The reason for configuring all the heat rollers 10 on the back side of the paper is as follows.
■Since the transfer layer of the intermediate transfer body 6 is a rubber layer with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and low thermal conductivity, it is more thermally efficient than configuring the heat roller 10 on the back side of the intermediate transfer body 6. ■ If the intermediate transfer body 6 is heated to the toner melting temperature, the heat capacity of the rubber layer is large, so the secondary transfer (
Thermal fixation) When returning from position A to primary transfer potential B, heat dissipation is not sufficient, and heat is transmitted from intermediate transfer body 6 to image holding body 1 at -second transfer thick portion B, resulting in poor performance of groove holding body 1. deteriorates or
One of the problems is that softened toner adheres to the image carrier l (filming).

For these reasons, conventionally, secondary transfer has been performed by heating the paper from the back side. However, when heating paper from the back side, heat distribution occurs in the thickness direction of the paper, resulting in a temperature difference between the front and back sides of the paper.The amount of heat shrinkage differs between the front and back sides of the paper, causing the paper to curl, or toner on the front side. When the melting temperature has not been reached, there is a problem in that the toner is not sufficiently fixed on the paper.
