Recording paper transport mechanism

摘要

In an imaging device employing an electrophotographic process, the arrangement having a guide member located in a recording paper feed path extending from a transfer unit to a fixing unit to cause the recording paper to be conveyed along the guide member in a predetermined direction under the control of an electrostatic power. Alternately, the imaging device has guide members for restricting the up and down displacement of the side edge of one lateral side of a recording paper feed path extending from the transfer unit to the fixing unit. The guide members are spaced from each other to allow the recording paper to pass through the space to restrict the up and down displacement of the lateral edge of the recording paper. Thus, the recording paper is held and guided in its feed direction to be brought into the fixing unit.
