Abstract
In an electrophotographic printer using a continuous-form sheet as a recording medium, there is provided a sheet separating mechanism comprising an elastic member arranged to be deformed by the continuous-form sheet, that is pressed by a transferring charger, when the transferring charger is located at an operating position and a transferring operation is to be executed, or to be released from the deformation when the transferring charger is retracted from the operating position. Thus, the continuous-form sheet is definitely separated from a photoconductive material by the elastic member as it is released from the deformation, when the transferring operation is not to be executed.
