Slits 16 and 17 are formed in side faces of the suction box 12. The conveyance belt 8 comes in and out of the suction box 12 via the slits 16 and 17. A turbofan 11 is set at a position where a return travel face 8b of the conveyance belt 8 is held between the platen rollers 9 and the turbofan in the suction box 12.
