PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which suppresses a medium having high rigidity entering a transfer zone from jumping up even when transporting the medium at a high speed.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus (U) includes a guide member (6) that is disposed upstream of a transport direction of a medium (S) relative to a transfer zone (Q4) where a transfer device (T2) and an image carrier (B) face each other, and guides a surface of the medium (S) on the image carrier (B) side, the medium being transported to the transfer zone (Q4). A downstream end of the guide member (6) in the transport direction of the medium (S) is configured to have lower rigidity than an upstream end of the guide member (6) in the transport direction of the medium (S) to allow the downstream end to move toward the image carrier (B) side when a trailing edge of the medium (S) passes through the guide member (6). |
