PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a contact stripping method for a substrate in order to avoid making air stripper equipment of a thermo-compression fusion bonding system higher in cost and more complicated. SOLUTION: An image receiving medium removing apparatus has a stripper finger structure 32 which separates the leading edge of an image receiving medium, such as plain paper, from a heated fuser roll 12 and a stripper baffle structure 34 which separates the portion of the image receiving medium beyond the image receiving medium, from the heated fuser roll 12. The structure 32 is supported movably between a home position or a standby position and an operation position and the tips of the fingers maintain contact with the fuser roll 12 at all times, thereby separating the leading edge of the medium from the fuser roll 12. The structure 34 is supported movably between the home position or the standby position and the operation position and separates the portion of the image receiving medium beyond the lead edge in the operation position.
