Abstract: A recording sheet has an unfixed toner image that is formed thereon, and is conveyed to a fixing device. A surface reforming device of the fixing device performs surface reformation for the surface of the toner on the recording sheet by, for example, plasma irradiation or the like, thereby generating a polar group of a hydrophilic property on the surface of the toner. Next, the recording sheet is conveyed to a laser irradiation portion by a recording sheet conveyance device to be irradiated with a laser, in which the toner is fused to be fixed to the recording sheet. The toner on the recording sheet is subjected to surface reforming treatment, thus having increased affinity (adhesion force) with the recording sheet, so that it is possible to secure favorable fixability without pressing.

Abstract translation: 记录纸具有形成在其上的未定影调色剂图像，并被输送到定影装置。 定影装置的表面改性装置通过例如等离子体照射等对记录片材上的调色剂的表面进行表面改性，从而在调色剂的表面上产生亲水性的极性基团。 接下来，记录纸通过记录纸张传送装置被传送到激光照射部分，以用激光照射，其中调色剂被熔化以固定到记录片材。 对记录片材上的调色剂进行表面重整处理，因此与记录片材的亲和力（粘附力）增加，从而可以确保良好的定影性而不需要按压。
