Embodiment Construction

[0021] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] 1 to 3 show the imaging device 10 of the embodiment of the present invention. The imaging device 10 has an imaging device main body 12. An upper discharge portion 14 serving as a first discharge portion is formed in the upper portion of the main body 12 of the image forming apparatus, onto which a sheet (such as a plain paper) is discharged. On the side which is the left side of the image forming apparatus main body 12 in FIG. 1, there is provided a discharge tray 15 serving as a second discharge portion to which sheets are discharged. The upper part of the image forming apparatus main body 12 is configured as an openable and closable cover 16 that can be opened and closed between the closed position shown in FIG. 1 and the open position shown in FIG. 2.

[0023] A conveyor belt 20 that conveys sheets is provided in the image forming apparatus main body 12....

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes: a body; a transport belt that includes a transport face, and that transports the sheet while supporting the sheet on a transport face; a developer-image forming portion that forms a developer image on the sheet transported by transport belt; and a fixing device that includes a contact portion disposed lower position than the transport face, and that fixes the developer image on the sheet by the contact portion.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device, such as a copier, a fax machine, or a printer. Background technique [0002] This type of image forming apparatus is already familiar to people, and it includes: a conveyor belt that conveys the sheet through a conveying surface that has a component facing downward in the direction of gravity; a developer image forming part that is driven by the conveyor belt A developer image is formed on the conveyed sheet; and a fixing device that fixes the developer image formed by the developer image forming portion to the sheet (Japanese Patent No. 3,398,064). [0003] However, there are some problems in the conventional technology that the sheet separated by the conveying belt is not properly conveyed to the fixing device, and thus, the image quality is degraded because the sheet is not conveyed properly. Summary of the invention [0004] The present invention is implemented to solve the above-mentioned problems. T...
