ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an image recording apparatus which directly controls a flow of charged toner particles by a toner particle control electrode and records an image on an image recording medium. The image recording apparatus has a toner particle supply portion for supplying toner particles charged with a first polarity and a toner particle control electrode for controlling the toner particles supplied by the toner particle supply portion according to an image to be recorded. An intermediate recording medium attracts toner particles controlled by the toner particle control portion and a toner image is formed on the intermediate medium. A transferring station transfers the toner image formed on the intermediate recording medium to an image recording medium. A thermal fixing station fixes the toner image which is transferred to the image recording medium by the transferring station, on the image recording medium. Transfer and fixing of the toner image to the image recording medium may occur by use of a heated pressing roll. Images can be recorded on relatively thick recording media by this apparatus.
