Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit an interface signal such as an image signal to a recording part accurately by insulating the passage of the return current of a power source, etc., which is controlled for driving the recording part electrically from a recording part housing. CONSTITUTION:A high voltage generated by a high-voltage power source 40 is applied to electrostatic charges 16A and 16B and a developing sleeve 42 form output terminals 18A, 18B, and 18C. The high-voltage current flows as a return current from the electrostatic chargers to charger covers 14A and 14B or a drum 11 to return the terminal 19A of the high-voltage power source. The high-voltage current flowing to the developing sleeve 42 also flows to the drum 11 to return to the terminal 19A. Consequently, no high-voltage current need not flow to the housing, so the grounding of a signal system and the grounding of the housing of the recording part are separated completely to prevent a noise from being mixed with an interface signal between the recording part and a computer. Therefore, the interface signal such as an image signal is transmitted to the recording part accurately.

Conventional technology Conventionally, recording devices (e.g. laser beam printers) that record images output from a computer or the like by a recording section do not function by themselves (for example, only the recording section), but function only when multiple devices are combined. Since such a system requires electrical connection between the Z devices, the following problems arise.

That is, in a system that combines a plurality of devices, if the grounding points of each device are different, it is normal that the case potentials of the devices cannot be made the same, and the difference becomes particularly large as the distance between the devices increases. Therefore, for example, when the ground of the signal system connected to the output of a computer, that is, the return line of the signal current, is connected to the housing of the recording unit, the ground potential of the housing containing the computer and the ground potential of the housing of the recording unit This difference is superimposed on the interface signal between the devices, making it impossible to transmit the interface signal correctly. Therefore, it was customary to raise the ground of the signal system above the housing of the recording section and ground the entire system at one point, and to ground the housing of each recording section for each device to prevent electric shock.
