<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming technique for eliminating or reducing gloss unevenness when fixing a toner image. <P>SOLUTION: When receiving operational input to instruct printing of a full solid image, a control part performs printing of the full solid image according to the operational input. To put it concretely, the control part allows at least one of image forming units 1a to 1d to form the full solid image, and controls to form the formed toner image on a transfer belt 10 and to fix the formed toner image on transfer material by a fixing device 11. Then, the control part controls to eject paper, which has been printed, to an ejection tray 80. After printing the full solid image, residual toner adhering to the entire fixing belt 11c is cleaned by a toner cleaning unit 25, whereby the residual toner on the fixing belt 11c is flattened. As a result, the gloss unevenness in next printing is eliminated or reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
