Abstract
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.
