ABSTRACT:
In an electrophotographic/electrostatic recording apparatus especially for high speed recording, a toner image on a recording sheet is fused thereon by a flash lamp in a fixing unit, and smoke is generated thereby. Smoke and toner dust in the ambient air should be removed before it is exhausted out of the apparatus by drawing the air through an air filter. The invention discloses that is it effective to use an air filter structure comprising a plurality of filter units, wherein a first filter unit made of electrostatically charged fibrous material is utilized at the inlet side of the air filter. The first filter unit has a comparatively greater porosity and attracts and removes toner particles charged with the opposite polarity to that of the electrostatically charged fibrous material. Therefore, the air, a substantial part of toner dust being removed therefrom, can more easily enter into the following filter units for removal of smoke, resulting in increased endurance of the air filter.
