Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transfer unit that comes into contact with a target object and that transfers an image to the target object, a holding portion that holds the target object including a circumferential surface such that the circumferential surface rotates along a transfer direction of the transfer unit, and a transport unit that transports the target object held by the holding portion along a transport route, that stops transportation of the target object in a case where the transfer unit transfers the image to the target object, and that causes the target object to be separated from the transfer unit before a surface of the target object on which transfer of the image is finished comes into contact with the transfer unit again.
Claims6
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a transfer unit that comes into contact with a target object and that transfers an image to the target object;
- a holding portion that holds the target object including a circumferential surface such that the circumferential surface rotates along a transfer direction of the transfer unit;
- and
- a transport unit that transports the target object held by the holding portion along a transport route, that stops transportation of the target object in a case where the transfer unit transfers the image to the target object, and that causes the target object to be separated from the transfer unit before a surface of the target object on which transfer of the image is finished comes into contact with the transfer unit again.
