发明名称 IMAGE-FORMING DEVICE
摘要 The image-forming device includes an image-forming unit, a fixing unit, a pair of first guides, and a pair of second guides. The recording sheet defines a width in a direction perpendicular to a sheet conveying direction. The image-forming unit forms a developing agent image on the recording sheet. The fixing unit includes a heating and a pressure roller. The heating roller heats the recording sheet discharged from the image-forming unit. The pressure roller presses the recording sheet against the heating roller. The heating roller and the pressure roller provide a nip point where the recording sheet is nipped therebetween. The nip point is offset in a thickness direction of the recording sheet from a plane along which the recording sheet is discharged from the image-forming unit. A sheet conveying path is provided from the image-forming unit to the fixing unit. The pair of first guides dispose on the conveying path and configure to contact with an image-forming side of the recording sheet at both widthwise edges thereof, for restraining the recording sheet from being displaced toward the image-forming side. The pair of second guides dispose on the conveying path and configure to contact with the image-forming side of the recording sheet at both widthwise edges thereof for restraining the recording sheet from being displaced toward the image-forming side, a distance between the pair of first guides in the widthwise direction being greater than a distance between the pair of second guides in the widthwise direction, and the pair of second guides being offset from the pair of first guides in the sheet conveying direction.
