Abstract:
A moving member is disposed between an upper guide, which guides a conveyed transfer material and to which a voltage is applied from a power source, and a lower guide, which guides the conveyed transfer material, the upper guide being disposed on an upstream side with respect to a photosensitive drum in a conveyance direction of the transfer material. The moving member is supported by the upper guide, and is capable of abutting against and separating from the lower guide. By being pushed by the transfer material, the moving member transitions from a first state in which the moving member is abutted against the lower guide to a second state in which the moving member is separated from the lower guide.
