    摘要: An imaging apparatus such that residual toner on a transfer/conveyer mechanism such as a transfer belt and an intermediate transfer material is effectively removable. High-tension voltage opposite in magnetic polarity (plus) to the charged toner and a photosensitive drum is applied to a discharger 15 provided ahead of a drive member 12 for driving a transfer belt 6. The residual toner on the transfer belt 6 is removed by a brush 21, and the residual foreign substances come in contact with the photosensitive drum 1 and move onto the photosensitive drum 1 before a printing operation is started. The foreign substances are then removed by a photosensitive drum cleaner.

    摘要: A fixing system for fixing toner images onto an image printing system such that the image printing medium bearing the toner images on the obverse side and the reverse sides thereof is passed through a nip area between a pair of fixing rollers. In the nip area, a rotation speed of a first fixing roller, which comes into contact with a not-yet fixed toner image, which is formed on the obverse side of the image printing medium, is set to be substantially equal to a rotation speed of a second fixing roller, which comes in contact with a not-yet fixed toner image, formed on the reverse side of the image printing medium. This is accomplished by setting the diameters of the various layers of the first fixing roller to be equal to that of the second fixing roller. When the image printing medium is moved through the nip area by the fixing rollers, a moving speed of the upper side of the image printing medium is equal to that of the lower side thereof. Thus, stresses on the image printing medium are not caused, and no character blur takes place.

A medium transporting path for transporting the image printing medium is formed between the first and the second image forming units. A first transferring unit, located facing the first image forming unit with the medium transporting path intervening therebetween, for applying no charge onto the rear side of the image printing medium, which does not face the first image forming unit. A second transferring unit being located facing the second image forming unit with the image printing medium with the medium transporting path intervening therebetween, in a state that the second transferring unit is apart from a first toner image formed on the image printing medium by the first image forming unit. In the both-side printing system thus constructed, the first and the second image forming units, and the first and the second transferring units cooperate to form first and second toner images on both sides of the image printing medium, the first and the second toner images being opposite in polarity.

    摘要: It has been discovered that a cause of a transfer member winding on an image carrier at the time of transfer is attributable to a discharge in a gap formed between a forward end of the image carrier and a transfer member transporter and is characterized in that the discharge in that gap is ineffectuated by being controlled. An image-forming apparatus capable of preventing not only the winding on the image carrier, but also the fouling of the forward end even when the transfer member is changed in size, is provided by controlling the discharge in the gap. The gap may be ineffectuated by being pressed physically using a guide, thereby preventing the discharge in the gap. As an alternative, the transfer charge amount is controlled in accordance with the position where the forward end of the image carrier passes the transfer element.
