Abstract
An image-recording apparatus. In a housing of the apparatus are a casing section that encases a light and heat sensitive recording material, an optical recording section that exposes the light and heat sensitive recording material fed from the casing section to record a latent image, a thermal developing section that develops the latent image by heating, an optical fixing section that fixes the developed image by irradiating it with light, and an outlet through which the image-recorded material is taken out.
Claims16
An image-recording apparatus comprising:
- a casing section which encases a light and heat sensitive recording material;
- an optical recording section, downstream of the casing section, which exposes the light and heat sensitive recording material, which has been fed from the casing section, for recording a latent image;
- a thermal developing section, downstream of the optical recording section, which develops the latent image by heating;
- and
- an optical fixing section, downstream of the thermal developing section, which irradiates light for fixing a developed image.

An image-recording apparatus comprising:
- a casing section which encases light and heat sensitive recording material;
- an optical recording section, downstream of the casing section, which exposes, using at least a short wavelength light source that has an intensity maximum in a wavelength range of 300 to 450 nm, the light and heat sensitive recording material, which has been fed from the casing section, for recording a latent image;
- a thermal developing section, downsteam of the optical recording section, which develops the latent image by heating;
- and
- an optical fixing section, downstream of the thermal developing section, which irradiated light for fixing a developed image.
