Abstract:
A nip roller is provided to interpose a leading portion of a photo film between the nip roller and a core. The nip roller performs a circular motion along the periphery of the core in synchronism with the rotation of the core. The circular motion is performed by first to third motors until the leading portion of the photo film makes one revolution around the core and is just about to be wound in a stack condition. A conveyance slip is hardly caused between the photo film and the core, and between the photo film and the nip roller.
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus, unnecessary light emitted from a light source is irradiated to a solar battery panel in printing or reading an image, and in a standby state. The solar battery panel is provided inside of a light-quality adjusting unit or a balance filter unit, and also provided in a surface to which the light from the light source is irradiated. The solar battery panels are arranged so as to cover gaps: the gap generated between the light-quality adjusting unit or the balance filter unit and the discussion box and the gap generated between the diffusion box and the film carrier. The solar battery panel converts the light from the light source to the electricity. The electricity is charged in a battery to drive a cooling fan.
Abstract:
In a magazine, when a lid is opened for loading a recording material, a discrimination pin is unlocked and shifted from a first position to a second position. When a magazine is set to a printer processor, a positioning pin presses the discrimination pin to shift to the first position, at which the discrimination pin is locked. After removal of the magazine from the printer processor, the discrimination pin is in the first position. When the lid is opened to load fresh recording material in the magazine, the discrimination pin is in the second position. It is discriminated by detecting the position of the discrimination pin whether the magazine is a partially used one. When the partially used magazine is set to the printer processor, a forward edge of the recording material is not cut.
