<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of suppressing power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: An almost sealed space 20 is provided in a transfer material conveyance path 9 connected to the outside of the device from a fixing device 8 and further a gas flow path 24 connected to an image forming part 4 in which an image carrier 1 is disposed from the almost sealed space 20 is provided. And, a gas flow path 22 connected to the almost sealed space 20 from the image forming part 4 and a blower fan 23 for blowing gas into the gas flow path 22 are provided. If a transfer material P which is fixedly heated and dried is temporarily stopped or passed in the almost sealed space 20, the transfer material P absorbs moisture to dry the almost sealed space 20 and the dried air in the almost sealed space 20 is transferred to the image forming part 4 through a gas flow path 23 to dry the image forming part 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
