摘要： Disclosed is a menu distribution system that provides a menu, which is viewable in a conventional manner and is customized for each customer. A customer allows a read/write device to read a customer ID information storage medium storing customer ID information. The read/write device transmits the customer ID information to a menu server. The menu server has a customer information storage unit that stores, for each customer, attribute information such as food preferences. The menu server selects a menu item most suitable for the customer identified by the transmitted customer ID information, by comparing customer attribute information and menu items stored in a menu item information storage unit. Menu image data is generated based on the selected menu item and is transmitted to the read/write device. The read/write device writes the received menu image data to a memory of a paper like display.

摘要： An unfixed toner image on a transferring and fixing belt is passed through a pair of toner integrating rollers. A surface side of the toner integrated that is in contact with a paper, is heated by a halogen heater to impart a tackiness required for fixing. As a result of this, a temperature of a surface side of the toner that is in contact with the transferring and fixing belt is not as high as a temperature of the surface side of the toner that is in contact with the paper. Therefore, even if the toner is pressurized, and transferred and fixed at a fixing nip, a difference in an area of the toner is small. This enables to achieve a good image quality.

摘要翻译： 转印和定影带上的未定影的调色剂图像通过一对调色剂整合辊。 与纸接触的集成的调色剂的表面侧被卤素加热器加热以赋予固定所需的粘性。 结果，与转印和定影带接触的调色剂的表面侧的温度不如与纸接触的调色剂的表面侧的温度那么高。 因此，即使调色剂被加压，并且在定影辊隙处被转印并固定，调色剂的面积差也很小。 这使得能够实现良好的图像质量。

摘要： A fixing apparatus includes a fixing member to be heated and a pressure-contacting member for pressure contacting the fixing member. The fixing apparatus directs and conveys a recording member through a nip formed between the fixing member and pressure applying member in such a manner that a toner image carried on a recording member contacts the fixing member in order to be fixed thereto with heat and pressure. The fixing apparatus is configured to direct a tip margin of the recording member toward the pressure applying member across a virtual linear extension line drawn from a downstream end to upstream end of the nip when only the tip margin exits from the nip. A fixing member side separation device may be separately provided from the surface of the fixing apparatus so as to separate the recording member exiting from the nip. A gap formed between the downstream end of the nip and the tip of the fixing member side separation device is set smaller than the width of the tip margin.
