An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier for carrying an image, and a transfer medium bearing member for bearing and conveying a transfer medium to a transfer unit of said image carrier. The transfer medium bearing member is able to bear multiple transfer media concurrently. The apparatus includes transfer device for transferring the image of the image carrier onto the transfer medium borne on the transfer medium bearing member in the transfer unit, and a plurality of transfer media capable of being borne on the transfer medium bearing member concurrently, wherein in consecutively transferring the image onto the transfer media of the number not divisible by the maximum sheet bearing number by which said transfer medium bearing member is capable of bearing the transfer media concurrently. The number of transfer media that the transfer medium bearing member concurrently bears at the n-th time where n is a natural number equal to or greater than two, is not less than the number of transfer media that it bears concurrently at the n-1-th time. In transferring the image consecutively as above, the number of sheets that the transfer medium bearing member concurrently bears at the final time is greater than the number of transfer media that the transfer medium bearing member concurrently bears at the first time.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing an image, a rotatable recording material bearing member for bearing a recording material and conveying the recording material to a transfer station, the image formed on the image bearing member being transferred onto the recording material born on the recording material bearing member at the transfer station, and a cleaning means capable of being contacted with a surface of the recording material bearing member to clean the surface of the recording material bearing member at a cleaning station. When a length (L1) of a recording material born on the recording material bearing member in a rotational direction of the recording material bearing member is greater than a distance (L2) from the transfer station to the cleaning station along the rotational direction of the recording material bearing member, after the image is transferred onto the recording material born on the recording material bearing member, the recording material is conveyed to the transfer station again.

An image forming apparatus includes a movable image bearing means, an image forming device for forming an image on the image bearing member, an image receiving material bearing member for carrying and conveying an image receiving material to an image transfer station where the image formed by the image forming device is transferred from the image bearing member to the image receiving material, an image transfer device disposed at the transfer station in opposition to the image bearing device, a discharger, disposed downstream of the image transfer device with respect to the movement direction of the image receiving material and in opposition to the image receiving material carrying member, and operative when a trailing edge of the image receiving material is substantially immediately before a transfer zone by the image transfer device or when it is in the transfer zone, during the period when the image receiving material is conveyed by the image receiving material carrying member.
摘要:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus comprising an image bearing member, and a recording material bearing member for bearing a recording material to convey the recording material to a transfer station where an image is transferred from the image bearing member onto the recording material borne on the recording material bearing member. The recording material bearing member is capable of bearing a plurality of recording materials simultaneously at different positions thereon. The images can be successively transferred onto first and second surfaces of each recording material, and, when images are formed on the second surfaces of the plurality of recording materials, during a time period in which an area of the recording material bearing member with which the first surface of the recording material was previously contacted is passing through at least the transfer position without bearing the recording material, a spacer particle layer is formed between the image bearing member and the area.
