Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a movable separator to separate a recording medium from a feeding belt includes feeding structure for feeding an attached recording medium in a predetermined feeding direction. Image forming structure receives the recording medium from the feeding structure and forms images on the received recording medium. The separator is located on a downstream side of the image forming structure, and separates the attached recording medium from the feeding structure in a direction which is angled from the predetermined feeding direction. The separator moves to push the recording medium from a non-recording face thereof to a recording face thereof while the recording medium is stopped during intermittent feeding to cause even separation of the recording medium from the feeding structure.
