Claims

A visible image forming means for forming a visible image on the image carrier using a visible image forming substance, and a transfer material by a conveying member so as to pass through a transfer position facing the image carrier in contact with the image carrier. A transfer conveying means for transferring the visible image on the image carrier to the transfer material by holding and conveying, a first guide member for receiving and guiding the transfer material separated from the conveying member of the transfer conveying means, An image forming apparatus comprising: a second guide member that receives and guides the transfer material guided by the first guide member;
The guide surface of the second guide member is formed so that the transfer material is guided toward the upper side in the vertical direction as it goes downstream in the transfer material guide direction,
The downstream end of the guide surface of the first guide member in the transfer material guide direction in the vertical direction is such that the front end of the transfer material guided by the first guide member reaches the guide surface of the second guide member. The guide surface of the second guide member is at a position higher than the upstream end in the transfer material guide direction,
The height difference in the vertical direction of the downstream end in the transfer material guide direction of the guide surface of the first guide member with respect to the upstream end in the transfer material guide direction of the guide surface of the second guide member is 0.5 mm or more and 1 mm or less. An image forming apparatus.

A visible image forming means for forming a visible image on the image carrier using a visible image forming substance, and a transfer material by a conveying member so as to pass through a transfer position facing the image carrier in contact with the image carrier. A transfer conveying means for transferring the visible image on the image carrier to the transfer material by holding and conveying, a first guide member for receiving and guiding the transfer material separated from the conveying member of the transfer conveying means, An image forming apparatus comprising: a second guide member that receives and guides the transfer material guided by the first guide member ;
The guide surface of the upper Symbol second guide member, the transfer material is formed so as to be guided toward the upper side in the vertical direction as going to the transfer material guide downstream side,
As the leading edge of the transfer material is guided above Symbol first guide member reaches the guide surface of the second guide member, the transfer medium guiding direction downstream end of the guide surface of the first guide member, in the vertical direction The guide surface of the second guide member is at the same position as the upstream end of the transfer material guide direction or at a position higher than the upstream end,
The first guide member and the first guide member are arranged such that a difference in vertical direction between a guide surface of the first guide member and a downstream end of the transfer material guide direction with respect to an upstream end of the guide surface of the second guide member is changed. 2. An image forming apparatus comprising: a driving unit that drives at least one of the two guide members; and a control unit that controls the driving unit so as to change the height difference according to the type of the transfer material .

The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 ,
The end of the guide surface of the first guide member on the downstream side in the transfer material guiding direction has a radius of curvature that does not cause discharge between the transfer material guided on the end and the end. An image forming apparatus formed.
