Abstract
A receiving sheet having a loose toner image on a surface of the sheet is transported from an image member to a fuser by continuing movement of the image member. To prevent disruption of the loose toner image and to accommodate any difference in speeds of the image member and the fuser, air is directed on the image side of the receiving sheet to force the receiving sheet against a curved guide positioned behind the receiving sheet.
