Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the device on the whole and to reduce the cost by using the radiant heat energy of a laser beam for fixing of an unfixed toner image on a form, and using this laser beam as an exposure light source for a photosensitive body. CONSTITUTION:The laser beam reflected by a polygon mirror 6 from a laser light source 8 to a form conveyance path is directed to a reverse-surface position of a platen 10 by a changeover mirror 11 to expose an original placed on the platen 10 by making a fast scan at right angles to the movement direction of the platen 10 according to the rotation of the polygon mirror 6. The image formed on the photosensitive body 7 is transferred to the form as the unfixed toner image. When this toner image is fixed, the changeover mirror 11 is switched to irradiate the form being conveyed with the laser beam from the polygon mirror 6 directly, and the unfixed toner image on the form is fixed by the radiant heat energy of the laser beam.
