Cleaning device and image forming apparatus

A cleaning device includes a separation and contact mechanism that separates a web from a conveyance roller and brings the web into contact with the conveyance roller, and a controller. The controller includes a conveyed sheet number determination unit and a separation and contact control unit. The conveyed sheet number determination unit monitors a conveyed sheet number of both-surface image forming sheets where image forming processing is applied to both a first surface and a second surface with respect to the sheets conveyed by the conveyance roller, and determines whether or not a cumulative value of the conveyed sheet number has reached a predetermined threshold value. The separation and contact control unit controls the separation and contact mechanism so as to allow the web to be pressed to the conveyance roller by a pressing roller when the cumulative value of the conveyed sheet number has reached the threshold value.

Image Forming Apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a feeding tray inserted into and pulled out from the housing, an image forming unit, and first and second guide members. The feeding tray includes a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated and a second accommodation part in which stacked sheet-shaped media are accommodated. The first guide member guides a sheet-shaped medium to a conveying path. The second guide member guides a roll medium unrolled from the roll body to the conveying path. The second guide member is movable between a guide position for guiding the roll medium to the conveying path, and a retreat position further distant from the first guide member than the guide position and where the second guide member does not interfere with a sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation part.

Print medium feeding device

A print medium feeding device removes a second sheet from a print medium that is in a state in which a first sheet, the second sheet, a the third sheet are superposed, superposes the first sheet and the third sheet, and feeds the first sheet and the third sheet to a printing device. The print medium feeding device includes: a first roller configured to come into contact with the third sheet and to be driven to rotate by movement of the third sheet; a second roller configured to come into contact with the first sheet and to be driven to rotate by movement of the first sheet; a roll-up member disposed upstream of the first roller and configured to roll up the second sheet; and a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotational force of the first roller to the roll-up member.
