PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which ensures high both-sided image productivity and is compact. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of first image carriers 10Y, 10C, 10M, and 10BK on which toner images of different colors are formed; an endless first image carrier belt 11 on which the toner images formed on the first image carriers are superimposed and transferred by a first primary transfer roller 6; a plurality of second image carriers 30Y, 30C, 30M, and 30BK on which toner images of different colors are formed; an endless second image carrier belt 31 on which the toner images formed on the second image carriers are superimposed and transferred by the second primary transfer roller 6; a first secondary transfer roller 17 by which the image held on the first image carrier belt is transferred to one side of a recording medium; a second secondary transfer charger 37 by which the image held on the second image carrier belt is transferred to the other side of the recording medium; and a fixing means 26 by which the image transferred to the recording medium is fixed to the recording medium. The first image carrier belt 11 and the second image carrier belt 31 have the same shape. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
