- a feeding roller 11 is disposed facing the feeding cassette 10, and the sheet material S stored in the cassette 10 is moved by the feeding roller 11 to 1
- Each sheet is sent to the register roller 12.
- the timing is adjusted by the resist controller 12, and the toner is sent between the photosensitive drum 101 (302) and the transfer charger 13, and the photosensitive drum is transferred at the transfer position.
- the toner image on 104 (302) is transferred to sheet material S.
- the sheet material S on which the toner image is transferred is sent to the fixing device 15 by the conveyor belt unit 14, where the toner image is fixed, and the toner image is transferred out of the apparatus main body 2. Is discharged.
- the face-up discharge roller 16 from the face-up discharge roller 16 is used. Discharge to 7.
- the second method when the sheet material S is discharged in a face-down manner, that is, in a page order with the image surface facing down, the sheet material S is further discharged from the above-described space-up discharge roller 16. The sheet is turned upside down by being guided upward through a sheet conveyance direction switching mechanism for the sheet 20 and the sheet material guiding member 21 and the like, and the face down is discharged from the face down discharge roller 18 to the face down. And discharge them to the discharge tray 19.
- the maintenance of the laser beam printer 1, that is, the jam processing and the replacement of the process cartridge 250 (500) are performed as shown by the two-point line in the figure. This operation is performed by rotating the upper part 2a of 2 upward with respect to the lower part 2b around the support P to open the inside of the device and inserting a hand in the direction of arrow E.
- attach and detach the process cartridge 2500 (500) It is done from the direction. That is, the force cartridge 250 (500) is made to enter the apparatus main body 1 from the arrow F direction, and the guide 30 la 1 on the cartridge side is connected to the guide on the main body side. Guide (not shown) toward the device position. Then, it is held by the mounting means 22 and 23 at the device position. Then, by rotating the upper part 2a clockwise about the support shaft P, the apparatus main body can form an image. At this time, the clockwise rotation of the upper portion 2a causes the engaging portion 301d3 of the protective cover 301d to engage with the engaging portion (not shown) of the main body.
- the arm 301d2 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the protective cover 301d moves to the retreat position D.
- the upper cover 2a is rotated counterclockwise to release it, so that the two engaging portions are disengaged, and the protective cover 30Id is mounted on the panel 310d.
- the panel moves to the protection position C by the panel force of 4.
- the feeding cassette 10 can be removed in the direction of arrow G.
- the aforementioned photosensitive drum unit only needs to have at least the photosensitive drum, and the developing unit must have at least the developing unit. It is not something that is done.
- the present invention has realized shortening of the assembling process.
