Abstract:
An image recording apparatus includes a first unit, a second unit, and a fusing device for fusing and fixing a toner image on a sheet. The device has a heat roller; a pressure roller; and a contact member placed in contact with the heat roller. The first unit is movable, along a first direction, to be drawn out of the apparatus. With the first unit out of the apparatus, the second unit is movable, along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, to be drawn out of the first unit. The device is divided into a first and a second portions where the pressure and heat rollers and the member are respectively located. The first and second portions are supported on the first and second units, respectively. The second portion is detachable from the first portion when the second unit is drawn out from the first unit.
