Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A recording-material cooling device includes a first cooling member, a second cooling member, an approach-and-separation member, and a positioning member. The first cooling member is disposed at a first face side of a recording material to absorb heat of the recording material. The second cooling member is disposed at a second face side of the recording material to absorb heat of the recording material. The approach-and-separation member brings the first cooling member and the second cooling member close to and away from each other. The positioning member positions the first cooling member and the second cooling member relatively brought close to each other by the approach-and-separation member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a first conveyor including a first belt; a second conveyor including a second belt to press against and convey a recording medium with the first belt; a rail to guide the first conveyor in a horizontal direction; and a cooler including a plate to absorb heat from the recording medium, and a metal pipe to flow a liquid coolant to the plate, to cool the recording medium, the plate disposed within a loop of the firs…
