The sheet on which the toner image is transferred is transferred to the fixing device 13 by the suction and conveyance unit 12 and is heated and fixed. That is, since the roller 13a on the side of the photosensitive drum 1 is a heat roller having a built-in heater, when the paper on which the toner image is attached passes through the roller fixing device 13, the paper and the toner image are heated and the toner image is melted. The paper is soaked in the paper and fixed.

The trailing edge of the paper is the roller 1 of the path switching unit.
When passing through 7 and 18, the switchback roller 19 and the rollers 17 and 20 of the traveling path switching unit reversely rotate, so that the paper is guided to the upper traveling path 24 by the rollers 17 and 20 of the traveling path switching unit, Guide rollers 21, 22,
The paper is fed backward at 23, and makes a U-turn, and is transported between the transfer device 4 and the photosensitive drum 1 by the paper transport roller 11. As the sheet moves backward and makes a U-turn in this manner, the sheet is supplied to the transfer portion in an upside down state.

By the way, in the conventional apparatus, there is a problem that the sheet is deformed when the sheet passes through the sheet conveying roller 14 immediately after the fixing device after being heated and fixed in the fixing device 13. Since this deformation is such a minute amount that it is inconspicuous, there is no particular problem in the case of single-sided printing. Moreover, when time passes, it returns to the original state. However, in the case of double-sided printing, since the front and back sides are immediately reversed and transferred to the transfer portion and transferred to the back surface, transfer failure occurs during back surface printing.

That is, when printing on the surface of the paper, the paper deformed by the paper transport roller 14 is guided to the backward running path 24 by the switchback roller 19 and the rollers 17, 20 of the running path switching unit as described above, and the U-turn is performed. Then, when the toner image is transferred from the photosensitive drum 1 to the transfer portion in an upside down state, the entire surface is deformed due to the deformation of the paper.
Can not be adhered to and there is a gap. As a result, the toner on the photosensitive drum is not reliably transferred onto the paper on the surface that cannot be in close contact, which causes image defects such as character blurring, transfer omission, and insufficient density.

The deformation of the paper which causes such a transfer failure occurs when the hot paper immediately after being thermally fixed in the fixing device 13 is sandwiched by the paper conveying rollers 14. 6A and 6B are views showing a conventional sheet conveying roller, where FIG. 6A is a plan view and FIG. 6B is a side view. All the conventional paper transport rollers have a structure in which a metal shaft 25 is provided with a rubber roller 26 having a width W at a constant interval D.

As described above, in the conventional paper conveying roller, the area (W) where the rubber roller 26 exists and the area (D) where the rubber roller 26 does not exist.
Therefore, the area w where the pressure of the rubber roller 26 is applied and the area d where the pressure of the rubber roller 26 is not applied (hatched area) d are alternately generated on the sheet 27. In this way, there are regions where the rubber roller 26 receives pressure and regions where it does not. In particular, since the width W of the rubber roller 26 is small to save material, in the area d that does not contact the rubber roller 26 of the paper 27, Small deformations such as gentle waves on 27 are likely to occur.

In order to solve such a problem, the inventors of the present invention describe in Japanese Patent Application No. 3- (91-7824):
By improving the paper transport roller immediately after the heat fixing device, we have proposed a means that can prevent transfer defects when transferring to the back side in a double-sided printing device.

FIG. 7 is a plan view and a side view illustrating this solution. 28 is a paper carrying roller, and this paper carrying roller 28 is applied only to the paper carrying roller immediately after the heat fixing device. That is, the pair of sheet conveying rollers 28, 28 that sandwich the sheet 27 and rotate include the roller shaft 25 and the roller portion 29 made of rubber or resin. The roller portion 29 is provided over the entire width P of the sheet. In addition, the outer diameter is the same over the entire length, and the entire front and back surfaces of the paper 27 are in contact with the roller portions 29, 29.

In this way, the roller portion 29 of the paper carrying roller 28
Since the entire surface of the sheet 27 contacts, the entire surface of the sheet 27 is sandwiched between the pair of roller portions 29, 29, and the entire surface is uniformly pressed by the roller portions 29, 29. As a result, it is possible to prevent the paper 27 from being deformed when passing through the paper transport roller 28 immediately after the heat fixing device, and it is possible to prevent transfer failure during back surface printing.

Further, the roller portion 29 is provided with a sheet conveying roller 28 having the same outer diameter over the entire length, and the peripheral speed of the roller portion 29 is
By configuring V1 to be faster than the peripheral speed V2 of the heat roller 13a of the fixing device, the tension T acts between the fixing device 13 and the roller portion 29 over the entire width of the sheet 27. That is, the difference in peripheral speed between the heat roller 13a and the roller portion 29 of the paper transport roller 28 causes the paper 27 to be pulled uniformly over the entire width, so that the deformation is less likely to occur and the paper generated by the heat fixing device is not easily deformed. Even minute deformations can be removed.

In the case of a toner image having a high print density, a large amount of toner adheres to the surface of the paper, so the paper is pressed between the rollers 13a and 13b of the fixing device, and then the toner image side due to the viscosity of the molten toner. The paper 27 adheres to the heat roller 13a, and the paper 27 moves in such a manner as to be rolled up on the heat roller 13a side. But,
As described above, since the rollers 13a and 13b of the fixing device are provided with the separation claw 30 for peeling off the sheet to be stuck, the sheet is not caught by the rollers 13a and 13b of the fixing device.
