Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operabilities and to facilitate maintenance by ejecting an original and a recording sheet on the same side surface of a device and further, releasing respective carrying paths for easily dealing with the carrying trouble of them. CONSTITUTION:A transfer part 54 arranged on the left side part of a process cartridge 50, a paper feeding cassette 60, a carrying-out roller 60A, moreover, a fixing unit 62, a paper ejecting roller 62A, a tray 63, etc., are attached to a side surface cover 80 opened/closed through the use of a shaft 80A as a supporting point, or incorporated therein. The surface cover 80 can be perpendic ularly opened counterclockwise in a state where the paper feeding cassette 60 is removed, so that the left side of a device main body is released and simul taneously the carrying path of the recording sheet is exposed. On the other hand, the platen roller 70A of a reading part 70 and the upper side roller of a pair of paper ejecting rollers 72 open the top surface cover 90 clockwise, to release the carrying surface of the original. Thus, the operabilities are im proved and the maintenance is easily carried out.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a glass document mounting table, which reciprocates in the direction of the arrow during copying. The image on the document placed on the document table 17 is illuminated by the document illumination lamp 18, and rotated in the direction of the arrow in synchronization with the movement of the document by a focusing light transmitter (product name: SELFOC lens) 19. An electrostatic latent image is formed on the image carrier l whose entire surface has been charged in advance by the charger 2.

The recording paper P is fed one by one by a paper feed roller 20,
The transfer device 8 contacts the image carrier 1 through the register roller 21.
The image on the image carrier 1 is transferred, separated from the image carrier l by the separation electrode 22, advances along the guide plate 23, passes through the fixing roller 24 and the paper discharge roller 25, and is discharged out of the apparatus. The surface of the image carrier after image transfer is covered with a static elimination electrode 26.
After the residual charge is erased by the cleaner 4 and the residual toner is removed by the cleaner 4, it is charged again by the charger 2 and enters the image forming process.

Incidentally, when the process cartridge 30 is used, it is fixed in a predetermined position by a locking means (not shown).

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕 しかしながら、上に述べた従来のカートリッジ構成には
次のような問題かある。
[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional cartridge configuration described above has the following problems.

それは工夫するとしても、トナーボックスだけは貯蔵量
を多くしようとすると容積を大きくせざるを得す、形状
のバランスを考慮すると横幅が大きくなるという問題が
ある。
First, in the cartridge configuration shown in the figure, the recording paper P
It is placed only above the feed path. That is, charger 2
, the developing device 3b1, the toner box 3c, and the cleaner 4 are concentrated only above the feeding path of the recording paper P out of the periphery of the image carrier l. At the bottom are the transfer device 8 and the separation electrode 22. For this reason, there are restrictions on the dimensions of each component, but
Even if we try to do this, if we try to increase the storage capacity of the toner box, we have to increase the volume, and when we consider the balance of the shape, the width becomes large.

第2の問題は、記録紙の給送路が像担持体1の下側にな

上側の面に転写される。これをそのまま、定着ローラで

回折り返し反転させる構成が必要になる。
The second problem is that since the recording paper feeding path is below the image carrier 1, the toner image on the image carrier 1 is transferred to the upper surface of the recording paper P. If this is fixed with a fixing roller and ejected, the image surface will be facing upward. In this case, if a printer or the like prints out a plurality of pages in order, including the first page, the first page will be at the bottom, that is, the pages will be stacked in reverse order. However, this requires a lot of time and effort as the pages must be rearranged again, so to avoid this, it is necessary to
A configuration that folds back and inverts is required.

Third, since the recording paper feeding path cannot be exposed, it is somewhat difficult to clean the feeding path and deal with paper jams.

Furthermore, in image forming apparatuses such as facsimile machines and printers with scanners that are equipped with a reading unit that reads images of originals, the original is transported to the reading unit, and after the image has been read, the original is ejected from the device. In an image forming apparatus that requires an original transport path in addition to the above-mentioned recording paper transport path, the apparatus is large and it is not easy to deal with a failure in transport of the original or recording paper. There was a problem.
