PURPOSE:To prevent a transfer recording material from sagging or jamming in the vicinity of a platen and form images free of stagger of transfer position, by a method wherein the minimum gap between a guide member and a platen is set to be larger than the thickness of a transfer recording material, and the recording material is led between the platen and a transfer material under this condition. CONSTITUTION:In a transferring operation, a solenoid 66 is excited to separate a pinch roller 20 from the surface of the platen 10 until the leading end of a paper fed in the state of being wound around the platen 10 reaches a position between the platen 10 and the roller 20. When the paper P is located between the roller 20 and the platen 10, the solenoid 66 is deenergized to press the roller 20 against the surface of the platen 10 to clamp the paper P between the roller 20 and the platen 10, thereby feeding the paper P. The pinch rollers 19, 20 are so disposed as to press the paper P against the platen 10 in the direction substantially per- pendicular to the moving direction of the paper P being fed in the state of being wound around the platen 10. Accordingly, a leading end part of the paper can be prevented from being bent. |
