摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, an intermediate transfer belt is made of a resin film and is supported by a plurality of rollers. A driving roller that is one of the plurality of rollers, drives the intermediate transfer belt, and also functions as an opposing unit with respect to a secondary transfer roller. The driving roller is made of metal, and applies a bias to at least secondary transfer units, at least at a time of performing primary transfer to a plurality of image bearing bodies.
摘要:
An image forming unit includes four photoconductors, a belt extended around a driving roller and an extension-cum-primary transfer roller. Three primary transfer rollers sandwich the belt in association with a corresponding photoconductor. The extension-cum-primary transfer roller serves both as an extension roller and a primary transfer roller.

A transfer apparatus and an image forming apparatus capable of transferring an image satisfactorily using developing agent are disclosed. A transfer system includes photosensitive drums corresponding to the respective colors arranged along the outer peripheral surface of a transfer belt and intermediate transfer rollers arranged offset downstream side from the respective photosensitive drums for applying a transfer field to the respective photosensitive drums. The transfer belt is configured of a material such as polyimide or polycarbonate in which a surge current of not less than a specified value flows immediately after application of a transfer voltage.

A transfer device has primary transfer rollers supported so as to be upwardly and downwardly movable within a path of movement and opposed to respective of photosensitive drums across a portion of an intermediate transfer belt. There are also provided a slide member for full-color image formation and a slide member for monochromatic image formation, which are capable of reciprocation in a horizontal direction. The transfer device includes roller lifting means each L-shaped and each having one end supporting an associated one of the transfer rollers for rotation and another end engaging an associated one of the slide members, and first and second coaxial rotating cams. The transfer device is capable of switching between three paths of movement of the intermediate transfer belt selectively by the first and second rotating cams rotating together.
