Abstract
The electrophotographic recording device and method of transferring the recorded medium provide excellent separating capabilities. The electrophotographic recording device has a separator section located along a feed path of printing paper at a front stage of the transfer roller. At the separator section, the printing paper is dielectrically polarized to make its surface facing a photosensitive drum charged in the same polarity as that of the photosensitive drum before the printing paper is brought into contact with the photosensitive drum. The paper is separated from the photosensitive drum after the transfer process due to the electrostatic repulsion on a contact surface between the photosensitive drum and the paper.
