A paper guide which does not make stripes on an image on a printing paper. The
paper guide of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a guiding
member for guiding the printing paper into a fusing unit, a plurality of guiding
ribs formed on the guiding member to prevent direct contact of the printing paper
with the guiding member, and a blocking bar formed on a leading end near the fusing
unit of the guiding member in order that the spaces between the plurality of guiding
ribs are blocked from the fusing unit. The blocking bar is formed at the same height
as the guiding ribs and has a triangular section with a slope steeper than the
section of the guiding ribs.
