Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming section configured to form a toner image on a sheet having a paste component; and an end pressing section provided on an upstream side of the image forming section in a sheet conveyance direction, and configured to exert a pressure on an end portion of the sheet while moving from a center toward an end of the sheet in a sheet width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image forming section configured to form a toner image on a sheet having a paste component; and an end pressing section provided on an upstream side of the image forming section in a sheet conveyance direction, and configured to exert a pressure on an end portion of the sheet while moving from a center toward an end of the sheet in a sheet width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction. 2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the end pressing section includes a plate-shaped member. 3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the end pressing section exerts a pressure on the end portion of the sheet while moving the plate-shaped member at a speed equal to a speed for conveying the sheet. 4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the end pressing section includes a spiral-shaped member. 5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the end pressing section includes a member in which a protrusion is formed. 6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, in the end pressing section, the member is disposed in a spiral form. 7. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus. 8. The image formation system according to claim 7 , wherein the end pressing section includes a plate-shaped member. 9. The image formation system according to claim 8 , wherein the end pressing section exerts a pressure on the end portion of the sheet while moving the plate-shaped member at a speed equal to a speed for conveying the sheet. 10. The image formation system according to claim 7 , wherein the end pressing section includes a spiral-shaped member. 11. The image formation system according to claim 7 , wherein the end pressing section includes a member in which a protrusion is formed. 12. The image formation system according to claim 11 , wherein, in the end pressing section, the member is disposed in a spiral form. 13. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus. 14. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 3 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus. 15. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 4 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus. 16. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 5 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus. 17. An image formation system comprising: a sheet feeding apparatus configured to feed a label roll sheet having a paste component; the image forming apparatus according to claim 6 ; and a winding apparatus configured to wind up the label roll sheet on which an image is formed by the image forming apparatus.
