摘要:
A multi-color image forming apparatus, for forming a superimposed multi-color image on a transfer material, includes: a latent image bearing member; device for forming a latent image on the image bearing member; plural developing devices containing different color developers for developing the latent image in different colors; device for accommodating the plural developing devices; guiding device for guiding the developing device between a first position within the accommodating device and a second position adjacent the image bearing member; driving device for moving the developing device between the first position and the second position for exchanging the developing device at the second position; device for discriminating the plural developing devices; and a second developing device disposed adjacent the image bearing member at a different position; wherein when plural colors are selected for development; a discrimination is made as to whether the developing device containing the developer of the selected color is at the first position or not, and if so, the developing device located at the first position is operated before the other of the plural developing devices, irrespective of the order of the selection.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus for forming a developed image includes a developing device for developing an image on an image bearing member, a passage along which the developing device is movable continuously between an inside position where the developing device is inside the apparatus and an outside position where the developing device is at least partly outside the apparatus, a driver for automatically moving the developing device along the passage and one or more pressing members for pressing the developing device toward the image bearing member. The driver includes a driving source and transmission which are operative to move the developing device in response to the opening of a cover which covers an inlet to the passage.
摘要:
A copying apparatus having an optical scanning system includes an upper casing that can be opened and closed and a scanning device on the upper casing for scanning an original. The scanning device includes an abnormality detector for detecting the occurrence of an abnormality during a copy operation. When an abnormality is detected by the detector, the scanning device is moved to a scanning start position.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium, comprising a first frame, a second frame rotatable with respect to the first frame around a rotational center, and a gripper portion formed on the first frame at a position immediately below the hinge means, to be gripped for lifting and transmitting the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus can be made light weight and inexpensive, and stable transportation of the apparatus is ensured.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a sheet support for accommodating an image-forming sheet; an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet; a document reading section having a document placing table for reading image information of the document; an ADF in which a document is feedable to the document reading section and displaceable so as to allow placement of the document onto the document placing table; and a sheet discharging section on which a sheet with an image formed thereon by the image forming unit is discharged and stacked by arranging them in the image forming apparatus from the lower part thereof toward the upper part in order. The image forming apparatus further has a transferring section for transferring a sheet with an image formed thereon to the sheet discharging section which is held movably in the vertical direction.
