<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of successively stacking recording media discharged by eliminating cylindrical curls of the recording media on a discharge part. <P>SOLUTION: A flapper 49 is arranged in a paper discharge path 46. When both ends 3D of paper 3 are curved (the paper 3 is cylindrically curled), the flapper 49 abuts on both the ends 3D from curved sides of both the ends 3D. By this abutment, the curves of both the ends 3D (the cylindrical curls of the paper 3) can be eliminated. According to degrees of the curves of both the ends 3D, an abutting load of the flapper 49 on both the ends 3D is changed. The cylindrical curls of the paper 3 therefore can be properly eliminated according to the degrees. By changing the abutting load, the paper 3 can be successively curved (positively curled) from a downstream side in a conveying direction. By positively curling the cylindrically curled paper 3, the cylindrical curls can be naturally eliminated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
