DECURLER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A decurler includes an endless decurling belt that is disposed so as to face an image surface of a recording medium to which an image has been thermally fixed, a decurling roller that contacts the decurling belt so as to form a decurling region between the decurling roller and the decurling belt, and a support member that is made of a thermally conductive synthetic resin having a thermal conductivity of 1(W/mK) or higher and that directly or indirectly contacts the decurling belt.

1. A decurler comprising:
an endless decurling belt disposed to face an image surface of a recording medium on which an image is fixed; a decurling roller configured to contact the decurling belt and configured to form a decurling region provided between the decurling roller and the decurling belt; and a support member made of a thermally conductive synthetic resin having a thermal conductivity of a range between 1 (W/mK) and 15 (W/mK) to remove heat from the recording medium and configured to directly or indirectly contact the decurling belt.
