Image forming device and recording intermediate belt mounting jig

摘要

A recording intermediate belt 15 which is made endless so as to travels around a continuous path has image formation areas and non-image formation areas alternately provided on an outer surface thereof. Images of different colors are sequentially formed in the image formation areas by recording heads 21b through 23b respectively provided in first through third image formation sections 21 through 23. The recording heads 21b through 23b of the first through third image formation sections 21 through 23 are separated from each other by a distance which is greater than a length of an image formation area in a traveling direction of the recording intermediate belt 15. The recording heads 21b through 23b are each pressed onto the recording intermediate belt 15 in a non-image formation area immediately preceding an image formation area and starts an image formation operation. The image formation operation is stopped when the recording heads 21b through 23b each face a non-image formation area immediately subsequent to the image formation area. Thus, a clear full-color image can be formed with the image formed in each image formation section being free from color non-uniformity.
