Abstract:
A feeder has a longer side direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and is configured to feed a maximum size recording medium with a longer side first. An image forming unit has a maximum sheet feed width corresponding to a longer side length of the maximum size recording medium, and is configured to print a toner image corresponding to digital image data onto the recording medium. An electrical component unit is configured to control the feeder and the image forming unit. The image forming unit and the electrical component unit are respectively disposed on both sides of the feeder in a shorter side direction.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding device that corrects skew of a sheet before feeding the sheet to a transfer position for image formation. The sheet feeding device comprises a driver, a feeder roller unit provided with a feeder roller rotationally driven by the driver and a separation roller, and two resist roller units each provided with a primary and a secondary resist roller. The resist roller units cause formation of a loop in the sheet between the resist roller units and the feeder roller unit during skew correction. When viewed in a direction of a rotational axis of the feeder roller, the first resist rollers and the feeder roller overlap at least partially, and the pressing member and the second resist rollers do not overlap. The first resist rollers and the feeder roller occupy different positions with respect to the direction of the rotational axis.
Abstract:
An image forming unit is accommodated in a space defined by a frame body. An image reader is disposed above the image forming unit. A first supporting member is secured between an upper portion of the frame body and a bottom portion of the image reader and configured to support the image reader to the frame body in a cantilever manner. A second supporting member is secured on an upper portion of the frame body and configured to receive a bottom portion of the image reader supported by the first supporting member in a cantilever manner.
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus wherein a developing unit forms a toner image on an image carrier by using a developer including a toner and a carrier, wherein a toner recovery unit recovers the toner remaining on the image carrier after the transfer of the toner image to a transfer receiving body and wherein the recovered toner is returned to the developing unit by a return transport mechanism, a recovered toner reservoir for storing the toner recovered by the toner recovery unit is disposed independently from the return transport mechanism.

A feeder has a longer side direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and is configured to feed a maximum size recording medium with a longer side first. An image forming unit has a maximum sheet feed width corresponding to a longer side length of the maximum size recording medium, and is configured to print a toner image corresponding to digital image data onto the recording medium. An electrical component unit is configured to control the feeder and the image forming unit. The image forming unit and the electrical component unit are respectively disposed on both sides of the feeder in a shorter side direction.
Abstract:
A timer starts when a first sensor detecting "close" of a switching cover and a second sensor detecting "open" of the switching cover are both OFF at the start of a read out operation. When one of said first and second sensors is turned on before the timer expires, an error is not displayed and the flow proceeds to a subsequent process. When first and second sensors are still OFF when the timer expires, an error is displayed indicating that the switching cover is in a defective open state.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a feeder having a longer side direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and feeds a maximum size recording medium with a longer side first, an image forming unit having a maximum sheet feed width corresponding to a longer side length of the maximum size recording medium, and prints a toner image onto the recording medium, and a sub feeder that can feed the maximum size recording medium to the image forming unit independently from the feeder. A post processing apparatus receives a printed recording medium and executes post processing on a side of the recording medium. A feeding source of the maximum size recording medium is selected from the feeder and the sub feeder for executing the post processing on the longer and shorter sides of the maximum size recording medium, respectively.
