PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for an extra space and obtain destaticizing effect securely without making constitution complex by incorporating a conductive material in a fixing roller and destaticizing a carrier. CONSTITUTION:A fixing device 38 fixes a toner image on transfer paper 33 by a heat roller 43 and a pressure roller 44 while clamping and conveying the transfer paper 33. Those heat roller 43 and pressure roller 44 are constituted by providing heat-resisting rubber materials 43b and 44b which contain a conductive material to outer peripheral parts of metallic shafts 43a and 44a. The transfer paper 33 to which the toner image is transferred is charged electrostatically, but is passed through the fixing device 38 to destaticize both surfaces by the heat roller 43 and pressure roller 44. Consequently, the transfer paper 33 never jams by being wound around the pressure roller 44 and discharged sheets of transfer paper 33 do not attract each other, so that there is no trouble during paper discharge. Further, a destaticizing device need not be provided separately, no extra space is unnecessary, and the constitution is prevented from becoming complex. |
