A transfer device includes a transport belt that contacts with a photoreceptor, and transports a recording medium; a transfer roll that transfers the toner image formed on a surface of the photoreceptor to the recording medium while pressing the recording medium to the photoreceptor through the transport belt; an adjusting unit that adjusts a pressing force of the transfer roll against the recording medium; and a controller that controls the adjusting unit so that a first pressing force is stronger than a second pressing force. The first pressing force is the pressing force after the recording medium starts to pass through a transfer position of the transfer roll and is moved by a predetermined distance. The second pressing force is the pressing force when the recording medium starts to pass through the transfer position.

This application is based on and claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-030082 filed Feb. 19, 2016.
The present invention relates to a transfer device, a non-transitory computer readable medium, an image forming apparatus, and a transfer method.
According to an aspect of the invention, a transfer device includes:
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the following figures, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an image forming apparatus;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an example of a transporting state of paper in a case where a pressing force of a transfer roll against a photoreceptor is weakened;
Hereinafter, embodiments for realizing the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are used for constituent elements performing the same operations and functions in all of the drawings and the description will be omitted for the overlapped parts.
Overall Configuration
First, a configuration of an image forming apparatus 10 according to the exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The image forming apparatus 10 includes an image forming apparatus main body 12, and a paper feeding unit 14 in which plural sheets of paper P which is an example of a recording medium are laminated and accommodated in a bundle form, in a lower portion of the image forming apparatus main body 12.
