20110026974 | TONER CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A toner stirring section provided in a toner cartridge includes a first rotating body and a second rotating body. The first rotating body is rotated around an axis J | 02-03-2011 |
20110206420 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developing device and an image forming apparatus capable of suppressing occurrence of development hysteresis and moving a developer on a chute without being retained is provided. The developing device provides a chute that guides a two-component developer regulated by a regulating member in the direction separating from a developing roller. The chute is composed of a rectangular thin plate made of non-magnetic austenitic stainless alloy, and a tip part that is one end part in a short side direction thereof is provided so as to face a surface of the developing roller. The tip part is transformed to a processed induced martensitic phase to be made ferromagnetic, and subjected to magnetic field orientation in an area facing the surface of the developing roller so as to form a repulsive magnetic field. | 08-25-2011 |

20120162690 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an operation accepting means for accepting an instruction, and a display controlling means for controlling a display section. The display controlling means controls the display section to display at least environmental information, which has been obtained by the image forming apparatus, at predetermined timing at which no instruction corresponding to a job is accepted by the operation accepting means. | 06-28-2012 |
20120162703 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - An image forming apparatus including an operation panel has, as a configuration of the operation panel, a display portion including a function to display environmental label information of the image forming apparatus. The environmental label information includes information on a type of greenhouse effect gases (CO | 06-28-2012 |
20120185366 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONSUMABLES ORDERING SYSTEM AND CONSUMABLES ORDERING METHOD - When a device desired to acquire emission right information is selected on a selection screen displayed on a display unit and a “SEND” icon is manipulated, a control unit causes the display unit to display consumables information of consumables granted with emission rights and consumables not granted with emission rights that is received from a server. When a user selects a consumable item that is desired to be ordered from among consumables indicated by the consumables information displayed on the display unit, and manipulates a “SEND ORDER SHEET” icon on the ordering screen, the control unit sends an order sheet to the server. The control unit causes the display unit to display, in the case of receiving order sheet receipt notification from the server in response to the sent order sheet, the received order sheet receipt notification. | 07-19-2012 |
20140294436 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In an image forming apparatus, a fixing drive motor is positioned inside the image forming apparatus and closely to the front surface of the image forming apparatus so as to be laterally to toner cartridges and a waste toner box in a direction parallel to an outer surface of a front housing section. | 10-02-2014 |
20140294447 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The image forming apparatus ( | 10-02-2014 |
20140301744 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus to which a plurality of process cartridges has a safety switch for detecting opening and closing of a front cover, stroke switches for detecting positions of the process cartridges, a display portion and a speaker for notifying a state of the process cartridge, and a control portion. The control portion has a cartridge information notifying function for, when closing of the front cover is detected by the safety switch and the process cartridge is not detected by the stroke switch, notifying information of the process cartridge. Further, the control portion has a cartridge information notifying function for notifying first notification information for replacing the process cartridge, a cartridge moving function for moving the process cartridge by a moving portion, and a cartridge information notification cancelling function for cancelling notification of the first notification information. | 10-09-2014 |
