<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the consumption power associated with an operation to eliminate a deformation tendency of a belt of a electrostatic belt conveyance system. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus equipped with belt driving means for intermittently driving a conveyance belt during power saving comprises a first voltage conversion circuit (conversion circuit A 19a) in which the primary-to-secondary conversion efficiency is approximately maximized during power saving, and a second voltage conversion circuit (conversion circuit A19b) in which the primary-to-secondary conversion efficiency is approximately maximized when the conveyance belt is driven during power saving. During driving the conveyance belt by the belt driving means, power supply control by the first voltage conversion circuit is switched to power supply control by the second voltage conversion circuit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
