PURPOSE: To excellently reuse a recovered carrier liquid by recovering/liquefying carrier liquid vapor generated in a fixing part, etc., and separating water from the obtained liquid and to smoothly recover vapor by arranging a fan for recovering the vapor in a proper position. CONSTITUTION: Air including solvent vapor in a solvent vapor collecting chamber 21 formed in such a manner that the fixing part and a paper ejecting part are covered with a cover member 20 is sucked by a sucking fan 25 through a first duct part 23 and a liquefying part 24 and the solvent vapor and the steam are liquefied by the liquefying part 24, to flow down in the liquid receiver 30 of a separating part 29 installed in the lower part by gravity. A solvent and the water are separated by the separating part 29 and stored in storage tanks 31 and 32 respectively. Since the sucking fan 25 contacts only with the air from which the solvent vapor is removed by the liquefying, the decrease of recovery efficiency caused by the sticking of the solvent to the fan is prevented. |
