Multi-functional electrographic printer device

A laser printing system for multi-color and verso printing is formed of a plurality of units arranged in series which are simultaneously operated. A recording medium emerging from a paper exit region of a preceding unit is supplied to a paper entry region of the following unit. A switchable deflection means for the paper web is disposed in at least one of or between the units. The individual units can thus be constructed of individual fixing modules and printer modules which can be combined with one another. At least one fixing module follows a plurality of printer modules.

Laser printing system with a solvent vapor fixing station and adaptable

A solvent vapor toner image fixing device for use with electrostatic devices is disclosed. The fixing device includes a fixing station having a well-shaped recepticle through which the paper web or the like is guided in a loop shaped manner. At the bottom of the recepticle a solvent vapor producing zone is provided through which the paper is passed. After leaving the solvent vapor fixing zone, the paper is guided out of the recepticle around a deflection cylinder. The solvent vapor zone is limited by cooling coils positioned above the fixing zone. The deflection mechanism for looping the paper through the recepticle is removable from the recepticle to allow ease of installation of the paper.
