Apparatus to remove the copy sheet from the photoconductive surface of a xerographic machine following transfer of the image thereto. The apparatus consists of a pressure manifold having at least one discharge orifice directed toward a separation point on the photoconductive surface downstream of the transfer station, a source of pressure air, a valve to regulate the admission of pressure air to the manifold, and control means to actuate the valve as the leading edge of the copy sheet approaches the separation point. To obtain accurate response, a photocell type sheet detector is used to detect the leading edge of the copy sheet.
