In the transfer process of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, the electrostatic force causes the paper jam, especially in a thin paper. Therefore it is necessary to understand paper deformation by generated electrostatic force. We are researching to understand the mechanisms of electrostatic force generated on a paper. We observe that the attraction on the thin paper is generated by electrostatic force. And the numerical simulation tool have been developed in order to analyze paper attraction by electrostatic force. Calculation of paper deformation by electrostatic force in each paper thickness is carried out with this numerical simulation. The simulation results show qualitatively agreement with the experimental results
