Abstract
A fixed material transportation surface of the fixed material transportation apparatus is formed inclining so as to become higher toward a downstream side from an upstream side of transportation direction of the fixed material, and is transported while sucking the fixed material supplied on the fixed material transportation surface. Thus, since the cockling is drawn when the fixed material is transported while being raised to transportation direction on the fixed material transportation surface even if cockling extending to transportation direction generates on the fixed material after fixing, growth of the cockling can be prevented.
