An image forming apparatus has an image retaining body which is supported so as to be able to move endlessly, a transfer means which is installed at a specific distance away from the surface of the image retaining body or in contact with the surface of the image retaining body, and a paper guide which is installed upstream and downstream, of or at least upstream or downstream the transfer means along the moving direction of the image retaining body for guiding a sheet of paper between the image retaining body and the transfer means and for pressing the paper onto the surface of the image retaining body. The image forming apparatus is equipped with an adjusting means for adjusting the distance between the paper guide means and the transfer means along the moving direction of the image retaining body, thereby varying the length of the paper wound onto the image retaining body.
