<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus configured to efficiently dehumidify and regenerate the dehumidifying member. <P>SOLUTION: The thermal regeneration cylindrical dehumidifying member 354 is rotatably attached to a housing 350a. A drying cavity 351 communicating with a sheet housing part 903 disposed in the housing and a regeneration cavity 352 prepared to regenerate the dehumidifying member 354, wherein a heating part 309 for thermally regenerating the dehumidifying member 354 is disposed, are partitioned by the dehumidifying member 354. The dehumidifying member 354 is rotated so that the part thereof located on the drying cavity side may be moved to the regeneration cavity 352, and the part may be thermally regenerated by the heating part 309. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
