An image forming apparatus, which uses an electrostatic force to hold a recording medium during conveyance, includes a rotary belt, an image forming mechanism, a driving mechanism, a contact member in contact with the rotary belt, a charging mechanism and a controller. The controller may cause the contact member to be held in contact with the rotary belt, may cause the bias voltage to vary so as to reduce the electrostatic force during a time other than the image forming operation by the image forming mechanism, and may cause the driving mechanism to drive the rotary belt when the contact member is held in contact with the rotary belt.
