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 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 5 ,\n further comprising a guide member which is arranged on an upstream side than the transfer portion in the conveyance direction of the transfer material and is configured to guide the transfer material to the transfer portion by being contact with the transfer material; and a resistance element connected between the guide member and the ground.
