Image forming device

Abstract

The recording carton can be positioned with high precision and easily at the mounting position inside the main body of the image forming apparatus. The height of the plurality of main body side positioning members (250A, 250B) from the floor (203) is set so that the more they are located on the downstream side of the conveying direction (X), the higher the height is, and when the casters (111) contact the floor (203) In this state, the height of the recording carton side positioning members (240A, 240B) from the floor (203) is set to be higher as it is located on the downstream side of the conveying direction (X), and the positioning unit (230A, 230B) is set as, When the recording carton (100) is sent to the recording carton accommodating portion (200), the non-corresponding main body side locating member (250B) and the recording carton side locating member (240A) do not interfere with each other; when the recording carton (100) arrives In the installation position, the corresponding main body side positioning parts (250A, 250B) and the recording carton side positioning parts (240A, 240B) are mated and connected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to an image forming apparatus including a recording paper storage for storing recording paper and an accommodating portion for accommodating the recording paper storage. Background technique [0002] As is well known, among image forming apparatuses for developing photographs and the like, there is an apparatus for exposing images using laser beams on photographic paper as recording paper. [0003] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-302284 discloses an image forming apparatus that rolls photographic paper as recording paper into a cylindrical shape and accommodates it in a recording paper box as a recording paper storage member, and the image forming apparatus The above-mentioned recording paper box is installed inside the main body of the image forming apparatus. Then, according to the printing size, the photographic paper is taken out from the recording paper box, cu...

Problems solved by technology

However, if the bottom surface of the recording carton is provided with casters, while the recording carton can be easily moved during the moving process, the problem that the recording carton is also easy to move occurs at the installation position.

[0008] In the image forming apparatus, if the recording paper box is not correctly positioned at the installation position, when the paper is taken out from the recording paper box and transported, the paper tends to bend and travel, which may cause wrinkles on the paper or oblique exposure of the image. Phenomenon

[0009] Moreover, if the recording carton is too easy to move, even if you want to transport the recording carton to the prescribed installation position, the conveying direction of the recording carton is likely to deviate due to the degree of effort of the operator.

At this time, the operator can modify the forward direction of the recording carton by adjusting the force, but because the heavier the recording carton, the greater its inertia, it requires a lot of force to modify the direction, making it difficult to make fine adjustments

That is, if casters are provided so that the recording carton moves too easily, it is sometimes difficult to correctly convey the recording carton to the prescribed installation position due to the inertia caused by the weight of the recording carton
