Abstract
A conveying guide for conveying a sheet onto which an image has been transferred is made of a synthetic resin having a resistance higher than the resistance of the transfer sheet. The upstream side end of the upper surface of the conveying guide is located sufficiently lower than the position at which the sheet is separated from the surface of the photoreceptor drum. With these arrangements, the charging of the conveying guide due to the friction between the sheet and the guide is prevented, thereby restraining the image quality deterioration.
