PCT No. PCT/JP94/02271 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 27, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/18402 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 6, 1995An image forming apparatus includes an endless belt-shaped photosensitive member laid across a drive roller and a plurality of guide rollers and caused to undergo endless traveling, wherein there is used a solidified developer which is solid at an ordinary temperature but is brought into a molten state by implementing a heating processing thereto, and is re-solidified by implementing a cooling treatment thereto. An image preparation process section is disposed at the outer circumferential portion of the drive roller of large diameter, and a recording sheet contact roller and a recording sheet peeling roller which constitute guide rollers are disposed at an upper part of the drive roller so as to mutually constitute the same plane to travel the endless belt-shaped photosensitive member in a horizontal direction. A recording sheet is delivered from a recording sheet supply section and is caused to come into pressure contact with the surface of the endless belt-shaped photosensitive member traveling in the horizontal direction by the recording sheet's own rigidity. When the recording sheet is caused to undergo transfer of a developer image formed on the surface of the endless belt-shaped photosensitive member and is cooled by suitable element means, it is naturally peeled from the endless belt-shaped photosensitive member at a recording sheet peeling roller portion. Thus, a high accuracy transfer image free from image collapse or image flow, etc. can be obtained, and a compact structure and improvement in workability of maintenance, etc. can be realized.
