Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a body, a transfer member, a transfer unit, a power supply, and an urging member. The transfer member transfers an image onto a transfer medium. The transfer unit is supported to rotate around a support shaft with respect to the body and holds the transfer member. The power supply outputs a transfer bias to be applied to the transfer member. The urging member urges the transfer unit in a direction in which the transfer unit contacts a positioning portion of the body and is a part or all of a power supply path of the transfer bias from the power supply to the transfer member.
