<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device that prevents a continuous recording medium, which is thicker than a predetermined thickness, from being deflected near a transfer position, to prevent the toner from scattering near the transfer position. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming device is configured to form an electrostatic latent image on an image carrier whose surface is uniformly charged, to develop the electrostatic latent image as a toner image by use of toner to be charged in the same polarity as a charging unit, to apply a bias of a polarity opposite to the toner image by use of a transfer unit, and to transfer the toner image from the image carrier to a continuous recording medium when the continuous recording medium that is seamlessly continued passes through the image carrier and the transfer unit. The image forming device includes a member disposed on the downstream of the transfer unit on a conveyance path of the continuous recording medium, and control means for controlling the motion of the member. The control means controls the member to press the continuous recording medium passing through the transfer unit in a predetermined direction, to apply tension to level the continuous recording medium passing through the image carrier and the transfer unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
