    摘要: A toner supply control system of the electrophotographic apparatus which includes a developing unit 3 for developing with a developer composed of toner and carrier; a toner hopper 4 for storing the toner; a toner empty sensor 7 for detecting the remainder of toner in the toner hopper 4; and a toner supply drive unit 5 for conveying toner from the outside of the apparatus into the toner hopper 4. Toner is conveyed from the outside into the toner hopper 4 by driving the toner supply drive unit 5 over a predetermined period of time without stopping the operation of the electrophotographic apparatus when the toner empty sensor 7 detects over a predetermined period of time that the remainder of toner in the toner hopper 4 is small. Then the existence of an output signal outputted from the toner empty sensor 7 indicating that the remainder of toner is small is detected, and a previous signal of toner shortage is output while the developing operation of the electrophotographic apparatus is being maintained in the case of existence of the output signal, and the shortage of toner is reported to an operator in accordance with the previous signal of toner shortage.

    摘要: An electrophotographic apparatus for transferring a toner image formed on a photosensitive drum onto a sheet of paper and melt-fixing the toner image on the sheet of paper, having a paper detector at a predetermined position in a transporting path of the sheet of paper, the paper detector being composed of a light projector, a reflecting member for reflecting a primary light beam emitted from the light projector and a light receiver for sensing a secondary light beam reflected by the reflecting member, to prevent erroneous detections the light receiver is placed at a position relatively displaced with respect to a position where the light projector is located so that the primary light beam and the secondary light beam have tilting components to both a plane parallel to a transporting plane of the sheet of paper and a plane vertical to the transporting plane.

    摘要: A film loading method of an image forming apparatus, includes: loading an endless film which was stored in a container box, using at least two support members, to a film frame of the image forming apparatus, wherein the film is supported by the support members in a different form with respect to a condition of the film when loaded and fitted to the film frame. The support members are initially stored in the container box and serve as a packaging member for use in transporting and storing the film. The support members are attached to respective portions of the film frame and guide the film to be loaded and fitted onto the film frame. The film frame includes holding rollers, and the support members are attached to the respective portions of the film frame, coaxially with the holding rollers.
