PURPOSE:To simplify a heating device and to reduce running cost by using heat generated from an optical system device so that an image receiving sheet is heated. CONSTITUTION:A fan 7 is actuated just with the process of forming an image and brings the air of the outside into a main body 1 through a hole part 71 to form the flow of the air in the main body 1. The air, which is brought in, is sent from the right to the left above a partitioning plate 4, meandering through the optical system device 5. Moreover it passes through a ventilation part 13 to collide with a conveying belt 12b and gets away to the outside from the upper part of a paper ejecting tray 11. The optical system device 5 has light source lamps 51 and 51 and generates the heat by scanning an original, and the heat passes through the ventilation part 13 with the flow of the air to be sent to the conveying belt 12b. The image receiving sheet where a colored image is formed is conveyed on the conveying belt 12b and heated with the said heat to accelerate the coloring of the image receiving sheet, and also thermoplasticity polymeric pigment is melted and becomes in a softened state to give a polish to the colored image. Thus, the cost of a device and the running cost can be reduced. |
