Transport device and image forming apparatus

Abstract

A transport device includes: a pair of registration rollers that transport a recording medium to a transfer part at a predetermined timing; a pair of transport rollers that are provided upstream of the pair of registration rollers in a recording-medium transport direction and transport the recording medium toward the pair of registration rollers that are not rotated; a first guide part that is provided downstream of the pair of transport rollers in the recording-medium transport direction and guides the recording medium to the pair of registration rollers; a second guide part that is provided downstream of the pair of registration rollers in the recording-medium transport direction and guides the recording medium to the transfer part; a position changing mechanism that changes positions of the first guide part and the second guide part according to a type of the recording medium; and a pressure changing mechanism that changes a contact pressure between the pair of transport rollers in conjunction with the first guide part that has been moved by the position changing mechanism.
