Abstract
A detachably engaged unit is provided for association with a copying machine wherein the unit contains a housing which is detachably connected through a power coupling to the copying machine. The unit includes a support arrangement for supporting a sheet of paper having an image thereon in charge relief, a conveying arrangement for transferring the sheet of paper containing the image thereon to a station where chargeable powder is transferred to the charged surface, and a pressing arrangement spaced rearwardly therefrom for fixing the image on the paper under pressure. The unit makes it possible to readily detach the support arrangement, the powder applying arrangement and the pressing arrangement from the copying machine for repair, replacement or service.
