjusting the wedge member. The cams selectively operated in accordance with the sizes of the papers to be utilized.
