摘要： It is determined whether a performing condition for first welding detection is satisfied. If the performing condition for the first welding detection is satisfied, the first welding detection is performed. On the other hand, if the performing condition for the first welding detection is not satisfied, the first welding detection is skipped. The performing condition for the first welding detection is that second welding detection has detected welding of a relay. The first welding detection is performed before image formation is performed. The second welding detection is performed after image formation has ended.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a cyclone portion, a bin, a filter, a fan, a detector and a corrector. The cyclone portion separates toner from air containing dispersed toner by centrifugation. The bin stores the toner separated by the cyclone portion. The filter filters the air from which the toner has been separated by the cyclone portion. The fan generates an air flow for discharging the air which has passed through the filter. The detector detects the bin being full of the toner based on a change of a rotation speed of the fan. The corrector corrects the rotation speed of the fan based on a change of a physical property of the air which corresponds to a change of an environmental condition in image formation.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a cartridge including a photosensitive drum; an endless belt configured to transfer the toner image formed on the drum; an endless belt supporting member movable between a contacting position for contacting the belt to the drum and a non-contacting position retracted from the contacting position away from the drum; and a cartridge supporting member movable between an image forming position in which the drum contacts the belt taking the contacting position and a non-image-forming position in which the cartridge is movable from a inside to a outside of the main assembly. By movement of the belt from the contacting position to the non-contacting position, a space capable of accommodating at least a part of the cartridge supporting member taking the non-image-forming position and/or the cartridge supported by the cartridge supporting member taking the non-image-forming position is provided.

摘要： A multi-function apparatus includes a body, an image reading unit, a document cover and a locking member. The image reading unit is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The document cover is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The locking member is movable to a first position and a second position and includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. In response to a movement of the document cover to the opened position, the locking member moves to the first position and locks the image reading unit to the closed position. In response to a movement of the image reading unit to the opened position, the locking member moves to the second position and locks the document cover to the closed position.

摘要： An image forming device (1) has an image carrier (331), a transfer member (35), a holding member (81) which holds the transfer member, a pressing member (83) which changes a position between a first position and a second position to make the transfer member contact and separate from the image carrier, a first moving member (325) and a second moving member (10P1) which are movable, and a first interlocking mechanism (33T) and a second interlocking mechanism (10Q). The first interlocking mechanism and the second interlocking mechanism press the pressing member to change a position of the pressing member in conjunction with the first moving member and the second moving member. The pressing member includes a first pressed portion (83P1) which is pressed by the first interlocking mechanism, and a second pressed portion (83P2) which is pressed by the second interlocking mechanism.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a paper loading base on which manual-feed paper is loaded, a manual-feed paper conveying unit, and a dustproof cover which covers the paper loading base being in the overhang state. The paper loading base has a lower end rotatably supported on one outer surface portion of the device main body, and is opened from an upper end thereof and disposed at a predetermined oblique angle or in a horizontal overhang state such that an overhang side becomes an upper side in an oblique direction. The manual-feed paper conveying unit is conveys the manual-feed paper on the paper loading base onto a paper conveyance path one by one. The dustproof cover includes a base which engages with the paper loading base, and an opening-and-closing cover which is rotatably connected to the base and is opened upwardly on the overhang side.
