with image data input from an external device described hereinbelow . the laser beam emitted from the laser unit 22 is reflected by a reflector 22a and irradiates the transferring roller 25 to form a latent image corresponding to the image data . toner cartridge 23 supports the transferring roller 25 rotatably and has a toner tank storing the toner particles and a toner particle supply portion supplying the toner particles to the transferring roller 25 . in this embodiment , as the space is not provided in the sheet guide &# 39 ; s horizontal part , toner particle cartridge 23 can be designed in a large shape and thus can store a large amount of the toner particles . moreover , an aperture is provided at substantially a central upper part of the toner cartridge 23 so that the laser beam emitted from the laser unit 22 can irradiate the transferring roller 25 through the aperture . the laser beam forms the latent image corresponding to the image data on the transferring

. the discharging rollers 33 are rotatably provided at the sheet outlet 11a and discharge a sheet 13 on which the toner image is formed onto the discharging tray 31 installed on the laser printer 11 . next , the electric construction of laser printer 11 is explained by referring to fig3 . the control part c which functions as a control means controls the laser printer 11 and comprises a well - known microcomputer which has cpu 51 , rom 53 and ram 55 . rom53 and ram55 are connected to cpu 51 by bus 57 . moreover , external device 61 such as a host computer is connected to cpu 51 through interface 59 connected to bus 57 . this external device 61 outputs the image data which consists of a character code and a control code . in addition , the cpu 51 has a timer 51a which functions as a time count means . various programs such as a program for printing the image based on the image data on sheet 13 by print part 21 , a program for supplying a sheet 13 shown by a flowchart in fig4 and various data such as data to make the character pattern of the character code , are stored in rom 53 . moreover , a first time , second time and third time are stored in rom 53 . the first time is time taken for one rotation of separation roller 17 after the first electromagnetic clutch 65 is connected . the second time is the time interval between detection of the front edge of sheet 13 by sensor 42 to the connection of the second electromagnetic clutch 67 . the third time is the time interval between detection of the front edge of sheet 13 by sensor 42 to the disassociation of the second electromagnetic clutch 67 . on the other hand , ram 55 has various buffer areas such as the page buffer which stores the dot data of one page based on the image data and the reception buffer which temporarily stores the image data output from external device 61 . the laser unit 22 , the thermal fixing part 29 , the motor 63 , the first electromagnetic clutch 65 , the second electromagnetic clutch 67 and sensor 42 are connected to the control part c . the control part c controls the laser beam to be emitted by laser unit 22 based on the image data input from external device 61 . moreover , the control part c controls the heat source in the heat roller 29a so that the temperature of the heat roller 29a of thermal fixing part 29 may be maintained constant . further , the control part c controls the motor 63 , and controls the connection or disassociation of the first electromagnetic clutch 65 and the second electromagnetic clutch 67 based on the output signal from the sensor 42 and the first , the second and the third times stored in rom 53 . next , the paper supplying movement of laser printer 11 is explained by referring to fig4 . when the image data is input from external device 61 through interface 59 , this image data is stored in ram 55 . next , the control part c memorizes the dot data of one page in the page buffer of ram55 based on the stored image data . control part c executes the flowchart shown in fig4 . first , cpu 51 makes the first electromagnetic clutch 65 connection , and the first electromagnetic clutch 65 transmits the rotational power from the motor 63 to the separation roller 17 in step 1 . ( hereafter , all steps are referred to with the prefix &# 34 ; s &# 34 ;.) next , cpu 51 makes timer 51a built in cpu 51 start to count a time ( s2 ). then , the separation roller 17 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in fig2 by the motor 63 . the uppermost sheet 13 accumulated in the sheet cassette 15 is separated by the rotation of the separation roller 17 , and the separated sheet 13 is sent out of the sheet cassette 15 . moreover , the paper supplying rollers 19 are driven by the motor 63 and are rotated at the same time . next , cpu 51 reads out the first time stored in rom 53 , and judges whether the timer 51a has counted the first time or not ( s3 ). when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has not counted the first time ( s3 : no ), cpu 51 repeats the s3 . when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has counted the first time ( s3 : yes ), cpu 51 makes the first electromagnetic clutch 65 separate , and the rotational power of the motor 63 is not transmitted to the separation roller 17 ( s4 ). the separation roller 17 is stopped after one rotation when the transmission of the rotational power of the motor 63 is intercepted . moreover , cpu 51 stops and initializes the timer 51a ( s5 ). the sheet 13 sent from sheet cassette 15 by one rotation of the separation roller 17 is fed along the paper feeding path 35 toward the resist rollers 41 by the paper supplying roller 19 . at this time , cpu 51 judges whether the sensor 42 has output a signal or not ( s6 ). when cpu 51 determines that the sensor 42 has not output the signal ( s6 : no ), cpu 51 repeats the s6 . when the sheet 13 is fed and the front edge of the sheet 13 moves the actuator 42a from the first position to the second position , the sensor 42 outputs a signal to cpu 51 which shows that the sheet 13 has curved near the resist rollers 42 . when cpu 51 receives the signal output from the sensor 42 ( s6 : yes ), cpu 51 makes the timer 51a start to count a time again ( s7 ). cpu 51 reads out the second time stored in rom 53 , and judges whether the timer 51a has counted the second time or not ( s8 ). when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has not counted the second time ( s8 : no ), cpu 51 repeats the s8 . at this time , feeding of the sheet 13 continues , and the front edge of the sheet 13 is bumped against the resist rollers 41 at a stop state . then , the neighboring part of the rear end of the sheet 13 comes in contact with the projection part 38 of the sheet guide 37a . however , as the sheet 13 continues being fed by the paper supplying rollers 19 , the sheet 13 is bent in the curve part 39 between the resist rollers 41 and the projection part 38 as shown in fig2 with a dashed line . because of this bending of the sheet 13 , the front edge of the sheet 13 strongly contacts resist rollers 41 , and the inclination and the position of the sheet 13 are corrected . the second time is set longer than a time which is necessary for the correction of the inclination and position of the sheet 13 . when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has counted the second time ( s8 : yes ), cpu 51 makes the second electromagnetic clutch 67 connect , and the rotational power of the motor 63 is transmitted to the resist rollers 41 ( s9 ). when resist rollers 41 are caused to rotate by the motor 63 , the sheet 31 is fed toward print part 21 . at this time , cpu 51 makes the timer 51a keep counting the time without initialization . further , cpu 51 reads out the third time stored in rom 53 and judges whether the timer 51a has counted the third time or not ( s10 ). when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has not counted the third time ( s10 : no ), cpu 51 repeats the s10 . when cpu 51 determines that the timer 51a has counted the third time ( s10 : yes ), cpu 51 makes the second electromagnetic clutch 67 disassociate ( s11 ) and stops the rotation of the resist rollers 41 . as the third time is set longer than the time from when the front edge of the sheet 13 is sensed by the sensor 42 to when the rear end of sheet 13 is separated from the resist rollers 41 , the rear end of the sheet 13 has already arrived at the print part 21 when resist rollers 41 stop . the sheet 13 is fed to the transferring position between transferring roller 25 and transferring portion 27 in print part 21 by resist rollers 41 . on the other hand , the laser beam based on the dot pattern of one page stored in the page buffer of ram 55 is emitted to the transferring roller 25 from the laser unit 22 , and the latent image is formed on the transferring roller 25 . then , the toner particles are supplied from the well - known toner particle supply portion to this latent image , and the toner image is formed on the transferring roller 25 . this toner image is transferred onto the sheet 13 which has been fed to the transferring position in transferring portion 27 . the sheet 13 on which the toner image is transferred is further fed along the sheet guide 47 , and goes into the thermal fixing part 29 . the sheet 13 is heated in the thermal fixing part 29 and the toner image is fixed on the sheet 13 . the sheet 13 on which the toner image is fixed is further fed along the sheet guide 48 , and discharged through the sheet outlet 11a on the discharging tray 31 by the discharging rollers 33 . as described above in detail , the laser printer 1 of the present invention has a curve part 38 in which the sheet 13 is stored in a vertical part of paper feeding path 35 . thus , it is possible to enlarge the toner cartridge or to miniaturize the entire printer . moreover , the inclination and the position of the sheet 13 can be corrected and sheet 13 can be accurately fed between the transferring roller 25 and transferring portion 27 in print part 21 . the invention is not limited to the above - mentioned embodiment . the present invention can be changed and modified without departing from the scope of the invention . for instance , a counter may be used in this invention instead of the timer 51a built in cpu 51 . moreover , the sheet feeding device of this embodiment can be applied to other image forming devices such as an ink jet printer , a dot printer , a thermal transfer printer and a copier .
