摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes: a developing unit for developing a latent image on an image bearing member by using a developer containing toner and a carrier; and a detecting unit for detecting a density of a detection reference toner image, wherein detection results obtained by the detecting unit are employed to control a toner replenishment operation for the developing unit, and wherein, when the detection results obtained by the detecting unit is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, a residual toner amount determination mode is performed. The residual toner amount determination mode includes: a toner replenishment step of performing an operation for replenishing toner; a detecting step of performing the detecting unit to detect the density of the detection reference toner image; and a comparison step of comparing a first detection result obtained at the detection step with a second detection result obtained by the detecting unit before said toner replenishment step is performed the first time, and for which respective performance of the steps is enabled while an image forming operation is halted, and wherein, based on the results obtained at said comparison step, whether the residual toner amount determination mode should be continued is determined.

A developing device (50) includes a developing sleeve (53) for supplying toner particles (T) to a latent image area (22) on a peripheral surface of a photoconductive drum (20) while rotating about a central shaft (534). The developing sleeve (53) has an immovable sleeve magnet (533) therein. Two magnetic members (82) are disposed in opposite end portions of the developing sleeve (53) and are spaced a predetermined distance from the peripheral surface of the developing sleeve. Each magnet member (82) has an arc shape. A magnetic member magnet (83) is mounted in the magnet member (82) and faces a sleeve magnet (533) so that opposite facing portions of the magnetic member magnet (83) and the sleeve magnet (533) have the same polarity. With this construction, toner particles are prevented from leaking from the end portions of the developing sleeve (53).

摘要:
There is described an image forming apparatus, which prevents an occurrence of worm-shaped image irregularities even in the high-speed developing operation to form a high quality image. In the image forming apparatus, the contact developing employing a two components developer including toner and carrier is conducted in such a manner that the latent image bearing member and the developer bearing member move in directions being opposite relative to each other at a developing region where the latent image bearing member and the developer bearing member are opposed to each other. The frequency of the AC current component and a line velocity of the latent image bearing member fulfill a condition indicated as follow: vp/f≦70condition 1 where vp (mm/sec) is the line velocity of the latent image bearing member and f (kHz) is the frequency of the AC current component.

摘要:
An amount of toner adhered to a toner image formed on the photosensitive drum using decolorizing toner when forming an image is controlled to 0.75 (mg/cm2) or below. As a result, a toner image formed on a paper is erased satisfactorily for the purpose of reusing the paper and the image density remaining on the paper is lowered.
