Abstract: A maintenance device maintains a head unit including an inkjet head. The maintenance device includes a cap, a supply part, a first heating part, and a second heating part. The cap is attached on a nozzle surface of the inkjet head. The supply part stores a humidifying medium, generates a humidified air by passing air through the humidifying medium, and supplies the humidified air to the cap. The first heating part heats the supply part. The second heating part heats the cap.

Abstract: A maintenance device maintains a head unit including an inkjet head. The maintenance device includes a cap, a supply part, an air pump, and a restriction part. The cap is attached to a nozzle surface of the inkjet head. The supply part stores a humidifying medium, generates a humidified air by passing air through the humidifying medium, and supplies the humidified air to the cap. The air pump sends air recovered from the cap to the supply part through a supply flow pass. The restriction part is provided in the supply flow pass, and generates a loss of pressure of 4σ/R or more (σ: a surface tension of the humidifying medium WM, R: an inner diameter of the supply flow pass).

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers, a charging device, an exposure device, a development device, and an intermediate transfer belt. The image carrier has a surface on which an amorphous silicon photosensitive layer is formed. The intermediate transfer belt is a plastic belt having a surface resistivity of 9.5 to 10.5 (log Ω/square). An offset amount of the primary transfer roller from the image carrier is 0 to 2 (mm), a contact surface pressure between the image carrier and the intermediate transfer belt is 0.5 to 1.5 (gf/mm2), and a charge density of primary transfer current that flows when the primary transfer voltage is applied to the primary transfer roller is 0.016 to 0.040 (μC/cm2).

Abstract: A sheet postprocessing device includes a saddle binding device configured to stack a plurality of recording sheets on a table, abut leading edges of the respective recording sheets against a leading edge cursor, thus to align the leading edges with each other, and bind the center of the recording sheets and fold the recording sheets, and a first pressing member supported so as to pivot in a direction toward and away from the table. The first pressing member is made to pivot toward the table by self-weight thereof, allows the leading edge of the recording sheet delivered to the table to pass toward the leading edge cursor, and presses a portion of the recording sheet in a proximity of the leading edge, at a position upstream of the leading edge cursor, in a delivery direction of the recording sheet.

Abstract: The fixing device includes a heater, a holding member, a fixing member, a pressure roller, a drive mechanism, and a resistance measuring circuit. The holding member includes a metal portion and holds the heater. The pressure roller is rotatably supported, and applies pressure to a toner image on a sheet by sandwiching the fixing member and the sheet between the pressure roller and the heater. The resistance measuring circuit measures electrical resistance of the metal portion of the holding member. The control device controls whether to allow or prohibit a supply of power to the heater in accordance with a rotation state of the pressure roller and a measured resistance value of the resistance measuring circuit.

Abstract: A transfer unit includes a seamless transfer belt, a plurality of transfer rollers, a backup roller, a plurality of pairs of first bearing holders, a pair of second bearing holders and a pair of sliders. Each of the sliders is reciprocated such that each of the first bearing holders slides on the corresponding one of the first step ribs to be reciprocated in a direction toward and away from the transfer belt and the second bearing holder slides on the second step rib to be reciprocated in the direction toward and away from the transfer belt. The first step rib arranged most upstream in the direction of travel of the transfer belt and the second step rib are arranged side by side in the axial direction of the transfer roller, and overlap each other when viewed in the axial direction.
