<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of removing a residual toner completely without leaving it even if irregularities exist on the back surface of an intermediate transfer belt. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus transferring a toner image transferred from an image carrier to the intermediate transfer belt 11 to a recording sheet to form an image includes: a conductive cleaning member 91 which is arranged outside the revolving path of the intermediate transfer belt 11 and comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the intermediate transfer belt 11 to remove the residual toner on the transfer belt 11; a driven roller 13 which is arranged in the revolving path and in a position facing the cleaning member 91 across the intermediate transfer belt 11 and comes into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the intermediate transfer belt 11; and a power supply 96 which applies a voltage to the cleaning member 91 and the opposing member to electrically attract the residual toner to the cleaning member 91. An elastic member 13b is formed at the surface of the driven roller 13 coming into contact with the intermediate transfer belt 11. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
