Abstract
A printer for electrophotographically forming an image on a continuous-form recording paper. The printer has a transfer unit and a pair of heat fixing rollers which are brought into a withdrawn state, in a print stand-by state. Thus, the recording paper is out of contact with a photoconductive drum and a heat roll when the transfer unit and heat fixing rollers are in their withdrawn state. A pair of dust removing brushs are also brought into a withdrawn state in the print stand-by state so as to be out of contact with the recording paper.
