Abstract

PURPOSE:To copy without failure in transfer even if the moisture content in a copy form attains about 11%, by cutting off a shield from the earth in DC and connecting the shield and a form sending shoot directly or through a resistance. CONSTITUTION:When the copy form is sent to the position of a transfer corotron 3 after passing the shoot 2, the copy form is electrified by DC corona discharge generated between a wire 3b and a shield 3a. If the percentage of moisture content in the copy form exceeds 8%, the surface resistance of the copy form is reduced, and the electric charge electrifying the form tries to leak through the shoot 2 or the shield 3a, but it does not leak because the shoot 2 and the shield 3a are held in a high voltage. Therefore, a strong electric field is generated between the copy form and a photosensitive drum 1, and a toner image formed on the drum 1 is transferred to the copy form similarly to the case where the copy form is dried. Thus, the copy density is not reduced even if a copying machine is operated at a high humidity.

(Prior Art) The outline of a transfer device of a conventional electronic copying machine is shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
As shown in the figure. In the figure, 1 is a photosensitive drum, 2 is a chute that guides the copy paper, 3 is a transfer corotron that uses DC discharge to charge the copy paper, and 4 is 100 MΩ.
This is a degree of resistance. The transfer corotron 3 is composed of a grounded shield 3a and a wire 3b.

In such a transfer device, the copy paper is transferred to the chute 2.
When the copy paper passes through the transfer corotron 3 and reaches the transfer corotron 3, the back surface of the copy paper is charged with an electric charge due to the discharge of the transfer corotron 3. On the other hand, a toner image corresponding to document information is formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum 1, and as the photosensitive drum 1 rotates, the toner image is carried at a position facing the transfer corotron 3.

At this time, since the electric charge attached to the back side of the copy paper and the electric charge possessed by the toner are opposite in polarity, the toner image attached to the surface of the photosensitive drum 1 is attracted toward the copy paper, and the toner image is attracted to the copy paper. Toner is transferred to the front side of the . In this way, the toner images on the photosensitive drum 1 are transferred one after another onto copy paper, and the transferred copy paper is conveyed toward a fixing device (not shown).
