Abstract
A stripper finger mechanism is provided for separating record sheets from the surface of a roll member. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of flexible stripper fingers are arranged so that the finger ends are angled against a fuser roller surface to effect initial separation of a fused copy sheet. The fingers have generally centrally located raised edges to provide a gradually sloping rigid support which lifts the fused copy sheet following initial separation.
