<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer material separating device that can efficiently and more reliably separate a transfer material by means of gas. <P>SOLUTION: The transfer material separating device is equipped with a transfer material separating air device 20 for separating a front end of a transfer material 8 being moved with a transfer material moving member (intermediate transfer belt 4) from the transfer material moving member by blowing gas to the front end of the transfer material 8, and a control section for controlling operation of the transfer material separating air device 20 based on transfer material moving circumstances of the transfer material 8. The transfer material separating air device 20 includes a first gas current duct 23a, a second gas current duct 23b, and a third gas current duct 23c. The first gas current duct 23a is arranged at a central part of the transfer material in a direction orthogonal to a transfer material 8 conveying direction on a plane of the transfer material. The second and third gas current ducts 23b and 23c are arranged adjacent to the first gas current duct 23a at the opposite side thereto in the direction orthogonal to the transfer material 8 conveying direction on the plane of the transfer material 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
