<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce damages to a fixing device by preventing a consecutive recording material from rushing into the fixing device when a jam occurs in the fixing device. <P>SOLUTION: When a jam of a recording material in the fixing device 66 is detected, the fixing device is stopped, while a photoreceptor drum 51, an intermediate transfer belt 57 are continuously driven. However, the image forming actions on the photoreceptor drum 51, i.e., a charging, an exposure, a development and a primary transferring or the like are stopped. Further, the output at the time of transferring of a secondary transferring roller 63 is continued and the discharging output of a first discharging member 64 is stopped. Thus, a recording material P next to the jammed recording material P is not separated from the intermediate transfer belt 57, but sucked on the the intermediate transfer belt 57, and arrives at the position at which the second discharging material 71 exists. The recording material P is separated from the intermediate transfer belt 57 by the second discharging material 71. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
