Abstract

Guide apparatus is provided for guiding paper from an image toner station to a pair of pressing rolls of a fixing station of a photocopying machine. The pressing rolls are arranged at a slight angle to the transport direction of the paper. In order to provide for simultaneous introduction of the paper across its width to the pressing rolls, the guide apparatus is so configured that the paper has different travel lengths across its width on its travel path between the toner station and the nip of the pressing rolls.
