JPS6415764A - Form carrier mechanism for image forming device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the simultaneous execution of a manual paper supply and a cassette paper supply by arranging an upper and a lower guiding plates which form a form carrier path and forming a manually supplying table of the lower guiding plate in a state where the upper guiding plate is opened. CONSTITUTION:When the guiding upper plate 33 is opened, the lower plate 29 becomes the manually supplying table and the plate 33 turns on a switch 35 to obtain a manual mode. When the form is inserted to the plate 29, the tip actuates a roller 15 through a switch 16a and the form is carried to a roller pair 17. In such a case, a switch 16b is turned on and the tip of the form is corrected to be stopped by the roller 17. When a switch 26 is closed by inserting the original into a roller pair 22 and a switch 27 is closed with the form by driving the roller 22, the roller 17 is started. On the form, the original image is transferred, separated and fixed in a drum 2 and the form is ejected from an aperture 12. When the upper plate 33 is closed, the form carrier path is formed of the lower plate 29 and the upper plate and a switch 35 is opened to obtain a cassette paper supply mode. And the paper supply roller 32 of the cassette 28 is actuated and the form is carried to the carrier path so as to execute copying as well as the manual one.
