Embodiment Construction

[0032] In the figures, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. Two exemplary embodiments of reflector assemblies for use in devices according to the invention are first described. Note that this reflector assembly can also be applied in any other type of heating device, ie, a heating device not used in the fixing method according to the present invention.

[0033] Figure 1AA cross-section of a reflector assembly comprising a first reflector segment 1A, a second reflector segment 2A and a third reflector segment 3A is shown.

[0034] The first reflector section 1A is elliptical and can be considered as part of a first virtual ellipse 1B having a first focus 4 and a second focus 6 . The distance between the first focal point 4 and the second focal point is referred to as the first ellipse axis from here onwards, and is indicated by reference numeral 1C, the shortest distance between the first focal point 4 and the first virtual ellipse 1A is represented by the ...

Abstract

In a method for fusing a recording material on a medium, a fusing element is radiated close to and upstream from a fuse nip. Thus, the heat that is provided has very little time to penetrate the fusing element and thus remains at a surface of the fusing element. Therefore, the fusing element does not need to be heated thoroughly, which would require a substantial amount of time. Consequently, in the method, heat may be provided on demand and an energy efficient fuse method is thus provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for fixing a recording material such as toner or ink on a recording medium such as paper or the like. Background technique [0002] In order to fix a recording material on a medium, several methods are known. Generally, the recording material and the medium are heated with heat, so that the recording material is softened so that the recording material can become attached to the medium. To provide heat, it is known to generate heat radiation by suitable devices, such as lamps. Further, it is known to employ reflector assemblies in order to provide the thermal radiation generated by the lamp equally to the recording material and the medium. An example reflector assembly is known from French patent FR 1.492.748. [0003] In one embodiment disclosed in the aforementioned patent, the reflector assembly comprises two curvilinear reflector sections, preferably elliptical. The two elliptical reflector...
