A simple optical recorder which permits alignment of scanning positions of a plurality of laser beams with high accuracy and effects optical recording using the laser beams. The optical recorder is provided with a photosensitive drum which is scanned by a plurality of laser beams formed in rows at an inclined angle with respect to the direction of scan, a single photosensor for sensing each of the sweep positions of the laser beams, and a controller for controlling the scanning positions of the laser beams on the basis of a sensing result of the sensor. The controller is made up of an optical sensing signal separation circuit, synchronous clock generation circuits, FIFO memory circuit elements, and OR circuits.

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.
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.
摘要:
A method of optically recording original information supplied from information generating device on an optical recording material in an optical recording apparatus, comprising the steps of: generating, from the original information, interpolating information which is to be interpolated in a sub-scanning direction of the optical recording material; and optically recording the interpolating information in the sub-scanning direction by a plurality of laser beams.

A developing device in an electrophotographic apparatus, wherein a pole c.sub.1 which is a delivering magnetic pole of the second developing roll for delivering the developer to the first developing roll and a pole d.sub.1 which is a receiving magnetic pole of the second developing roll for receiving the developer from the first developing roll are set so as to be the same in polarity, whereas a pole a.sub.2 which is a receiving magnetic pole of the first developing roll for receiving the developer from the second developing roll and a pole g.sub.2 which is a delivering magnetic pole of the first developing roll for delivering the developer to the second developing roll are set to be equal in polarity, wherein each of an angle between the poles c.sub.1 and d.sub.1 and an angle between the poles a.sub.2 and g.sub.2 is set so as to be in a range of from 70.degree. to 120.degree., and wherein the magnetic flux density of each of a reaction pole induced between the poles c.sub.1 and d.sub.1 and a reaction pole induced between the poles a.sub.2 and g.sub.2 is set so as to be less than or equal to 0.015 tesla.
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.

The work involved in replacing the fixing lamps in a printer is made easy, and the non-operational period of the printer associated with such maintenance work is shortened. A portion of a fixing lamp is formed in a lamp cartridge which includes a first lamp holder for holding one end of the fixing lamp; a second lamp holder for holding the other end of the fixing lamp; and a protective member holding portion for holding a lamp protective member which is attached depending on necessity. The protective member holding portion is arranged around a region where the lamp holding member is placed, and, thereby, all of the plurality of fixing lamps are capable of being attached to and removed from the heating roller as a unit from one end of the heating roller.
