A transfer unit, which transfers a toner image formed on at least one image support to a printing medium, and an image forming apparatus employing the same. The transfer unit includes: an intermediate transfer body to the toner image from the image support, which has a curved transfer surface and an ASKER-A hardness of from about 25° to 40°; a transfer member, which has an ASKER-C hardness of from about 45° to 70°, and which contacts the intermediate transfer body, with a printing medium being interposed therebetween, and transfers the toner image from the intermediate transfer body to the printing medium. The transfer unit may further include: a de-electrifying member having a DC power and an AC power concurrently applied thereto, to de-electrify the printing.

A hydrodynamic bearing having an improved air discharging path for discharging air from the bearing when a shaft is inserted into the bearing, and an apparatus for driving a polygonal mirror using the hydrodynamic bearing. The hydrodynamic bearing includes: a bearing housing having a hollow portion filled with oil, and first and second stepped mounting recesses formed at one end of the hollow portion; a thrust plate installed in the first mounting recess so that one surface of the thrust plate is in contact with one end of the shaft, for supporting the shaft in a thrust direction, a diameter of the thrust plate being smaller than that of the first mounting recess: a first air discharging path formed at the thrust plate and/or the first mounting recess, for discharging air out of an inside of the bearing housing; a cap installed in the second mounting recess, for supporting a lower portion of the thrust plate; and a second air discharging path formed at the cap for communicating with the first air discharging path through a space between the thrust plate and the first mounting recess to discharge outwardly the air transferred from the first air discharging path.

A spindle motor and a spindle motor assembly, and an image forming device having the same. The spindle motor includes a shaft rotatably coupled to a stator, a rotor to rotate with the shaft, and a dynamic pressure generator to generate a dynamic pressure to make the rotor contact toward the stator by an ambient air flow generated during a rotation of the rotor.

Disclosed is a printing media supply unit and an image forming apparatus employing the same for forming an image on the printing medium. A loading plate capable of supporting thereon a supply of the printing media is movably coupled to a detachable loading cassette so as to move in ascending and descending manner depending on the amount of printing media loaded on the loading plate. One of more interfering members are provided on the loading plate so as to move with the loading plate, and may be capable of being sensed by one or more sensing units. A control unit determines the amount of printing media based on the sensing results, which may be different from one sensing unit to another, or based on the combination of such sensing results.
