Abstract:
1. A recording material charging apparatus comprising: a pre-transcription charging section arranged between a transcribing section that transcribes a toner image retained by a toner image retaining body on a recording material having concavity and convexity and a conveying section that conveys the recording material to the transcribing section and is arranged closest to the transcribing section, the pre-transcription charging section charging the recording material that is to be conveyed to the transcribing section; a voltage supplying section that supplies voltage of a polarity opposite to a charging polarity of the toner image retained in the toner image retaining body to the pre-transcription charging section; and a pre-transcription heating section that heats the recording material to be conveyed to the transcribing section, the pre-transcription heating section being arranged between the transcribing section and the conveying section (i) at a position opposed to the pre-transcription charging section or (ii) at a side of the conveying section rather than the pre-transcription charging section, wherein the pre-transcription charging section and the pre-transcription heating section are configured so as to be able to move between the transcribing section and the conveying section along a conveying direction of the recording material.
