Abstract: A sheet process device includes a supporting member and a process device main body. The supporting member is attached to the lateral face at a side of an in-body sheet ejection space of an image forming apparatus. The process device main body is supported by the supporting member. The process device main body includes a relay conveyance unit and a post process unit. The relay conveyance unit is arranged slidable in a direction to the in-body sheet ejection space. The post process unit is arranged slidable in upward and downward directions with respect to the supporting member.

Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feeding roller, a following roller, a rotational speed detection part, and a control part. The rotational speed detection part is configured to detect a rotational speed of the following roller. The control part is configured to accelerate a rotation of the sheet feeding roller and to adjust a sheet interval. The control part obtains a rotational rate of the following roller to the sheet feeding roller based on the rotational speed of the following roller, obtains an actual linear velocity of the sheet based on the rotational rate of the following roller and a theoretical linear velocity of the sheet after accelerating the rotation of the sheet feeding roller, and then adjusts the sheet interval based on the actual linear velocity of the sheet.

Abstract: A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressure member, and a separating unit. The pressure member is rotatably located and in a pressure contact with the fixing member to form a fixing nip. The separating unit is configured to separate a sheet from the fixing member. The sheet is attached on the fixing member when passing through the fixing nip. The separating unit includes a sliding member, a claw member, and a turning mechanism. The sliding member is located in a state of contacting a surface of the fixing member. The claw member runs toward the fixing nip from the sliding member. The claw member has a distal end portion. The claw member is located in a state where the distal end portion contacts the surface of the fixing member. The turning mechanism reciprocates the sliding member and the claw member along a rotation direction of the fixing member.

Abstract: A sheet feed conveyance device includes a warning section, a pickup roller that feeds a sheet, a separation section, a speed sensor that detects a conveyance speed of the sheet, and a controller. The separation section includes a feed roller that feeds downstream the sheet fed by the pickup roller and a retard roller that returns a sheet involved in multiple sheet feeding toward the pickup roller. The controller recognizes the conveyance speed based on output of the speed sensor, integrate conveyance speeds detected in a measurement time period from rotation start of the pickup roller to elapse of a specific time period, and determines necessity for maintenance of the pickup roller according to a measurement distance as a result of integration.

Abstract: A sheet guiding mechanism includes a pair of first rotators and a pair of second rotators provided in a conveying path for a sheet material, a first sheet guide portion, a second sheet guide portion, a shaft member, and a plurality of guide rollers. The first sheet guide portion and the second sheet guide portion form guide surfaces for the sheet material on both sides of the conveying path. Both end portions of the shaft member extending along a width direction are supported by the second sheet guide portion. The guide rollers are in contact with the sheet material conveyed in the conveying path, and rotate to follow the sheet material. The shaft member is bent by a pressure applied from the sheet material to the guide rollers when a tension is applied to the sheet material between the pair of first rotators and the pair of second rotators.
