    摘要: An apparatus for forming images on at least one surface of a sheet includes a reader for reading image information on documents, a memory for storing image signals output by the reader, and an image forming unit for selectively forming one of: (i) two page toner images corresponding to the image signals of two pages of the documents separately on two image carrying members, and (ii) a single toner image on one of the two image carrying members. A jam detector detects a jammed sheet, and a delivery detector detects delivery of a copied sheet to outside the apparatus. Image signals are eliminated from memory in accordance with a progression of image formation. If the jam detector detects the occurrence of the jammed sheet, a control unit prohibits the memory from eliminating the image signals until the delivery detector detects a next sheet delivered from the apparatus, so that the selected image expected to be formed by the image forming unit on the jammed sheet may be properly formed on a following sheet based on the image signals retained in the memory. A selector is provided for selecting one of a both-surface copy mode and a single-surface copy mode, wherein the control unit controls the memory to store the image signals corresponding to two pages of the documents when the both-surface copy mode is selected and to store the image signals corresponding to the single page of the documents when the single-surface copy mode is selected.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a process cartridge that incorporates a photoreceptor and a plurality of developing devices. The process cartridge is provided with a first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor and a second driving shaft to independently drive the developing devices. When the process cartridge is mounted in the image forming apparatus which includes spaced apart first and second gears, the first and second driving shafts are coupled separately with the spaced apart first and second gears so that driving forces are separately transmitted to the first and second driving shafts. A flywheel is mounted on a third driving shaft that is coupled with the first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor. Since the developing devices are constructed to receive a large number of different possible loads, the developers are placed in a condition where vibrations are created easily by the driving of the various possible loads. The driving of the photoreceptor is arranged to be independent of the driving of the developing devices so that vibrations generated by the driving of the developing devices are not transmitted to the photoreceptor. Furthermore, the flywheel is provided on the third driving shaft, and a third gear is mounted on the third driving shaft. Since the third gear is coupled with the first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor, the rotation of the photoreceptor will be smoothed out by the presence of the flywheel.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus in which a process cartridge contains at least an image carrying member, a developing unit and a developer replenishment unit. The process cartridge can be mounted to or removed from the apparatus for its replacement. The process cartridge can take a first position where images can be formed and a second position where developer can be replenished. The process cartridge can be moved from the first position to the second position when a detector for detecting the depletion of the developer outputs a detection signal.
