    摘要: An image-forming apparatus includes first and second photosensitive drums, first and second image-forming portion including first and second development rollers configured to bear developers composed of first and second toner particles and organosilicon protrusions formed on surfaces of the first and second toner particles, an intermediate transfer member to which a developer image is to be transferred in first and second contact portions in contact with the first and second photosensitive drums, and a transfer member configured to transfer the developer image to a recording material in a transfer portion. The first contact portion is formed downstream of the transfer portion and upstream of the second contact portion in a movement direction of the surface of the intermediate transfer member. A protrusion formed on the second developer has a lower height than a protrusion formed on the first developer.

    摘要: A developing device includes a rotatable developing member, a developing container, a first communication opening, a second communication opening, a first feeding screw including a first rotation shaft, first and second blade portions, a second feeding screw including a second rotation shaft, third and fourth blade portions, a developer discharge opening provided upstream of an upstream end of the second communication opening in a first direction, and a third communication opening provided upstream of the upstream end of the second communication opening in the first direction. In a second direction opposite to the first direction, the third communication opening overlaps with the second blade portion. In the first direction, the third communication opening overlaps with the fourth blade portion. In the first direction, a downstream end of the third communication opening is positioned downstream of a downstream end of the developer discharge opening.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an intermediary transfer member; a first image forming portion including a first developing device and a detecting portion; a second image forming portion including a second developing device; a contact-and-separation mechanism capable of setting a first state and a second state; and an executing portion capable of executing an operation in a first monochromatic mode in the first state and capable of executing an operation in a second monochromatic mode in the second state. When a toner amount in the first developing device is below a predetermined amount on the basis of the detecting portion during an image forming operation for continuously forming the black image in the operation in the first monochromatic mode, the executing portion continuously executes the image forming operation in the second state.

    摘要: A multi pass type color image forming apparatus and control method are provided. The apparatus advances an exposure time point of forming electrostatic latent images of second and subsequent colors more than that of a first color of a page during consecutive printing or reduces the velocity of a motor to rotate an intermediate transfer belt to minimize a color registration error between a developing agent image of the first color and developing agent images of the subsequent colors of the page caused by cleaning of the intermediate transfer belt and a control method thereof.
