Image forming apparatus forming an image on adhesive face of print medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a roll body including a print medium wound around, the medium having an adhesive face, an image forming unit to form an image on the adhesive face, a conveyance unit having a pair of a conveyance rotor and an opposed rotor to convey the medium with the medium interposed between the conveyance rotor and the opposed rotor and an adhesive face guide unit to guide the medium when the conveyance unit returns the medium in a return direction opposite a conveyance direction of the medium. The adhesive face guide unit has a downstream rotor disposed downstream from the opposed rotor in the return direction and an endless adhesive face guide member wound around the opposed rotor and the downstream rotor. The adhesive face guide member is configured to receive and guide the adhesive face of the medium returned, in a separable state.

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a roll body including a print medium wound around, the print medium having an adhesive face; an image forming unit to form an image on the adhesive face of the print medium; and a conveyance unit to convey the print medium to a position at which the print medium opposes the image forming unit, with the adhesive face placed as a front face side of the print medium, wherein the conveyance unit has a pair of a conveyance rotor and an opposed rotor to convey the print medium with the print medium interposed between the conveyance rotor and the opposed rotor and an adhesive face guide unit to guide the print medium when the conveyance unit returns the print medium in a return direction opposite a conveyance direction of the print medium, the adhesive face guide unit has a downstream rotor disposed downstream from the opposed rotor in the return direction and an endless adhesive face guide member wound around the opposed rotor and the downstream rotor, and the endless adhesive face guide member is configured to receive and guide the adhesive face of the print medium returned, in a separable state, and wherein the downstream rotor has a smaller diameter than the opposed rotor.
