<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus having a configuration allowing blocking by solidification of toner without using a complicated or special configuration. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus in which a toner image formed on a latent image carrier is transferred onto a recording medium, and then the recording medium is transported to a fixation device 80 to fix the toner image, comprises: transportation means provided in a transportation path for transporting the recording medium after the transferring toward the fixation device 80; and suction means 78 for sucking and holding the recording medium P during the transportation by the transportation means 75. The suction means 78 is set so that sucking force is greater when the recording medium is not sucked and transported by the transportation means 76 than when it is sucked and transported. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
