<p>Toner attracted onto an electronic latent image formed on the surface of a photosensitive drum is transferred onto a transfer sheet, using a transfer bias from a transfer bias roller. A transfer belt for transporting the transfer sheet includes an anisotropic conductive layer composed of conductive members and an insulating member. The anisotropic conductive layer is conductive only in the thickness direction thereof and insulating in the other directions. This makes it possible to offer a transfer device that can prevent a transfer electric field from spreading and toner from being projected, and that boasts excellent sheet transportability. <IMAGE></p>
