An electric charge eliminating device for eliminating electric charge on an image carrying member or on a recording medium carrying member which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus, comprises a needlelike electrode having a plurality of protruding sections which form a plurality of discontinuous discharge points; an insulating holder for holding the needlelike electrode; a discharging power source for applying an electric voltage to the needlelike electrode; and a conductive shielding member arranged between the needlelike electrode and the image carrying member or the recording medium carrying member.
摘要:
There is described an image forming apparatus, which prevent toner from contaminating inside of the apparatus and the recording medium. The apparatus includes: an image bearing member; and a transferring member that press-contacts the image bearing member for transferring the toner image onto the recording medium. When the transferring member transfers the toner image onto the recording medium in such a state that the toner image is extended from an edge of the recording medium, the following relationship is fulfilled, 0
摘要:
An image forming apparatus sets the optimum transfer bias based on density of some sets of toner patches formed on an image bearing member or an intermediate transfer member. The toner patches are categorized into at least two groups according to their length in the main scanning direction.

An image forming apparatus having plural image carriers, respective chargers, exposure units, color toner developing units, a black toner developing unit, a transfer unit that transfers in the transfer section the color toner images and black toner image onto an intermediate transfer member by the application of a transfer bias from the power supply unit, and a controller that controls the transfer output, an an optical density sensor that detects the optical density of color toner patch images formed on the intermediate transfer member, and a controller transfers the color toner patch images onto the intermediate transfer member while changing the transfer output, detects the optical densities of color toner patch images transferred onto the intermediate transfer member using the optical density sensor, and controls the transfer output to transfer the black toner image based on the detected optical densities of the color toner patch images.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus, includes: a photoreceptor on which a toner image is formed by a charging device, an image exposure device and a developing device; and a transfer section for transferring the toner image on the photoreceptor. DC bias and AC bias voltage is applied to a development roller of the developing device, and the DC bias and AC bias voltage is set to regular value for an image area on the photoreceptor, and only the AC bias voltage is changed for a non-image area on the photoreceptor.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus, comprises an image carrier for carrying a toner image, a charging device for charging the carrier, wherein the charging device includes a discharge member and a grid which is arranged between this discharge member and the image carrier and has at least a surface made of gold; and a discharge product removing device for removing discharge products generated by the charging device from a portion of the image carrier to where the charging device is located to face.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus including a transfer section for transferring a toner image formed on an image bearing member onto a sheet by pressure contact of the sheet against the image bearing member with a transfer member; a cleaning section having a cleaning blade to remove residual toner on the image bearing member; and a control section for controlling a rotation of the image bearing member so as to carry out a return action of a blade configuration which stops or reverses the rotation of the image bearing member, when the rotation amount reaches a predetermined value, wherein the control section additionally carries out the return action when the rotation amount reaches a value smaller than the predetermined value, in a case where a size of a sheet in a current job is larger than a size a sheet having been passed through in a previous job.
摘要:
A cleaning device for cleaning a belt member, includes a cleaning blade; a removing member coming in contact with the surface of the belt member so as to remove foreign matter adhering on the surface of the belt member; and a contact pressure changing section to change a contact pressure between the removing member to the belt member, wherein, when the contact pressure between the removing member and a region of the belt member corresponding in position to a toner image to be not transferred to a paper sheet is made P1, and the contact pressure between the removing member and a region of the belt member corresponding in position to a toner image to be transferred to a paper sheet is made P2, the contact pressure changing section changes the contact pressure to satisfy the conditional formula: (P1
摘要:
An image forming apparatus having: an image forming section to form a toner image on an image carrier; a transfer section to transfer onto a transfer medium the toner image formed on the image carrier; and a pair of opposing transfer guide members to guide the transfer medium into the transfer section, wherein a front edge of one transfer guide member, arranged on a side of the image carrier out of the pair of the transfer guide members, is disposed separately from the other transfer guide member, and one side portion of the front edge of the transfer guide member is more protruded than the other side portion into a conveying direction of the transfer medium.
