ABSTRACT:
In an image-forming device including a photosensitive drum, a transfer roller, and a guide plate for guiding a recording sheet toward the photosensitive drum, a sponge is disposed between the guide plate and a transfer position where a developer image on the photosensitive drum is transferred to the recording sheet. The sponge can receive the trailing edge of the paper leaving the guide plate to suppress flapping of the trailing edge.
