Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an image forming apparatus for recording an image on a roll sheet fed out of a roll body.
  • JIS A0 size which is one of the sheet sizes specified by Japanese Industrial Standards, is 841mm x 1189mm (finished dimensions).
  • a roll sheet that is, an elongated continuous copy sheet rolled around a core to form a roll body, is accommodated in a main body of a copying machine.
  • the roll body is set in the main body of the copying machine by a user with a predetermined length of the roll sheet being fed out of the roll body.
  • the leading edge of the fed-out roll sheet has to be located at a predetermined set position in a transfer path with high accuracy.
  • the leading edge of the roll sheet is conventionally located at the set position in such a manner that, when the roll body is set, the roll sheet is once fed from the roll body so that the leading edge of the roll sheet reaches a leading edge detection switch, and then the roll sheet is rewound a predetermined length (e.g., 10mm).
  • a predetermined length e.g. 10mm
  • the user may set the roll body with the fed-out roll sheet thereof being slackened in the transportation path.
  • the leading edge of the roll sheet is not aligned with a line perpendicular to the direction of roll sheet transportation, and set diagonally.
  • the roll sheet is once fed and rewound after the setting of the roll body for the positioning of the leading edge of the roll sheet, as described above.
  • the successive operations of feeding and rewinding the roll sheet may somewhat alleviate the diagonal transportation, but are not so effective.
  • an image forming apparatus including: a feed reel rotatably supporting a roll body of a rolled elongated sheet for corotation therewith in regular and reverse directions; an image forming section for electrophotographically forming an image and transferring the image onto a portion of the roll sheet fed out of the roll body; a transportation path for guiding the roll sheet fed out of the roll body to the image forming section, a predetermined set position on the transportation path at which the leading edge of the fed-out roll sheet is set; a driving system for driving the feed reel for rotation in regular and reverse directions; a control means for controlling the operation of the driving system; and a signal outputting means for outputting a signal indicative of completion of replacement of the roll body.
  • the feed reel rotates in the regular and reverse directions to feed the roll sheet out of the roll body and to rewind the fed-out roll sheet around the roll body.
  • the control means controls the driving system to repeat reciprocative transportation of the roll sheet a plurality of times so that the leading edge of the roll sheet is moved back and forth with respect to the predetermined set position along the direction of transportation of the roll sheet.
  • the feed reel when the signal indicative of the completion of the roll body replacement is inputted, the feed reel is driven to repeat the feeding and rewinding of the roll sheet a plurality of times.
  • an attitude correction of the roll sheet can be achieved so that the leading edge of the roll sheet is aligned with a line perpendicular to the transportation direction.
  • the signal indicative of the completion of the roll body replacement may be a signal from a switch operated by an user or from a detection switch for detecting an operation inevitable for the roll body replacement, e.g., an operation of opening and closing a door of the image forming apparatus. In the latter case, the attitude correction of the roll sheet is automatically performed when the door is closed after the roll body replacement.
  • a copying machine herein described is adapted to form a copy image of a large-size original such as of A0 size.

  • a cut-off portion of the roll sheet is to be discharged from the copying machine through the transportation path 34 in the same manner as in an ordinary copying operation.
  • the length of the cut-off sheet should be greater than a distance between the transportation rollers 33 and the heat/press rollers 37 and 38 (e.g., not shorter than 279mm). If the length of the cut-off sheet is set to a length of 279mm, the roll sheet 4C may be cut when the leading edge 4C2 of the roll sheet 4C is located 279mm ahead of the cutter mechanism 80 along the transportation direction.
  • the transportation of the roll sheet 4C is stopped with the leading edge 4C2 abutting against the registration rollers 63 located at a position 50mm apart from the cutter mechanism 80 in the transportation direction. Therefore, the roll sheet 4C may be transported by a distance of 229mm (279mm - 50mm) after the time point t8 when the leading edge 4C2 passes the registration switch 502.
  • the division of the distance of 229mm by a transportation rate of 80mm/sec. gives a value of 2.86 seconds for the time period T3.

  • a new leading edge 4C2 of the roll sheet 4C is stopped at a preset position which is located at a predetermined distance upstream of the fourth leading-edge detection switch 74.
  • the cut-off sheet 550 is transported through the transportation path 34 by the driving of the main motor MM and the fixation motor FM, and discharged through the discharge port 54 into the pocket 92 in the same manner as in the ordinary copying operation as shown in Fig. 9. Since the cut-off sheet 550 is automatically discharged from the copying machine, the user does not have to manually remove the cut-off sheet which may otherwise remain in the copying machine in a conventional manner. With the conventional arrangement, a jam occurs due to the cut-off sheet remaining in the copying machine if the user does not remove the cut-off sheet before the next copying operation. However, this embodiment can avoid such an accident.
  • the main motor MM and the fixation motor FM are stopped at a time point t15 when the tail edge of the cut-off sheet 550 is detected by the discharge switch 55.
