PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a printing cycle by setting a cycle that an intermediate transfer body is rotated as many as the number of toner images, as the printing cycle. SOLUTION: By four rotation of the intermediate transfer body 5, four toner images are superposed on the transfer body 5. Then, the superposed toner images are transferred on a transfer body 26 by one continuous rotation of the transfer body 5 and fixed. Thus, a printed result is outputted by one printing cycle + one rotation of the transfer body 5 by an image forming device 1 as for a first sheet. However, the printing cycle of the second continuous sheet is started and the toner image for cyan is formed during one rotation of the transfer body 5 that the toner image is transferred on the transfer body 26. Then, the toner image for cyan is transferred on the transfer body 5 obtained immediately after a transfer action and a cleaning action are finished. Thus, since the printed result is outputted by the printing cycle that the transfer body 5 is rotated four times as for the second and subsequent continuous sheets, the printing cycle is can be made as short as the above mentioned action. |
