ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus such as an electrophotographic printer forms an image on paper fed from a continuous paper supply in a first direction. A photosensitive drum carries a toner image and a transfer guide selectively moves the paper between a first position in which the paper contacts the drum and a second position in which the paper is separated from the drum. A tractor and a scuff roller are provided downstream of the transfer guide, relatively to the feed direction of the paper. A controller controls the tractor and the scuff roller so as to produce a relative velocity difference therebetween during an operation in which the paper, as fed from the continuous paper supply, is moved by the transfer guide.
