Abstract

PURPOSE:To always obtain a good copy regardless of the humidity of the atmosphere of the outside air by jetting air passing through a drier container to the surface of paper in a paper feed cassette loaded on a paper feed portion so as to adjust the humidity of paper. CONSTITUTION:A closed cover 2 is mounted on a paper feed cassette 1. A part of the cover 2 is turned on a hinge 2b to form a movable cover 2a capable of opening and closing, whereby when the cassette is not used, the movable cover 2a is closed so as to protect paper P in the cassette from humidity in the atmosphere. A copying machine is provided with a dehumidified air supply device 3. The device 3 comprises a container 5 filled with a drier 6, a blower 4 connected to the container 5 and a blast pipe 7, one end thereof being opposed to the container 5, the other end 6a thereof being opposed to the paper P in the paper feed cassette 1. At the time of copying, dehumidified air from the device 3 is supplied to the paper P to dehumidify the paper P. Thus, a copy failure due to moisture adsorption of paper P can be overcome.

In the electrostatic transfer method in the electrophotographic process, 'IR
The image is transferred by applying a charge of opposite polarity to the toner image to the paper. Therefore, if the transfer paper absorbs moisture and becomes conductive, it will not be possible to secure the necessary charge, and the transfer will fail. Because the electric field of the paper is weak, good π rotation cannot be achieved.

Therefore, conventional paper feed cassettes have been used that have completely open tops, or that allow air to circulate freely between the inside and outside even when the lid is closed. Therefore, during the rainy season A. (r) When the relative humidity of the outside air was high, the claws inside the paper feed cassette absorbed lIσ air and became in a state of high moisture content, making it easy for copies to drop out due to poor transfer.

On the other hand, the copying machine is equipped with a dehumidified air supply device 3, and the device 3 is equipped with a desiccant 6', such as linica gel, chloride, etc. i: A filled container 5, a blower 4 connected to the container 5, one end connected to the container 5, the other end 6

Therefore, during copying, air from the blower 4 is transferred to the container 5,
The paper P in the paper feed cassette 1 is blown 4q through the air pipe 7 with a wire. This ejected air A passes through the inside of the container 5'1
Since the paper P is dehumidified by the desiccant 6 during this period and is in a low humidity state, the paper P is effectively dehumidified even if the paper P is in a moisture-absorbing state. Note that air A is supplied from paper feed cassette 1.
The first jet is ejected onto the exit side surface of the paper P inside. In addition, dehumidification is carried out over the entire surface of the paper L that enters the inside of the paper feed cassette 1, and while the paper P is being carried out, the entire surface from the front end to the rear end is dehumidified. Since direct injection is performed sequentially, uneven dehumidification does not occur.
