摘要： An air quality management apparatus for use in a modular electrostatographic color printer. For air quality management a non-air-conditioned open-loop portion is provided for managing quality of air in a first interior volume, and an air-conditioned recirculation portion is provided for managing quality of air in a second interior volume. The first interior volume includes a fusing station for fusing color images on receiver members. The second interior volume includes a number of tandemly arranged image-forming modules, as well as an auxiliary chamber associated with, yet isolated from, each module, such that air-conditioned air flowing through each module does not mix with air-conditioned air supplied to the modules and to devices within the modules. The second interior volume is differentiated from the first interior volume by at least one separating member. The air-conditioning device is for controlling temperature and relative humidity of air included in the second interior volume.

摘要： It is an object of the present invention to provide an energy-saving image forming apparatus capable of fixing toner in a reliable manner to enhance the quality of images, control the temperature of toner residue to reuse the toner in a reliable manner, and reduce the power consumption of the apparatus. In a copier, a photoconductive drum carries a toner image to be transferred to a recording medium, a heater of a fixing unit fixes the transferred toner image on the recording medium, and a cleaning unit removes toner residue on the photoconductive drum after transfer. The whole copier is covered with a housing, a first ventilation system ventilates the inside and outside of the housing, and a controlling section regulates the amount of ventilation by the first ventilation system in accordance with an output from a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the cleaning unit. As a result, it is possible to effectively reuse the collected toner and ensure excellent quality images.

摘要： By using a duct, an image forming device in which an upper portion of a thermal fixing mechanism and an optical mechanism can be cooled. A fixing unit is disposed on the left side of the duct. A first auxiliary plate, which supports a scanner unit having a drive motor, is disposed above an upper opening of the duct. A process cartridge is disposed with its end next to the right side of the duct, and a second auxiliary plate is disposed below the duct. A power source is placed under the second auxiliary plate. Accordingly, cooling air from an intake fan is directed to four directions: between an upper portion of the fixing unit and the first auxiliary plate, to the underside of the first auxiliary plate, to the end of the process cartridge, and to the power source.
