Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a chassis; an image carrier on whose surface a toner image is formed; a transfer roller configured to transfer the toner image formed on the image carrier onto to a recording medium and including a roller shaft and a transfer roller main body; a frame disposed inside the chassis; a transfer-roller supporting part configured to support the transfer roller and to move the transfer roller to a contact position and a spacing position; a terminal member configured to contact an end surface of the roller shaft and supply a voltage; and a terminal supporting member configured to rotatably support the terminal member with respect to the frame, wherein the terminal member rotates while following the movement of the transfer roller between the contact position and the spacing position, and wherein the terminal member maintains a contact state with the end surface of the roller shaft.
