A fusing apparatus includes a fusing section, a supplying section and a control section. The supplying section supplies airflow between a recording medium and the fusing section. The supplying section includes a supplying opening of the airflow divided in a plurality of blocks along a width direction of the recording medium. The control section controls at least any one of speed of the airflow and supply amount of the airflow individually for each of the plurality of blocks based on information regarding the recording medium.

Provided is a fixing belt wherein the surface roughness of the inner peripheral surface of the fixing belt is designed with consideration given not only to the height of the protruding section and the depth of the recessed section but also to the expansion of the protruding section and recessed section in the lateral direction so that the contact resistance, hence, the sliding resistance can be reduced, and stable holding of the lubricant can be ensured. A fixing belt used in an image forming apparatus to fix a toner image on a recording material; wherein a wavy pattern which has a height of 3 to 5 μm at a pitch of 4 to 5 mm is formed on an inner peripheral surface, and a roughened structure which has a height of 3 to 4 μm at a pitch 0.1 mm is formed.

An image forming apparatus/method transports a sheet to an image forming unit that can form images on both sheet sides. The sheet is fed to the image forming unit at a predetermined image formation start timing for the first side image formation, thereafter is reversed, and re-fed to the image forming unit for the second side image formation while the first side image-formed sheet waits at least one of sheet waiting positions. A full state, where all the sheet waiting positions are full of the first side image-formed sheets, is detected. The number of sheets transported is controlled so that it is greater than the number of the sheet waiting positions. When the full state is detected, the sheet re-feeding is controlled so that a head sheet among the first side image-formed sheets waiting at the sheet waiting positions is fed in advance of the predetermined image formation start timing.

A swing lever is fixed to a pivot shaft to pivot the pivot shaft about a pivot axis thereof. A wiper arm is directly connected to a distal end portion of the pivot shaft and is pivoted together with the pivot shaft about the pivot axis of the pivot shaft when the pivot shaft is driven by the swing lever. The wiper arm is pivotable about a pivot axis thereof, which is generally perpendicular to or is tilted relative to the pivot axis of the pivot shaft, toward or away from a wiping surface. A coil spring is directly or indirectly connected between the wiper arm and the swing lever to exert an urging force to urge the wiper arm toward the wiping surface in a wiping operational position of the wiper arm for wiping the wiping surface.

An objective of the present invention is to provide the solid-state imaging device and the driving method thereof which can control: a poor picture quality, such as blooming, to maximize a dynamic range of the photodiode; and a poor picture quality resulted from an incomplete read-out operation. A solid-state imaging device in the present invention includes: a solid-state imaging element; and a driving pulse controlling unit applying a driving pulse to each of read-out gates of a column CCD. The driving pulse controlling unit transfers in a column direction signal charge within a charge transfer region of the column CCD by applying a column transfer clock having a LOW level voltage and a MIDDLE level voltage, and the LOW level voltage and the MIDDLE level voltage are minus voltages.

An image forming apparatus capable of improving productivity in a print job mixedly involving single-sided printing and double-sided printing. Sheets are fed one by one to an image forming section. When double-sided printing is to be performed, a sheet having an image formed on the first side thereof by the image forming section is re-fed thereto so as to have an image formed on the second side thereof. When a sheet for double-sided printing exists, which is posterior in page order to a sheet for single-sided printing, an image forming order is changed such that the first side of the sheet for double-sided printing is subjected to image formation prior to the sheet for single-sided printing. When it is predicted that a state will occur in which the sheet for single-sided printing cannot be fed, the image forming order is not changed.

There is described a fixing device provided with a fixing belt, including a belt-shaped fixing member, which makes it possible to obtain a good image quality and an appropriate driving torque, by considering not only heights of the protrusions and depths of the depressions, but also widths of the protrusions and depressions included in an unevenness created on the inner circumferential surface of the belt-shaped fixing member. The maximum value of filtered waviness profile (W cm) of the unevenness is set at a value in a range of 0.8-10.0, while the profile bearing length (tp) of the unevenness, under 50% cutting level, is set in a range of 25%-70%. The fixing device also includes an rubbing member so that a lubricant agent is retained between the inner circumferential surface of the belt-shaped fixing member and the rubbing member.
