Abstract
A separator includes a base and a sheet. The base includes a first face to face a medium, a second face being opposite to the first face, and a third face being an end face in a longitudinal direction of the base. The sheet is disposed on a portion of each of the first and second faces that contacts or is adjacent to a rotator. The sheet has a length in a longitudinal direction thereof substantially equal to a length of the base in the longitudinal direction thereof. The sheet includes a projecting portion outboard from the length of the sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof. A combined length of the sheet and the projecting portion in the longitudinal direction of the sheet is greater than the length of the base in the longitudinal direction thereof. The projecting portion is attached to the second and third faces of the base.
