PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate dead time for the release of a pressure applied state by providing a pressure means formed of a rotatable cylinder so as to come in pressure contact with a lead-out roller, and conveying transfer paper to be refed while keeping stored transfer paper in the pressure applied state. SOLUTION: Transfer paper subjected to image formation on one face in an image forming part is inserted into an intermediate tray device 10 along an insert guide 11 from a direction of an arrow mark (a). The transfer paper is then conveyed to a separating stopper 3a by the driving of a drawing roller 1a. A lead-out roller 5 and a pressure roller 6a which is a pressure means 6 are provided between the drawing roller 1a and the separating stopper 3. Added weight with the own weight of a pressure arm 8 added by the pressure roller 6a is applied to the lead-out roller 5. The pressure roller 6a is of rotatable cylindrical shape and is journalled by the tip part of the pressure arm 8 so as to be rotatable in the conveyed direction of the transfer paper. The pressure roller 6a does not therefore become load at the time of the transfer paper proceeding toward the separating stopper 3a. |
