Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a belt, a cleaning member, a backup member, a pressing-force changing mechanism, and a control unit. The cleaning member is disposed in confrontation with the belt. The backup member is disposed to pinch the belt in cooperation with the cleaning member. The pressing-force changing mechanism is configured to change a pressing force acting between the cleaning member and the belt in a state in which the cleaning member is in contact with the belt. The control unit controls the pressing-force changing mechanism to change the pressing force.
