PURPOSE:To reproduce a hot-melt ink layer by successively laminating a transparent conductive layer, a photoconductive layer, a conductive layer and a hot melt ink layer onto a base material on a light-transmitting hollow cylinder, applying voltage between the transparent conductive layer and the conductive layer and applying image information light from the inside. CONSTITUTION:A heat-generating drum 7 is composed by successively laminating a transparent conductive layer 2, a photoconductive layer 3, a conductive layer 4 and a hot-melt ink layer 5 on a light-transmitting hollow cylindrical substrate 1, and turned in the same direction as the carrying direction of recording paper by applying voltage between the conducitve layers 2, 4 from a power supply 6. When image information light is applied from the inside of the heat-generating drum 7, the resistance value of the photoconductive layer 3 is lowered to generate Joule heat, and the hot melt ink layer 5 is transferred and recorded on recording paper. When light irradiation is stopped, the photoconductive layer 3 recovers insulating properties thereof, the hot melt ink layer 5 is brought into contact with a heating roll by the revolution of the heat-generating drum 7, and a transferring section is supplied with ink and regenerated. |
