20160101634 | INKJET PRINTER - When an inkjet printer includes suction means for sucking the outside air into the inkjet printer, a heated recording medium is rapidly cooled by the air flowing in a vicinity of a discharge port for the recording medium. This causes fluctuations in surface temperature, resulting in degraded image quality. Accordingly, the inkjet printer has both a configuration capable of directly sucking, into a carriage, the outside air sucked into an apparatus, and a configuration of preventing the air from passing through an inside of the carriage. Thus, a temperature of the inside of the carriage can be reduced effectively. In order to prevent a reduction in temperature of the recording medium in the vicinity of the discharge port, a heater is arranged so as to increase a heating capacity of heating. Through temperature control on the heater based on a temperature of a region that is easily reduced in temperature, a local reduction in temperature of the recording medium is suppressed. | 04-14-2016 |
20140118439 | INKJET PRINTER - In an inkjet printer having a structure in which a plurality of mounting structural portions for coupling a carriage to a Y-rail in a movable manner are provided on one side of the carriage, in order to improve image quality by preventing deterioration in landing accuracy of ink along with high-speed movement of the carriage, a weight is mounted on another side of the carriage so as to suppress vibration of the carriage and deterioration in landing accuracy of ink along with the vibration of the carriage. Thus, the image quality is improved. | 05-01-2014 |
20130279954 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Provided is an image forming apparatus which uses a separation claw to separate a recording medium from a photosensitive member without damaging the recording medium even when the recording medium is thin. The employed separation claw fixed to a frame is a flattened plate made of a resin. The separation claw is gradually tapered toward a leading end thereof, and is provided with a slit from the apex toward the frame . The separation claw is not gradually tapered in a thickness direction and has a constant thickness. A plurality of separation claws are fixed to the frame in a length direction of the photosensitive drum so that the recording medium can be separated regardless of the sheet size. The frame is moved to easily adjust the positional relationship between the photosensitive drum and the separation claws. | 10-24-2013 |
20130188983 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Inside a charger for uniformly charging a surface of a photosensitive drum, a wire to which high voltage is applied is stretched. The duration of life of the wire is shorter than that of the photosensitive drum. Therefore, even when other parte are normal, a process cartridge needs to be replaced. In view or this, the charger is removably mounted to the process cartridge, and further, a plurality of wires are arranged inside the charger. Thus, power is selectively fed to the wires depending on the mounting position to the process cartridge. Power is fed only to the selected wire, and hence replacement with a new charger is unnecessary. | 07-25-2013 |
