The vacuum manifold is aligned with the aligned transport roller and outputs a vacuum force that operates on the second side of the print medium to deflect the print medium causing an increase in the wrap angle of the print medium around the aligned transport roller. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150091997 | CORE TUBE HOLDING DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A core tube holding device includes: a holding portion which holds a cylindrical core tube extending in an axial direction; a support portion which supports the holding portion; a shaft portion which rotates the support portion and the holding portion; and a bearing portion which is connected to the support portion and into which the shaft portion is inserted. The holding portion and the bearing portion are formed to be harder than the support portion. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150091998 | INK-JET RECORDING APPARATUS AND MEDIA TRAY - An ink jet recording apparatus includes: a media tray; a roller pair capable of selectively conveying the media tray and a sheet; a recording device disposed downstream of the roller pair in a conveying direction and configured to eject ink droplets; lower contact portions disposed downstream of the roller pair in the conveying direction; and an upper contact portion configured to cooperate with the lower contact portions to corrugate the sheet. The media tray has a downstream edge portion in a tray inserting direction in which the media tray is inserted. The downstream edge portion has at least one inclined portion inclining obliquely upward toward an upstream side in the tray inserting direction. The at least one inclined portion contacts the upper contact portion to move the upper contact portion upward. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150091999 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS AND BASE MATERIAL SUPPLY APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes an unwinder, a recorder, a take-up part, a first supporter, a surface modifying part, and a second supporter. The unwinder unwinds a base material from a roll. The recorder records an image onto a surface of the base material. The take-up part takes up the base material on which an image has been recorded by the recorder. The first supporter supports the base material that is being conveyed in a direction away from the recorder after having been unwound from the unwinder. The surface modifying part modifies a surface of the base material by energizing the surface of the base material that has passed through the first supporter. The second supporter supports the base material that is being conveyed in a direction toward the recorder after having passed through the surface modifying part. The second supporter is more distant from the unwinder than the first supporter is. The unwinder is disposed on at least one of a virtual line segment that connects the surface modifying part and the recorder and a normal to the line segment. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092000 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes an endless belt that transports a recording medium by supporting a first surface of a tape-like recording medium on a support surface; and a recording head that performs recording by ejecting ink on a second surface that is an attachment surface coated with an adhesive on the opposite side to the first surface of the recording medium transported by the endless belt. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092001 | OPTICAL SCANNING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING SAME - An optical scanning device includes first and second light sources, a polygon mirror, first and second scanning lenses, first and second reflecting mirrors, and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the posture of the first reflecting mirror. The adjusting mechanism adjusts the posture of the first reflecting mirror using a predetermined first adjustment amount so that a first scanning line drawn by a first light beam to scan a first circumferential surface and a second scanning line drawn by a second light beam to scan a second circumferential surface are parallel when a drum rotation speed is a predetermined first speed, and adjusts the posture of the first reflecting mirror using a predetermined second adjustment amount different from the first adjustment amount and capable of making the first and second scanning lines parallel at a second speed different from the first speed when the drum rotation speed is the second speed. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092002 | Light Scanning Device Reducing Deformation of ftheta Lens and Housing and Image Forming Apparatus with the Same - A light scanning device include a housing and an fθ lens. The housing includes a bottom plate and a sidewall disposed upright at the bottom plate. The rotating polyhedron and the fθ lens are each installed at the bottom plate of the housing. The rotating polyhedron is configured to deflect and scan light beam. Light beam deflected and scanned by the rotating polyhedron transmits the fθ lens. The bottom plate of the housing includes a stepped portion at a part corresponding to a peripheral area of the fθ lens. The stepped portion is formed lower than a top surface of the bottom plate. The stepped portion has a ridge line in a concavo-convex shape. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092003 | PRINTER - A printer includes a platen roller, a print head that performs printing on a recording sheet, and a recording sheet guide provided on the same side as the platen roller relative to the recording sheet. Multiple projections are provided on a surface of the recording sheet guide. The projections are elongated in substantially the same direction as a conveyance direction of the recording sheet. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092004 | METHODS FOR FORMING FUNCTIONALIZED CARBON BLACK WITH AMINO-TERMINATED POLYFLUORODIMETHYLSILOXANE FOR PRINTING - A method for forming functionalized carbon black useful for uniform dispersion in a surface material of a printing system component includes providing carbon black; providing a fluoropolymer having a terminal amino group; and mixing the amino-terminated fluoropolymer and the carbon black, wherein the fluoropolymer is amino-terminated PDMS. | 2015-04-02 |
| 20150092005 | INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING IMAGE DATA TO A TRANSMISSION TERMINAL THAT PERFORMS VIDEO COMMUNICATION - An information providing device is capable of communicating with an image forming device, a data managing device, and a transmission terminal. The information providing device includes a storage unit; a communication unit that transmits a forming instruction to instruct the image forming device to perform image forming, and receives, from the image forming device, storage location information indicating the data managing device that stores data obtained by image forming by the image forming device and indicating a storage location in the data managing device; and a storage location managing unit that generates, in the storage unit, management information in which identification information of the image data is associated with the storage location information. The communication unit receives the data saved in the storage location indicated by the storage location information from the data managing device and transmits the received data to the transmission terminal. | 2015-04-02 |
