The transfer unit includes a transfer member arranged to face the recording paper for passing a transfer current, a discharge member arranged downstream from the transfer member in the recording paper transport direction to face the recording paper for passing a discharge current for performing discharge of the recording paper, a first guide arranged upstream from the transfer member in the recording paper transport direction for guiding the recording paper, and a second guide arranged downstream from the first guide in the recording paper transport direction for guiding the recording paper. The second guide includes a contact portion located between the transfer member and the discharge member in the recording paper transport direction for contact with the recording paper. The contact portion is positioned adjacent an unshielding portion for exposing the discharge member relative to the recording paper.
