A cooling fan 41 and a belt suction duct 39 that can move to the upstream and downstream sides in the moving direction of the belt are arranged at the inside of the gloss application belt 30. The gloss application belt 30 is deformed to a circular-arc shape when sucked, accordingly, a paper sheet P is curvature-separated. The gloss is adjusted by adjusting the position of the belt suction duct 39. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
