A parrying structure around sheet junction comprising:
- a first transporting guide that guides a sheet medium;
- a second transporting guide that guides the sheet medium toward the first transporting guide at a larger angle than a predetermined angle with respect to a direction where the sheet medium is guided by the first transporting guide;
- and
- a third transporting guide that changes a direction of a leading edge of the sheet medium and guides by the second transporting guide and moved to the first transporting guide, toward the first transporting guide.
A method to guide a sheet medium comprising:
- directing a sheet medium to a transporting guide at a larger angle than a predetermined angle with respect to a direction where the sheet medium is guided by a transporting guide;
- and
- guiding a leading edge of the sheet medium so that the leading edge of the sheet medium which moves toward the transporting guide may be along a direction where the sheet medium is guided by the transporting guide.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a transfer device that transfers an image formed by a visualizing agent on a sheet medium;
- a first transporting guide that guides the sheet medium to the transfer device;
- a second transporting guide that guides the sheet medium toward the first transporting guide at a larger angle than a predetermined angle with respect to a direction where the sheet medium is guided by the first transporting guide;
- and
- a third transporting guide that guides a leading edge of the sheet medium, which is guided by the second transporting guide and moved to the first transporting guide, toward the first transporting guide.
