IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image recording apparatus capable of preventing the occurrence of dew condensation in the vicinity of a paper delivery outlet and improper conveyance of a recording paper because pressure inside a light exposure unit becomes negative pressure and air from a development unit side enters when making pressure inside a drum negative pressure by a blower and absorbing the recording paper on an outer peripheral face of the drum.

SOLUTION: This image recording apparatus is provided with the light exposure unit 11 absorbing the recording paper on the outer peripheral face of the drum and conveying the recording paper to an outlet 19 after performing light exposure on the recording paper by absorbing the inside of the drum 10 by a suction blower P1 outside of the device. Exhaust air of the suction blower is returned into the light exposure unit to keep the inside of the apparatus in a positive pressure condition in order to prevent dew condensation by preventing entry of air from the outside. Exhaust air of the suction blower is led into a guide member for the recording paper in the vicinity of the outlet to increase temperature of the guide member in order to prevent dew condensation.
