Abstract: A device includes an operating portion, a switch and a controller. The device is operable in a first mode in which a predetermined operation is executed and in a second mode of which power consumption is reduced rather than in the first mode, and operates in a state connected to an image forming apparatus. The operating portion operates by an AC voltage supplied from an external power source. The switch supplies the AC voltage to the operating portion in a conductive state and cuts off supply of the AC voltage to the operating portion in a non-conductive state. The controller operates by a DC voltage generated from the AC voltage by a power source provided in the image forming apparatus. The controller controls to cause the switch to be in the non-conductive state so as to stop operation of the operating portion when the device shifts from the first mode to the second mode.

Abstract: A power supply device includes a transformer including a primary winding, a secondary winding and an auxiliary winding, first, second and third circuits, and a switch. The first circuit in which a first capacitor and a first rectifier are connected in series is connected to the primary winding in parallel. The switch of which one end is connected to one end of the primary winding. The second circuit in which the auxiliary winding and a second rectifier are connected in serial is connected between a connecting point, to which the first capacitor and the first rectifier are connected, and the other end of the switch. The third circuit including a resistor and a third rectifier is connected to a gate of the switch. In the third circuit, a resistance value in a direction where a current flows into the gate of the switch is smaller than that in a direction where the current flows out of the gate.

Abstract: A feeding apparatus includes a rotary member unit having a feeding rotary member to feed a recording material and a separating rotary member which forms a nip portion with the feeding rotary member, an output unit, and a control unit. Where a single recording material is fed to the nip portion, the separating rotary member is rotated in a predetermined direction by the single recording material and, where recording materials are overlapped with one another and fed to the nip portion, the separating rotary member rotation is stopped or rotated in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to separate the overlapped recording materials. The output unit outputs a state signal in accordance with a separating rotary member rotation state. The control unit obtains a rotation speed of the separating rotary member from the state signal output and determines that the rotary member unit is replaced with a new product.
