Abstract
A reproducing machine in which a liquid image including a liquid carrier having pigmented particles dispersed therein is transferred to a sheet of support material. In the operative mode, when the sheet of support material having the liquid image thereon is present, a fuser applies heat thereto to remove liquid carrier therefrom so as to dry the sheet of support material, and fuse the pigmented particles thereto in image configuration. In the standby mode, when the sheet of support material is not present, the fuser still generates heat. The liquid carrier removed from the sheet of support material by the fuser is collected in a condenser. Air flowing from the condenser passes through a filter to remove residual liquid carrier therefrom, in the standby mode, heated air from the fuser is directed to the filter to regenerate the filter.
