摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable photosensitive member, a charging member, an exposure unit, a developing member, a developing voltage applying portion, a transfer member, a first transfer voltage applying portion, a second transfer voltage applying portion, a common power source, and a controller. The controller carries out control so as to execute an image forming operation, and a non-image forming operation and so as to execute, as the non-image forming operation, a cleaning operation. The controller controls a change in output of the common power source so that a value of a voltage applied from the developing voltage applying portion to the developing member during the cleaning operation is made different from a value of a voltage applied from the developing voltage applying portion to the developing member during formation of the toner image.

摘要: In a cartridge, a housing has a developer accommodating portion and includes a first side wall and a second side wall. A coupling member is disposed at a position opposite to the developer accommodating portion with respect to the first side wall. A detection body is disposed at a position opposite to the developer accommodating portion with respect to the second side wall. A first driving force transmission member is positioned at the same side with the coupling member with respect to the first side wall, and transmits driving force from the coupling member to a rotating member. A second driving force transmission member is positioned at the same side with the detection body with respect to the second side wall, and transmits driving force from the rotating member to the detection body.

摘要: An apparatus includes a developer to receive a toner, and an actuator moveable between different positions. An electrical switch is responsive to an input stimulus from the actuator to control a voltage that enables or disrupts a transfer of the toner from the developer to a photoreceptor, where the electrical switch when in a first state sets the voltage at a first level to enable the transfer of the toner from the developer to the photoreceptor, and the electrical switch when in a second state sets the voltage at a second level to disrupt the transfer of the toner from the developer to the photoreceptor.

摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member and a developer bearing member. A first period is from when rotational drive of the developer bearing member is started until increased to a speed at which the image forming apparatus performs image forming. A first absolute value of a difference between a developer bearing member surface potential Vdc and an image bearing member surface potential Vd, as determined when the image bearing member is facing the developer bearing member, is obtained during the first period. The value |Vdc−Vd| obtained during the first period is smaller than the value |Vdc−Vd| obtained after the first period. During the first period, the image bearing member surface potential Vd at the facing position is a first potential and, after the first period, the image bearing member surface potential Vd at the facing position becomes a second potential different from the first potential.

摘要: An image forming apparatus controls a generation circuit to modulate a DC component of a developing voltage based on a first correction component such that a density unevenness is reduced. The image forming apparatus further restricts the first correction component for modulating the DC component of the developing voltage such that fogging of toner that may occur on a non-exposure region which is not exposed by an exposure unit and adhesion to a photosensitive member of carrier included in a developer are reduced.

摘要: A power supply apparatus generates an output voltage. A boost circuit boosts a voltage supplied from a reference voltage source and generates a first power supply voltage. A processor controls switching the boost circuit on and off. A first transistor is connected to the first power supply voltage. A second transistor is connected to a collector of the first transistor. A resistance element is connected to a collector of the second transistor. A voltage source is connected to the resistance element and generates a second power supply voltage. A collector voltage, which is an output voltage, of the second transistor is controlled by controlling an amount of base current of the first transistor.
