Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a print engine, a gloss treatment device, a medium conveying device, and a processor. The print engine is to form an image on a print medium. The gloss treatment device is to perform a gloss treatment on the print medium on which an image is formed. The medium conveying device to provide the print medium to the print engine and selectively provide the print medium on which an image is formed to the gloss treatment device. The processor is to control the print engine to form an image based on print data and control the medium conveying device to selectively provide the print medium to the gloss treatment device depending on whether a gloss treatment option is set in the print data.

Abstract: An example image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit to form a toner image on a print medium by using an electrophotographic method, a fixing unit to fix the toner image to the print medium by heat and pressure, a photo finishing unit to apply heat and pressure to the print medium after fixing and to cool the print medium, and a clear toner application unit located on an upstream side of the photo finishing unit with respect to a transporting direction of the print medium to apply 0.3 mg/cm2 or more of a clear toner to the print medium.

Abstract: A fusing device and an image forming apparatus having the same are provided. The fusing device includes a position regulating device to regulate a position of a side frame which rotatably supports a fusing belt, thereby fixing a position of a fusing nip defined between the fusing belt, inside of which a heat source is placed, and a pressure roller arranged to face the fusing belt. The fusing device prevents shift of a recording medium delivery path due to deformation of the pressure roller.

Abstract: A fusing unit and an image forming apparatus, the fusing unit includes: a fusing frame which is grounded to the image forming apparatus when mounted in the image forming apparatus; a heating member which includes a release layer contacting the print medium and a heat transfer layer provided within the release layer, grounded to the fusing frame, and transfers heat from a heat source provided therein to a print medium passing a predetermined fusing nip; a supporting member which rotatably supports the heating member; a pressure roller, forms the fusing nip between the pressure roller and the heating member, presses the print medium passing the fusing nip and includes a conductive material; and a discharging member includes an end part which contacts the print medium passing the fusing nip, and discharges static electricity from the print medium.
