Image forming apparatus having a semiconductive transfer belt

摘要

An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a conveyer belt for conveying an image receiving medium toward an image carrier, an image transferring member for electrostatically transferring a developed image formed on the image carrier onto the image receiving medium conveyed by the conveyer belt by applying an electric charge through the back of the conveyer belt, and an adsorbing roller provided on the surface of the conveyer belt facing it for electrostatically adsorbing the image receiving medium to the conveyer belt. The electric resistance of the conveyer belt from a first position where the conveyer belt and the adsorbing roller are facing each other to a second position where the conveyer belt and the image carrier are facing each other is larger than the electric resistance between the image carrier and the image transferring member.
