<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce noise by setting a paper sheet carrying speed at a paper sheet carrying section to a low speed only at a desired time without setting a printing speed to a low one constantly in an image forming device. <P>SOLUTION: A resist roller 5 sends out a paper sheet P toward a transfer section 8 for transferring a toner image to the paper sheet P in synchronization with the toner image formed by an image formation section 30. A paper sheet carrying section 20 is provided at the upstream side in the paper sheet carrying direction of the resist roller 5. A carrying roller 21 is provided near the resist roller 5 at the paper sheet carrying section 20. A carrying roller drive means 22 can rotate the carrying roller 21 at a plurality of surface speeds. At an operation section 40, an operator can select a paper sheet carrying speed at the paper sheet carrying section 20 arbitrarily on a paper sheet carrying speed setting screen 103. A control section 50 controls the carrying roller drive means 22 for switching the surface speed of the carrying roller 21, based on the paper sheet carrying speed selected by the operation section 40. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
