Image forming device

Abstract

The recording paper box can be positioned easily with high precision at the installation position in the main body of the image forming device. The height from the plurality of main body side position members (250A, 250B) to the floor (203) is defined more higher if lies in the lower side of the transmitting direction (X), and under the status that the castor (111) is contacting with the floor (203), the height from the recording paper box side position members (240A, 240B) to the floor (203) is defined more higher if lies in the lower side of the transmitting direction (X). The position units (230A, 230B) is disposed to make the not corresponding main body side position member (250B) and recording paper box side position member (240A) not intervene with each other when the recording paper box (100) is sent to the recording paper box accommodating part (200); and make the corresponding main body side position members (250A, 250B) and recording paper box side position members (240A, 240B) fitly connected with each other.

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
