<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in the recording material transfer quality and the image quality caused by the relative positions not precise enough between the image transfer unit and the fixing unit by improving the relative position precision while meeting the recent requirements for the cost reductions of image forming devices. <P>SOLUTION: After the image on the intermediate transfer component (image carrier) 7A is transferred to the paper (recording material) 11 passing through the transfer position P in the image transfer unit 50, the transfer image is fixed in the fixing unit 30 when it passes the fixing nip N. In the image forming device, a contact portion 55 is formed in the transfer unit and a flange 56 in the fixing unit, and a relative position adjustment mechanism A is provided to position the relative position of the fixing unit and the transfer unit by making the contact portion contact the flange, and a fine adjusting means is also provided to finely adjust the parallelism of the transfer position and the fixing nip. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
