Abstract

The present invention provides an image forming apparatus, supplied from a commercial power supply and including a fuel cell, comprising: a fuel producing device for the fuel cell, in which the fuel producing device produces fuel for the fuel cell making use of the commercial power supply. This image forming apparatus needs little consumption of energy during periods of standby and does not need refueling even though it includes a fuel cell. Further, efficient use of commercial power supply makes it possible to shorten the time for temperature rise of the fixing unit without the necessity of increasing the wattage of the commercial power supply and avoid insufficient power supply even upon high-speed high-volume printing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming device and a portrait forming method using the same. In particular, an image forming apparatus such as a copier, a printer, a facsimile, etc. capable of using a limited small equipment commercial power source in an energy saving mode, and an image forming method using these apparatuses. Background technique [0002] Recently, an image forming apparatus equipped with a fuel cell using hydrogen and air has been proposed as a proposal to supply the electric energy generated by the fuel cell to the driving section and the control section of the image forming apparatus, and to use the thermal energy generated by the fuel cell for A plan for heating the heating part of the fixing device. (Refer to JP-A-2003-270980.) [0003] In general, image forming equipment such as copiers, printers, facsimiles, etc. are equipped with a photoreceptor, a drive unit such as a developing roller, a control unit thereof, and ...
