PICK OFF MEANS FOR AN ELECTROSTATIC REPRODUCTION DEVICE

摘要

An electrophotographic apparatus of the type having a photoconductor section supported around a portion of an imaging drum periphery is provided with a recess adjacent the leading edge of the photoconductive section. Copy sheets are fed into transfer contact with the section with a leading portion extending over the recess and a deflector is moved into and out of the recess to pick off the copy sheet. Alternative separating structure is provided to urge the copy sheet away from the pickoff member to avoid damage to the copy sheet image.
