Abstract
Abstract In a recording apparatus which prints desired symbols on a record receiving member with heat ray absorbing colored material, a heat ray source is provided for heating a printed surface. A roller assembly including a roller impregnated with luster is disposed in such a manner that the printed and heated surface is brought into contact with the impregnated roller. The printed symbols are glossed by the luster since the printed symbols are pre-heated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
In a recording apparatus which prints desired symbols on a record receiving member through the use of preferably colored heat ray absorbing material, the improvement comprising: a heat ray source for heating the record receiving member carrying the printed symbols thereon; a roller impregnated with luster; and means for depressing said roller to the record receiving member carrying the heated, printed symbols thereon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
In a recording apparatus which prints desired symbols on a record receiving member through the use of preferably colored heat ray absorbing material, the improvement comprising: a heat ray source for heating the record receiving member carrying the printed symbols thereon; a roller impregnated with luster; and means for depressing said roller to the record receiving member carrying the heated, printed symbols thereon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The recording apparatus of claim 1, wherein the record receiving member is a white paper and the symbols are printed with black colored ink.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The recording apparatus of claim 1, wherein the record receiving member is driven to travel along a predetermined course, and the heat ray source is an infrared ray source positioned above the travelling record receiving member carrying the printed symbols thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The recording apparatus of claim 1, wherein the record receiving member is driven to travel along a predetermined course, and said roller is positioned downstream from the heat ray source along the travelling record receiving member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
134 words
In an ink jet system printer which emits charged ink droplets from a nozzle toward a record receiving member, deflects said charged ink droplets and deposits said deflected ink droplets on the record receiving member to print desired symbols on said record receiving member, the improvement comprising: means for driving said record receiving member to travel along a predetermined course; a heat ray source for heating the travelling record receiving member carrying the printed symbols thereon; and a roller assembly through which the heated record receiving member carrying the printed symbols is driven to travel, said roller assembly including a first roller confronting the printed surface of said travelling record receiving member, said first roller being impregnated with luster, and a counter roller for depressing said travelling record receiving member against said first roller.
