摘要:
A toner density detection method for an electrophotographic apparatus in which driving of a rotary roll provided at an outlet of a special vessel is continued for a predetermined period of time (e.g., several seconds) after the operation of the electrophotographic apparatus is stopped. All or substantially all of the developing agent is thus exhausted or removed from the special vessel after the electrophotographic apparatus is stopped, so that the true permeability of the developing agent can be detected by a permeability sensor when the operation of the electrophotographic apparatus is restarted. As a result, the toner density of the developing agent can be controlled and kept normal, so that the printing quality can be stabilized.

An electrophotographic apparatus system or an electrophotographic apparatus provided according to the present invention has the discrepancy of printing speed between tandem and single printing removed. The electrophotographic apparatus system or the electrophotographic apparatus is provided with printing speed changeover means 23a, 23b, 24 not only to select a printing speed applicable for the case where printing is effected with a plurality of electrophotographic apparatus A, B operatively linked together and another printing speed serviceable for the case where printing is implemented with each of plural electrophotographic apparatus put into separate run independently of one another, but also to shift the printing speeds from one to another, whereby the electrophotographic apparatus system or the electrophotographic apparatus may provide normal performance in each of the respective formations of printing.

A toner recovering device for an electrophotographic apparatus, which includes: a dust collector connected to a device for cleaning untransferred toner remaining on a photosensitive body; a toner recovering filter having an inlet port for introducing an air-toner mixture from the dust collector side and an exhaust port for filtering the air-toner mixture and discharging the air from which the toner has been removed; a filter mounting section for mounting the toner recovering filter; a joint mechanism having a joint and a hose member, one end of the hose member capable of being connected to the dust collector and other end thereof being joint, the joint being disposed at the inlet port, the joint mechanism being arranged in the filter mounting section in such a manner as to be opened and closed; a detector for sensing that the toner recovering filter has been mounted or not onto the filter mounting section; and a pulling member for coupling the inlet port of the toner recovering filter to the joint in synchronism with an operation of mounting the toner recovering filter onto the filter mounting section.
摘要:
When a developing agent prepared to have a preset toner density is loaded in a developing unit, a comparing reference level for controlling the toner density in the developing agent is changed to a value higher than the preset value in the initial stage of operation and fresh toner is supplied to the developing agent so that the toner density of the developing agent is increased in comparison to the reference level. Thereby, the developed density is prevented from decreasing due to an excess amount of friction charge of the toner.
摘要:
An electrophotographic device has a photosensitive element, an electrifier that forms a uniform electrostatic potential on the photosensitive element, and a light source for irradiating the photosensitive element to obtain an electrostatic latent image that has a reduced potential. A bias potential is applied to the photosensitive element after the latent image is formed, but before it is developed, so that the reduced potential of the latent image can be maintained at a constant level. With constant potentials existing on the photosensitive element, a printed image of high quality is obtained.
