Abstract:
An intermediate transfer device includes an endless-belt-form intermediate transfer material; a first moving member that is movable between a first position-1 and a second position-1, which is farther from the intermediate transfer material than the first position-1; a second moving member that is movable between a first position-2 and a second position-2, which is farther from the intermediate transfer material than the first position-2; a first tension applying member; a second tension applying member; and a third tension applying member that applies tension to the intermediate transfer material when at least either the first moving member is moved to the second position-1 or the second moving member is moved to the second position-2, and that is separated from the intermediate transfer material when the first moving member is in the first position-1 and the second moving member is in the first position-2.
