Abstract
An image fixing device supplies transparent resin particles over an output imaging surface of an image recording medium. The resin particles are electrostatically attracted onto the image recording medium, and are fused for providing the transparent protective resin layer. The device includes a device for mounting the recording medium with the imaging surface facing outwardly (transfer drum), a device for accumulating a material of the resin layer, a device for supplying the material on the accumulating device toward the imaging surface, the supplying device being positioned in the accumulating device and a device for applying the material onto the imaging surface, the applying device being positioned between the supplying device and mounting device.
