    摘要: An image forming device comprises a plurality of unit modules arranged in a main scanning direction, each unit module having a light source that modulates according to image data and a deflection unit which deflects the light emitted from the light source to scan a surface to be scanned. Areas scanned with each unit module are joined together to record the image. The image data includes fixed pixel areas in number equal to the number of the unit modules and which have one scanning line in common with the adjacent fixed pixel area, and variable pixel areas that link up the fixed pixel areas. The image data is constructed by adding pixels of each unit module to the variable pixel areas at a record start side or a record stop side of the fixed pixel areas, and the variable pixel areas are commonly shared between two neighboring unit modules.

    摘要: The invention concerns image-recording apparatus, which records an image onto a sheet-film. The image-recording apparatus includes a mainframe; a main/sub-scanning unit that includes a main-scanning unit to expose a light-beam onto a sheet-film by scanning the light-beam in a main-scanning direction and a sub-scanning unit to convey the sheet-film in a sub-scanning direction; and a supporting member to mount and support the main/sub-scanning unit onto the mainframe at a supporting position. The height of the supporting position is substantially the same as that of a center of gravity of the main/sub-scanning unit. The sub-scanning unit is detachably integrated with the main-scanning unit to form the main/sub-scanning unit.

    摘要: In an image reading apparatus, an original placed on an original glass table is illuminated by a light source, and a light beam corresponding to image information of an original surface illuminated with the light source is focused on a sensor by an imaging optical system. The sensor for reading image information is so disposed as not to be perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging optical system. In an apparatus, &thgr;i≧sin−1(NAi) is satisfied, where &thgr;i is the tilt angle of the sensor with respect to the optical axis of the imaging optical system, and NAi is the numerical aperture of the imaging optical system on a sensor side.

    摘要: An automatic document feeder (ADF) used in a facsimile machine, photocopier or the like. A sheet path from a sheet inlet to outlet is defined by lower, intermediate and upper frames of the ADF. The sheet path is generally shaped like nullCnull when viewed laterally. The intermediate frame has a pivotable member that can be opened and closed, and a guide member for guiding a sheet passing over a platen glass. An elastic member is provided for biasing the guide member on the platen surface from a turning portion of the C-shaped sheet path. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a clearance between the platen surface and guide member and prevent the sheet from flapping. A retard roller is removably supported by the pivotable member so that replacing and maintenance of the retard roller is simplified. Further, the pivotable member is a one-piece element and made from resin. A plurality of ribs extending in a sheet feed direction are provided near the sheet inlet and/or outlet so that the weight of the automatic document feeder is reduced and movements of the sheets are facilitated.

    摘要: A compliant mirror mounting system for holding a mirror may comprise a frame having first, second, and third mounting points thereon for receiving the mirror. The first, second, and third mounting points of the frame define a mounting plane containing an X-axis and a Y-axis of an orthogonal X-Y-Z coordinate system, wherein the first and second mounting points are located a spaced distance part along the X-axis. A first spring clip positioned adjacent the first mounting point holds the mirror against the first mounting point and forms a first Y-axis barrier which prevents a first end of the mirror from moving along the Y-axis by a distance that exceeds a Y-axis tolerance. A second spring clip positioned adjacent the second mounting point holds the mirror against the second mounting point and forms a second Y-axis barrier which prevents a second end of the mirror from moving along the Y-axis by a distance that exceeds the Y-axis tolerance. A third spring clip positioned adjacent the third mounting point holds the mirror against the third mounting point.

    摘要: An automatic paper feeder of a document input device includes a pick roller 20, separator pads 68 that come into contact with the pick roller 20, a first pair of pick springs 58, and a second pick spring 60. The first pick springs 58 are disposed on the upstream side of the second pick spring 60 in the direction of conveying the paper. The first pick springs 58 are disposed on the regions on both outer sides of the width of the separator pads 68 in the axial direction of the roller, and the second pick spring 60 is disposed at a central position in the width of the separator pad 68. The first and second pick springs 58 and 60 are integrally formed as a spring unit using a single metal plate, and a force of contact of the first pick springs 58 upon the pick roller 20 on the upstream side is smaller than a force of contact of the second pick spring 60 upon the pick roller 20 on the downstream side. The separator pad 68 is formed by branching a web 70 of a rubber sheet into fork-like pad units. The spring unit and the pad units are supported together by a bracket 76 and a holder member 78.

    摘要: A small-size copying machine has an image sensor and a print head for printing image information or visible data on copying paper. The copying machine is moved over an original document to read the visible data with the image sensor, and the visible data read by the image sensor is printed by the print head on the copying paper. The reading of the visible data with the image sensor is synchronized with the printing of the visible data onto the copying paper with the print head by fixing an end of the copying paper discharged from the copying machine and moving the copying machine with respect to the original document. The distance from the position where the visible data of the original document is read to an outlet slit for discharging the copying paper therethrough is equal to the distance from the position where the visible data is printed by the print head on the copying machine to the outlet slit, so that the data printed on the copying paper and the image of the original document will be overlapped. The copying machine may have a tapered body portion with a reading slit defined therein for facilitating the reading of the original document with the copying machine. The copying machine may have an inclined bottom panel for allowing the copying machine to be moved easily over the original document. The copying machine may also have on sides thereof markings for indicating a width and a position where the original document is to be copied.
