Принадлежит: Primax Electronics Ltd

An image forming apparatus with a stapling function is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a printing device and a stapling device. The printing device is used for printing images on plural papers. The printed papers are transmitted to the stapling device and stapled by the stapling device. The printing device has a printing device casing. The stapling device includes a minor casing and a main casing, which are respectively connected with a first surface and a second surface of the printing device casing. Since the stapling device is connected with two difference surfaces of the printing device casing, the overall height of the image forming apparatus is reduced.

Dividing print jobs in output tray

Номер: US20120038097A1
Автор: Soenke Christian Bluethgen
Принадлежит: Individual

A method for dividing print jobs in an output tray of a printing machine includes outputting print job sheets of a print job onto an inclined support of the output tray, so that the print job sheets slide against an abutment to form a stack. A dividing sheet is produced, and a hook-shaped deformation is imparted in the dividing sheet. The dividing sheet is outputted onto the stack formed by the print job sheets on the output tray so that the dividing sheet slides in the direction of the abutment and the deformation becomes propped up against the stack.

Electrographic printing apparatus for producing a toner image on paper includes a dryer adapted to dry a selected region of the paper to a moisture content not to exceed that of the paper equilibrated to 20% RH. A liquid-deposition unit wets selected portions of the selected region of the paper within 15 seconds after the completion of drying to provide a latent fluid image corresponding to the wetted portions of the paper. A dry area is thereby defined in the selected region outside the latent fluid image. A charging member charges the paper so that the paper in the dry area has a selected potential. A development station deposits charged dry toner in the selected region, the toner having charge of the same sign as the selected potential, so that the toner adheres to paper in the area of the latent fluid image.

A printing device is described in which there is a media guide that is arranged to guide a printable media substrate from an upstream media path towards an input of the printing device or away from an output of the printing device towards a downstream media path. The media guide is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the media guide is arranged to guide the printable media along a respective media path. In the second position, which is spaced apart from the first position, the media guide forms a buffer region into which a variable amount of media substrate can collect.

An image forming system includes a detection unit to detect a recording material, having an image formed thereon by an image forming unit, placed on a processing tray, a staple unit, a discharge unit, and a discharge tray. A first mode of the system is to discharge the recording material conveyed from the image forming unit to the discharge tray via the processing tray and a second mode involves waiting for instruction for executing. When the detection unit detects the recording material inserted into the processing tray in the second mode, and a recording material first mode conveying instruction is issued in a state of waiting for the executing instruction after the recording material detection, a discharge operation is performed to discharge the recording material inserted into the processing tray to the discharge tray without the staple unit executing staple processing on the recording material inserted into the processing tray. 1. An image forming system comprising:an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material;a processing tray configured to receive the recording material on which the image forming unit forms the image;a detection unit configured to detect the recording material placed on the processing tray;a staple unit configured to execute staple processing on the recording material placed on the processing tray;a discharge unit configured to discharge, from the processing tray through a discharge port, the recording material on which the staple processing is executed by the staple unit;a discharge tray configured to receive the recording material discharged by the discharge unit;an instruction unit configured to issue an instruction for executing the staple processing by the staple unit; anda control unit configured to switch the control unit to a first mode to discharge the recording material conveyed from the image forming unit to the discharge tray via the processing tray and, in a state where the detection unit detects the ...
