<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device for preventing the degradation of imaging quality resulting from cutting burrs of a recording medium. <P>SOLUTION: With the recording medium being carried, a toner image formed on an image carrier is transferred to the recording medium and the recording medium after transferring the image is put into a belt fixing device 24, where the non-fixed toner image on the recording medium is fixed to the recording medium. In this way, the image forming device comprises a smoothing device provided in a carrying passage P for the recording medium, which uses a smoothing member for thrusting the recording medium at its front end to push and smooth the cutting burrs. Desirably, the smoothing member is formed in a roller shape for repetitively thrusting the recording medium with its rotation and its peripheral face is in an uneven shape. It also desirable that the smoothing member is made of an elastic material. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
