A cleaning device includes at least one first cleaning member that removes residual substances that remain on a surface of an endless belt by being in contact with the surface of the endless belt while rotating in a direction that is opposite to a movement direction in which the endless belt moves; a second cleaning member that is brought into contact with and separated from the surface of the endless belt at a predetermined timing and removes the residual substances that remain on the surface of the endless belt; and a switching unit that switches a rotation direction of the first cleaning member to a direction the same as the movement direction of the endless belt when the second cleaning member is brought into contact with the surface of the endless belt and cleans the surface.

A cleaning device includes a first cleaning member, a first opposing member, a second cleaning member, a second opposing member, and a pressing member. The first and second cleaning members clean an outer surface of a belt member by coming into contact with the outer surface. The first and second opposing members are in contact with an inner face of the belt member at positions that are opposite the first and second cleaning members. The pressing member is disposed between the first and second opposing members and is in contact with the outer surface of the belt member. The pressing member presses a portion of the belt member that is located between the first and second opposing members from an outer surface side of the belt member toward an inner face side of the belt member.

A lens driving device is provided to reduce a number of required high-accuracy components and also eliminate the unevenness of maximum displacement of a lens holder with respect to a base. An outer edge of a lower spring plate is clamped by a lower casing served as a base and a lower spacer. A first protrusion is formed on a sidewall of the lens holder and protruding outward therefrom. A second protrusion protruding toward the lens holder is formed on an inner circumference of the lower spacer and extends to a position above and separating from the first protrusion by a distance S. The first protrusion props against the second protrusion when the lens holder is moved toward an imaged-object side and reaching a displacement of the distance S.

An image forming apparatus includes: an endless intermediate transferring belt to which a toner image is transferred; a reference position marking member that is formed on a surface of the intermediate transferring belt, and that shows a reference position in a circumferential direction of the intermediate transferring belt; a detecting unit that detects the reference position marking member; and a control unit that controls the intermediate transferring belt to stop at a position where the reference position marking member is exposed to outside in a case where an outer cover is opened.

An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers arranged side by side along the outer surface of a conveying portion of a transfer belt. The transfer belt is stretched between a first upstream roller and a second downstream roller. An image forming medium is conveyed on the belt so as to have multiple color images transferred thereto. The transfer belt has a swing lever so as to move the belt between a horizontal full color position and an inclined monochrome position. A stationary support roller which is arranged within the transfer belt and at a position nearer to the second downstream roller maintains a position of the image forming medium constant even when a monochrome image is being transferred. In addition, an electrostatic attraction roller located outside the transfer belt is arranged at a specific angle relative to the first roller to assist in the attraction of the image forming medium to the transfer belt.

A magnetic toner which is excellent in the low temperature fixability and the anti-offset properties is disclosed. The binder resin of the toner comprises a non-crosslinked styrene polymer, a non-crosslinked styrene copolymer or a mixture of these, and a polyolefin, wherein; the binder resin has, in its molecular weight distribution pattern measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), at least one maximal point (peak) in each region of a low molecular weight of from 5,000 to 20,000 and of a high molecular weight of from 200,00 to 1,000,000, where a height H1 of a maximum peak in the low molecular weight region, a height H3 of a maximum peak in the high molecular weight region and a height H2 of a minimal point between both of said peaks satisfy the relationship H1:H2:H3 of 3-25:1:1.5-12; and has a weight average molecular weight Mw and a number average molecular weight Mn in a value Mw/Mn of from 15 to 80.

A guanidine type compound has the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.8 are each a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an amino group, an alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and R.sup.1 to R.sup.8 may be the same as or different from each other and together may form a ring with the adjacent substituents; X is a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group or an alkoxy group; and m and n are each an integer having a value of 1 to 8. The guanidine compound is employed in a toner for electrostatic development and the toner can be used in an electrophotographic apparatus including a facsimile apparatus for receiving image information from an electrophotographic copier.

A cleaning device includes first to third cleaning members that clean a surface of an endless belt that is looped over rollers including a driving roller. The first cleaning member is brought into contact with and separated from the surface at a predetermined timing. The second cleaning member is disposed upstream of the first cleaning member and downstream of the driving roller in a movement direction of the endless belt. The second cleaning member is in contact with the endless belt so as to prevent a tension variation of the endless belt caused by the first cleaning member from affecting the driving roller. The third cleaning member is disposed downstream of the first cleaning member. A contact state in which the third cleaning member is in contact with the endless belt is switched from a first contact state to a second contact state so as to reduce the tension variation.
