Abstract:
An image forming apparatus fixes a toner image on a transfer material at a fixing portion by applying an AC voltage from an AC power source to a fixing unit and includes a conductive pre-transfer guide on a position at which the transfer material nipped by a transfer portion and the fixing portion is in contact therewith. A capacitor and a Zener diode which is connected to the capacitor in parallel and maintains the pre-transfer guide at a predetermined voltage in a state in which a toner image is transferred to the transfer material nipped by the fixing portion and the transfer portion are arranged between the pre-transfer guide and the ground.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein capacitance of the capacitor is 500 pF or more and 3300 pF or less.
