Abstract: An electrostatic latent image is formed on a rotary image carrier. A developer is provided with at least one developing roller which is separatably abutted on the image carrier at a developing position to supply toner onto the image carrier to make the latent image visible as a toner image. An intermediate transfer member is adapted to temporarily hold the toner image. A transferer applies a transfer bias to primarily transfer the toner image on the image carrier to the intermediate transfer member. A first cleaner is always abutted on the image carrier to remove toner remaining thereon. A second cleaner is separatably abutted on the intermediate transfer member to remove toner remaining thereon. The toner image includes a first toner image which is not to be transferred onto the recording medium and a second toner image which is to be secondarily transferred onto a recording medium. The second cleaner is separated from the intermediate transfer member so as to avoid the first toner image.

Abstract: A circulating intermediate transfer member contacts an image carrier at a primary transfer position at which a toner image is transferred onto the intermediate transfer member. A secondary transfer member contacts the intermediate transfer member at a secondary transfer position at which the toner image is transferred onto a recording medium. A gate roller pair nips the recording medium therebetween at a nipping position and conveys the recording medium toward the secondary transfer position. A cleaning blade retractably contacts and scrapes off toner remaining on the intermediate transfer member. A conveyance speed of the recording medium at the nipping position is faster than that at the secondary transfer position. The cleaning blade is retracted from the intermediate transfer member until a trailing end of the recording medium passes through the nipping position, when the recording medium has a stiffness greater than a prescribed level.

Abstract: Prior to the execution of a printing operation, a print preparatory operation is conducted only on a priority developer cartridge out of the plurality of monochromatic developer cartridges mounted to the developing unit thereby bringing the cartridge into a printable state. Therefore, the print preparatory operation is completed when the print preparatory operation on one (equivalent to a “priority cartridge” of the invention) of the developer cartridges mounted to the developing unit is terminated. Hence, the apparatus may be placed in the printable state in a short time so that the print preparatory operation is prevented from compelling a user to wait needlessly long and that waiting time of a user may be shortened.

Abstract translation: 在执行打印操作之前，仅在安装到显影单元上的多个单色显影剂盒中的优先显影剂盒上进行打印准备操作，从而使盒进入可打印状态。 因此，当安装到显影单元的显影剂盒的一个（相当于本发明的“优先盒”）的打印准备操作终止时，打印准备操作完成。 因此，可以在短时间内将该装置置于可打印状态，从而防止打印准备操作强迫用户等待不必要的长时间，并且可缩短用户的等待时间。

Abstract: The apparatus is brought into a printable state by selecting one print preparatory process from first and second print preparatory processes and conducting the selected print preparatory process prior to the execution of the printing operation. That is, the printing operation by means of the cartridge is enabled by conducting a print preparatory process desired by a user. Specifically, the print preparatory process is selected and conducted according to the user's desire (to produce a large volume of prints, to reduce the length of time required to become printable, or such). Therefore, the monochromatic printing in the above specific color can be efficiently performed in a manner conforming to the user's desire.
