<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus constituted to prevent trouble such as image failure caused by soiling by toner and the adhesion of carrier to a photoreceptor even when emergency stop for paper jamming or the like occurs. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is provided with a plurality of photoreceptors, developing means corresponding to the photoreceptors, an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image on the photoreceptor developed by the developing means is primarily transferred, a plurality of primary transfer means arranged corresponding to the photoreceptors so that respective primary transfer images are superposed every time the toner images on a plurality of photoreceptors are transferred to the intermediate transfer body, and a secondary transfer means for secondarily transferring the primary transfer image on the intermediate transfer body to transfer material. In the image forming apparatus, the intermediate transfer body is rotated for a fixed time from the instant an abnormality such as the paper jamming occurs and the emergency stop is done. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
