<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the capacity of a drive motor of a pair of reverse rotation rollers by reducing transfer resistance at the time of feeding a sheet from a reverse rotation transfer path by a pair of the reverse rotation rollers. <P>SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus with a sheet reverse rotation means for reversing a surface and a rear face of the sheet has a pair of reverse rotation rollers for switch backing the sheet, and a reverse rotation transfer path for transferring the sheet fed by the pair of the reverse rotation rollers. The reverse rotation transfer path has a direction changing portion for changing the transfer direction of the sheet, and a plurality of rotatable rollers are located inside the direction changing portion seen from the sheet transfer direction. The image forming apparatus feeds the sheet to be fed to the reverse rotation transfer path while contacting the rollers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
