Rotary member driving mechanism, and image forming apparatus employing this mechanism

For a conventional image forming apparatus, since a waveform in a phase opposite that of a rotation change waveform is applied to a drive motor to rotate a photosensitive member, a correction to cancel the rotation change is also performed for a sudden rotation change of the photosensitive member, or for a high frequency change in the noise component generated by a rotation detector. As a result, since the drive motor can not be smoothly rotated, and since the drive torque of the drive motor is not stabilized, small vibrations always occur in the photosensitive member and cause image deterioration, such as a jitter or banding. Therefore, according to the invention, cycling due to the eccentricity of the photosensitive member is represented by using a continuous repetition function, and the waveform in the opposite phase is employed as a drive instruction value for the driving unit. With this arrangement, smooth rotation of the driving unit can be obtained, and the offsetting of the change is performed.

Recording apparatus and pulse generation controller

A recording apparatus of the present invention includes a temperature detector which detects a temperature of a pulse generator, and a driver which drives the pulse generator. When the temperature detector detects a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined maximum temperature, a stopper stops a driver after driving of the pulse generator corresponding to one or a plurality of driving units is completed. A temperature estimator estimates an increased temperature of the pulse generator based on a pulse pattern which will be generated by the pulse generator thus driven again. A restarter makes the driver restart driving the pulse generator when, after the driver is stopped, a temperature detected by the temperature detector drops to a restart temperature which is equal to or lower than a temperature value obtained by subtracting the increased temperature from the maximum temperature.

By shifting the paper passage position relative to a photosensitive drum when printing the front side and the paper passage position relative to the photosensitive drum when printing the back side, the region in which the surface electric potential of the photosensitive drum increases is diminished, and the region in which photographic fog is generated is made smaller. Thus, when printing the second and subsequent sheets, even when a slight amount of displacement of the transport position of the recording paper occurs, it is possible to suppress that recording paper making contact in the photographic fog region on the photosensitive drum, and defective printing can be prevented.

One way vision film for ink jet printing, printing film, and method for producing them

A one-way vision film includes a white film base material; a shrinkable color tone layer on one side of the base material; and a self-adsorptive foamed layer on the base material opposite to the shrinkable color tone layer. The one-way vision film is perforated with through-holes. The self-adsorptive foamed layer has an adhesive function attachable to a surface onto which the film is attached and is printable. Since the printing ink is deposited to the bottoms of the open pores while not closing the openings of the open pores, open pores exposed to the surface of the foamed layer function like suction cups adhering onto a smooth surface. Accordingly, there is no need for forming ink-receptive and pressure-sensitive layers, unlike a conventional film, so the film can have a low cost, three-layer structure. The one-way vision and printed film is easily attachable onto a smooth and transparent substrate like glass.

Apparatus for and method of forming image using oscillation mirror

In the image forming apparatus, startup process is executed upon power-on, prior to printing or at other proper timing to thereby adjust such that a deflector such as an oscillation mirror makes a light beam scan favorably. To be more specific, the following startup process is performed. Amplitude ensuring process is executed before turning on a laser source, and the amplitude value of the deflector is set equal to or larger than a minimum amplitude value. The laser source is then turned on. As a result, at the time of turning on of the laser source, the light beam already scans to move past at least horizontal synchronization sensors. This prevents concentration of the light beam upon a certain portion of a photosensitive member.
