Abstract
This invention is a transfer means in a electrographic printing apparatus having a charge retaining member with a relatively high background potential of a first polarity, a transfer corotron having a relatively high potential of a second polarity and providing a transfer region for a transfer of toner to copy sheets, and a pretransfer baffle disposed adjacent to the transfer corotron, the pretransfer baffle being charged to a potential approximately the same as the charged retaining member and having said first polarity, the pretransfer baffle and the charge retaining member forming a gap for the passage of copy sheets to the transfer region, and the copy sheet being in contact with the charge retaining member before reaching the transfer region.
