PURPOSE: To substantially prevent the generation of troubles, such as curling and jamming of paper, and to enable quick printing by executing a fixing stage at a specific temp. and the line pressing in the, fixing stage under a specific pressure.
CONSTITUTION: Toners 10 are interfacial polymn. type capsule toners and the fixing stage is executed at ≥40°C to ≤120°C. The line pressure in the fixing stage is specified to <4kg/cm2. The toners 10 stuck to the electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive body 1 are transferred onto a recording medium 6 by a transfer device 5b in such a case. A cleaning device 8, such as cleaning web, for removing a slight amt. of the toners 10 remaining on the photosensitive body 1 after the transfer stage is installed to face the photosensitive body 1. The fixing section includes a heater 4 for heating, a fixing roller 12 and an endless type film 11. The recording medium 6 having the toner image transferred onto the fixing roller 12 is brought into pressurized contact with the surface of the endless type film 11 to fix the image.
