Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording medium whose image formation surface has electric conductivity; a transfer unit that makes contact with the image formation surface of the recording medium transported by the transport unit and transfers an image formed with particles onto the image formation surface by an electric field formed between the transfer unit and the image formation surface; and a support unit that has electric conductivity, supports the recording medium so as to be conductive with the image formation surface of the recording medium, and is transported to the transfer unit together with the recording medium by the transport unit.
Claims9
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a recording medium whose image formation surface has electric conductivity;
- a transfer unit that makes contact with the image formation surface of the recording medium transported by the transport unit and transfers an image formed with particles onto the image formation surface by an electric field formed between the transfer unit and the image formation surface;
- and
- a support unit that has electric conductivity, supports the recording medium so as to be conductive with the image formation surface of the recording medium, and is transported to the transfer unit together with the recording medium by the transport unit.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- transport means for transporting a recording medium whose image formation surface has electric conductivity;
- transfer means for making contact with the image formation surface of the recording medium transported by the transport means and transferring an image formed with particles onto the image formation surface by an electric field formed between the transfer means and the image formation surface;
- and
- support means that has electric conductivity, is for supporting the recording medium so as to be conductive with the image formation surface of the recording medium, and is transported to the transfer means together with the recording medium by the transport means.
