Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers, an intermediate transfer belt, a plurality of transfer rollers, a print control portion, and a contact pressure control portion. The plurality of transfer rollers are provided in such a way as to be in contact with the intermediate transfer belt at positions respectively corresponding to the image carriers. The print control portion executes a print process in a first print mode or a second print mode that are set in advance. The contact pressure control portion, when the print process is executed in the first print mode, reduces a contact pressure of one or more transfer rollers that are, among the plurality of transfer rollers, disposed on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the intermediate transfer belt, to be lower than a contact pressure in the second print mode.

Abstract: An intermediate transfer unit includes an endless intermediate transfer belt to which a toner image is primarily transferred from an image carrying member, a driving roller that conveys the intermediate transfer belt with the primarily transferred toner image to a secondary transfer position for a sheet material, and a cleaning device which cleans a peripheral surface of the driving roller around which the intermediate transfer belt is wound.

Abstract: A developing device includes a storing portion, a stirring member, a developing roller, a shield plate, and a guide portion. The storing portion stores developer. The stirring member is rotatably provided in the storing portion and stirs the developer in the storing portion by being rotationally driven in a predetermined first rotation direction. The developing roller is rotatably provided above the stirring member, has a magnet that attracts the developer in the storing portion by a magnetic force, and is rotationally driven in a predetermined second rotation direction. The shield plate is made of a nonmagnetic material and provided at a facing position where the developing roller and the stirring member face each other. The guide portion is provided more on an upstream side in the first rotation direction than the facing position, and guides the developer from the storing portion to the developing roller side.

Abstract translation: 显影装置包括存储部分，搅拌部件，显影辊，屏蔽板和引导部分。 存储部存储显影剂。 搅拌构件可旋转地设置在存储部分中，并通过沿预定的第一旋转方向旋转驱动来搅动存储部分中的显影剂。 显影辊可旋转地设置在搅拌构件上方，具有通过磁力吸引存储部中的显影剂的磁体，并且以预定的第二旋转方向旋转驱动。 屏蔽板由非磁性材料制成，并且设置在显影辊和搅拌构件彼此面对的相对位置处。 引导部分在第一旋转方向的上游侧比面对位置更多地设置，并且将显影剂从存储部分引导到显影辊侧。
