Abstract
A sheet member conveying device is equipped with an endless sheet member conveyor belt composed of a semiconductor material and an electrical charging device which electrically charges the sheet member conveyor belt in order to transfer a toner image formed on the surface of a rotary drum onto a sheet member at a toner image transfer position. The sheet member conveyor belt is put around a plurality of rollers and moves from the toner image transfer position toward a sheet member peeling position. A grounding device is provided between the toner image transfer position and the sheet member peeling position along the sheet member conveyor belt in order to decrease the surface potential which is due to the charge of the sheet member conveyor belt.
