Image forming apparatus having toner particle modulator with elliptical aperture

摘要

An image forming apparatus capable of forming an image with a high-resolution. The image forming apparatus comprises an aperture electrode wherein toner particles are controlled so as to pass through each of the apertures or not so as to pass through each of the apertures. The image forming apparatus capable of forming an image by forming toner dots on a recording medium, has an aperture electrode having a plurality of elliptical apertures such that an minor axis of the aperture is parallel to the direction of movement of the supporting member.
