Abstract
In a recording apparatus, a recording paper is separated from an image retaining member after the transfer of a toner image onto the recording paper by generating an a.c. corona discharge so as to eliminate or reduce electrostatic forces generated between the image retaining member and the recording paper. An insulator is arranged between the separating electrode and the recording paper during the a.c. corona discharge so as to moderate the sharpness of the spatial distribution of the corona discharge current.
