<p>PURPOSE:To prevent lowering the copying efficiency by heating and drying copy paper through the use of microwaves, by connecting a microwave oscillator and a waveguide formed with a ladder circuit, and locating a ladder circuit close to a paper feeding path of the copy paper. CONSTITUTION:After electrostatic creepage image formed on a photoreceptor 2 is developed with toner, it is copied on a copy paper 12 with a copying means 11. since a microwave heater 18 is provided near a carrying path for the copy paper 12, a microwave generated from a microwave oscillator 37 is leaked from a waveguide 39 formed with a ladder circuit 38 and operates with the copy paper 12 passing on it to heat and dry it. Thus, even with the copy paper 12 with less water content and high insulation, the copying can be made at the copying means 11.</p> |
