Zhuhai Pantum Electronics Co., Ltd.

The present disclosure provides a conductive part, a process cartridge, and a process cartridge set. The conductive part includes an electrical receiving portion; an electrical output portion; and an electrical transfer portion. The electrical transfer portion is electrically connected to the electrical receiving portion, the electrical output portion and an electrical conduction portion respectively; and configured to transfer power received by the electrical receiving portion to the electrical output portion and the electrical conduction portion. When the conductive part is configured to conduct electricity to the process cartridge, the electrical receiving portion is electrically connected to a power supply at an outside of current process cartridge to receive a first voltage. The electrical output portion is electrically connected to an image-forming member in current process cartridge and transfers a second voltage to the image-forming member; and the electrical conduction portion outputs a third voltage.

An image forming device includes: an image bearing member to rotate; a charging member to charge a surface of the image bearing member; a developing member located in a rotation direction of the image bearing member and in downstream of the charging member along the rotation direction, and configured to supply developer to the image bearing member; a driving unit to drive the image bearing member, the charging member and the developing member to rotate; and a control unit, configured to adjust a control timing for applying a voltage to the charging member and the developing member, and control an operating state of the driving unit according to a current state of the image forming device, to eliminate charges in an area on the image bearing member between a position of the charging member and a position of the developing member.

A control method and a control device of an optional paper tray are provided. The control method is applied to an image forming device, and include: according to a position of a bottom plate of the optional paper tray, determining whether a triggering condition for lifting the bottom plate is met; and using a paper feeding driving unit of the optional paper tray to drive the bottom plate of the optional paper tray to be lifted when the triggering condition for lifting the bottom plate is met. The paper feeding driving unit is used to transport paper in the optional paper tray.

A data processing method includes: obtaining object attributes of a page to be processed, the object attributes including an object number and an object type, wherein the page to be processed is a page of a document in an image formation job; determining, based on the object number and the object type of the page to be processed, whether a source of the page to be processed is a first source or a second source, wherein the first source is a scanned document and the second source is a non-scanned document; and when the source of the page to be processed is the first source, optimizing the page to be processed according to a first optimization strategy that aligns with the first source.

A WiFi network access method is applied to a peripheral apparatus. The peripheral apparatus includes a first Bluetooth module and a WiFi module. The method includes, in response to the peripheral apparatus entering a network configuration state, entering a first broadcast state through the first Bluetooth module, sending a first type broadcast packet to a control terminal through the first Bluetooth module, establishing a Bluetooth connection between the peripheral apparatus and the control terminal, receiving router network configuration information from the control terminal through the first Bluetooth module, and connecting the WiFi module into a WiFi network according to the router network configuration information. The first type broadcast packet includes service UUID, identification information of the peripheral apparatus, and a device ID. The identification information of the peripheral apparatus allows a user to first select the peripheral apparatus in a display interface of the control terminal for network configuration.

An adapter is installed on a cartridge detachably disposed on a main body of an image forming apparatus. The main body includes a first conductive contact and a protective structure. The protective structure is disposed on a rear frame of the main body. The protective structure includes a protective element. When the cartridge is not inserted into the main body, the protective element is in a first position to protect the first conductive contact. The cartridge includes a housing, an accommodation part, and a second conductive contact. The accommodation part is disposed on the housing. The second conductive contact is used to electrically connect with the first conductive contact. The adapter includes a pressing element that is used to cooperate with the protective structure.

Provided is a heating control method and image forming apparatus. The heating control method includes: when an image forming apparatus is in a printing state, determining a time duration t 1 required for the fixing assembly to rise from a current temperature or a temperature at a set moment to a preset target temperature; and determining a time point of the fixing assembly to start heating based on a distance from a preset location to a central position of the fixing assembly, a travelling speed of a printing medium, and the time t 1.
