Estimating the term…
A process cartridge includes a first upper and second lower frame, separably engageable to each other, an image bearing member, a process means acting on the image bearing member, and a positioning device for positioning an optical unit of an image forming apparatus when the process cartridge is mounted within the image forming apparatus. With this arrangement, the present invention can provide a process cartridge and an image forming apparatus capable of mounting the process cartridge, which can form an image with higher quality than that of the conventional techniques, without distorting the image. The positioning member is located on the second lower frame and passes through openings formed on the first upper frame in order to position the optical unit.
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main body of an image forming system, the main body having optical means rockably attached thereto for irradiating a light beam corresponding to an image to an electrophotographic photosensitive member, said process cartridge comprising:
An image forming system having a main body onto which a process cartridge is removably mountable and which forms an image onto a recording medium, said image forming system comprising:
A process cartridge removably mountable onto a main body of an electrophotographic photosensitive image forming system including an original setting platen on which an original is set, a lamp for irradiating a surface of the original set on the original setting platen with a light beam, a lens for introducing a reflected light from the original surface to an electrophotographic photosensitive member, and a rockable support member for supporting the lamp and the lens, said process cartridge comprising:
A process cartridge removably mounted onto a main body of an image forming system including a reciprocally movable original setting glass on which an original is set, a lamp for irradiating a surface of the original set on the original setting glass, a lens for introducing a reflected light from a surface of the original to an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a lens unit rockably supporting the lamp and the lens, original setting glass positioning members provided on the lens unit such that the original setting glass, upon moving, rides over the original setting glass positioning members, and an openable/closable cover having a mount portion for mounting said process cartridge, said lens unit being rockably provided on the openable/closable cover and the original setting glass positioning members protruding from penetration holes disposed proximate to each end of an exposure aperture formed on the openable/closable cover in a longitudinal direction thereof, said process cartridge comprising:
An electrophotographic image forming system for forming an image on a recording medium, said image forming system comprising:
An electrophotographic image forming system for forming an image on a recording medium, said image forming system comprising:
