<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new constitution to secure carriage stability not to cause image turbulence at the time when a recording medium is carried along the side of a carrier guide plate even when an environmental condition and a condition of the used recording medium are changed. <P>SOLUTION: Both ends of a suction member 11 made of an electrically conductive member grounded on an image forming apparatus main body are mounted on the carrier guide plate 8 free to slide on an eccentric shaft 13a of a stepping motor 13 through a slot 15a of a supporting member 15. An upper surface of the suction member 11 reinforces carrying force by approaching an upper surface of the carrier guide plate 8 when electrifying quantity of the recording medium is not very large due to high temperature and high humidity and prevents electric discharge from the recording medium by separating from the suction member 11 on the contrary when the electrifying quantity becomes large due to low temperature and low humidity. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
