摘要:
An image forming apparatus for forming hardcopy images by electrophotographic process using a developing device for toner developing and chargers for charging and discharging by corona discharge, the image forming apparatus having cleaners for removing toner adhering to a charge wire of each charger, each cleaner is operated when a predetermined amount of toner has been supplied to the developing device. In another example, each cleaner is operated when a toner accommodating bottle becomes empty and is detached from the image forming apparatus.
摘要:
A multiple color image forming apparatus, wherein colors or kinds of copying paper contained in paper feed cassettes as well as colors of developers contained in a plurality of developing devices are detected to prevent image forming, which is indistinguishable due to mismatching between the color or kind of copying paper and the color of developer, and the developing device containing the developer of suitable color for the color or kind of copying paper is automatically selected in response to the detected result of the color or kind of copying paper and the color of developer to prevent misforming of the image and to improve the operation easiness.
摘要:
Copying apparatus is provided in which outline copying for only a designated area of an original image can be easily selected. An area for the outline copying can be designated and images inside and outside the designated area can be copied in different colors. The arrangement includes a plurality of keys for designating an area of an original image to be copied and a scorotron charger for causing a potential in areas other than the outline portions of an electrostatic latent image, formed on a photoreceptor drum, to be substantially equal to a potential in an area containing the image. An eraser unit is provided for erasing the charge in an area where development is not required and a developing device develops the electrostatic latent image. A transfer charger is provided for transferring the image developed by the developing device onto copying paper. When an area of the original images designated and an outline image forming mode is selected by the operator of the machine, two copy operations are performed to composite an outlined image formed inside or outside the designated area and a normal image formed in the area which does not include the outline image so that a composite image is copied onto the copy paper.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a first rotator by which one surface of a paper is subjected to image transferring, image fixing, or other processings, a second rotator which presses the paper against the first rotator from the other surface of the paper, a space changing unit which changes a space between axial cores of the first rotator and the second rotator, a feeding unit which feeds the paper between the first rotator and the second rotator, and a control unit which adjusts a driving timing of the space changing unit in accordance with the driving of the feeding unit, wherein when the paper is thinner than a set value, the control unit makes the paper enter between both the rotators in a state where the second rotator is pressed against the first rotator, and when the paper is equal to or thicker than the set value, the control unit controls to press the second rotator against the first rotator at a timing where a distal end of the paper passes through between both the rotators.
摘要:
Provided is an image data transmitter in which, in the event of transmission of the same image data to multiple recipients, the image data with added supplementary information different for each of the multiple recipients can be transmitted through easy operation. Further provided is an image data communication system using the image data transmitter. An image of a document is read out, and a destination of the image is set. Multiple destinations can be set. Then, selection is performed whether or not to input supplementary information. When performing input processing, a destination to which the supplementary information is to be transmitted is selected from the multiple destinations. Subsequently, the supplementary information for the destination is input, and the supplementary information is correlated with the destination. Additionally, the image data and the supplementary information are combined. Then, composite data for the destination is transmitted to the destination.
