Apparatus for separating sheets from a belt driven photosensitive surface in which a pair of rollers are disposed on opposite sides of the photosensitive surface downstream of the transfer paper feed point. One of the rollers is movable from a position spaced from the photosensitive surface to a position in which it contacts the sheet carried by the photosensitive surface and cooperates with the other roller to separate the sheet from the photosensitive surface. A sensor is provided to detect the absence of a sheet and to prevent the movable roller from contacting the photosensitive surface in the absence of a transfer sheet.
