    摘要: An image forming apparatus with a duplex printing function may include a closeable and openable portion. In one example, the portion may correspond to a cover of the image forming apparatus. The cover may include guiding portions configured to define a return path for duplex printing. In another example, the portion may correspond to a document reading unit including an outer casing. A portion of the outer casing may be configured to guide a recording sheet that is conveyed out of a housing of the image forming apparatus by a switchback roller. In one example, the switchback roller may convey a recording sheet to a position above an upper surface of the outer casing.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feed unit which feeds a sheet to an image forming unit forming an image on the sheet, a re-transport roller which reverses the sheet with a toner image fixed on the sheet and re-transports the sheet to the image forming unit, and a control unit which controls a sheet feed operation of the sheet feed unit for feeding the sheet. As the temperature of the re-transport roller sensed by the temperature sensing unit is decreased, the control unit retards the timing at which the sheet feed unit starts the sheet feed operation when a duplex image formation in which the image is formed on both sides of the sheet is performed after a one-side image formation is completed.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus (1) includes a main body (10), a recording medium accommodating section (20), a paper feed section (30), an upstream conveyance section (60), an image forming section (40), a downstream conveyance section (70), a reverse conveyance section (P2), a covering member (80), and a movable guide section (90). The downstream conveyance section (70) includes an ejection section (50) and a reversing section (73). The covering member (80) moves between a closed position where the upstream conveyance section (60) is composed and an open position where the upstream conveyance section (60) is exposed. The movable guide section (90) moves between a first position where the downstream conveyance section (70) is composed and a second position where the downstream conveyance section is exposed. The movable guide section (90) moves in conjunction with the covering member (80), is located at the first position to guide a recording medium reversed by the reversing section (73) from a first reverse path (Pr1) to a second reverse path (Pr2) when the covering member (80) is located at the closed position, and is located at the second position when the covering member (80) is located at the open position.

    摘要: An acquisition unit acquires output data including first image data including first clear toner plane data and second image data including color plane data and second clear toner plane data. When the output data includes the first image data, a first output unit outputs first print data including first identification information representing an instruction to form an image on a first recording medium to which clear toner has not been applied to an image forming unit. When the output image includes the first image data and the second image data, a second output unit outputs second print data including second identification information representing an image formation instruction for a second recording medium to which the clear toner has been applied. When the output data does not include the first image data but includes the second image data, the second output unit outputs third print data including the first identification information.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body, an image forming unit, and a retransporting unit. The retransporting unit includes a transporting roller for applying a transporting force to the sheet and an input portion disposed at a position shifted upstream of the transporting roller in a retransporting direction. The input portion is configured to receive an input of a drive force supplied from the apparatus body. The retransporting unit further includes a drive shaft extending in a retransporting direction. The drive shaft is configured to transmit the drive force from the input portion toward the transporting roller by rotating about an axis thereof. A height of the image forming apparatus may be reduced by this configuration.
