Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a first roller and a second roller spaced apart from the first roller, a belt being endless and extending around the first roller and the second roller, a photosensitive member, a transfer member, and a conductor. The belt is configured to move in a moving direction. The belt has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface extends from the first roller to the second roller in the moving direction, and the second surface extends from the second roller to the first roller in the moving direction. The photosensitive member is disposed facing the first surface of the belt and configured to carry a developer image thereon. The transfer member is disposed facing toward the photosensitive member and configured to transfer the developer image on the photosensitive member. The conductor is electrically grounded and disposed facing the second surface of the belt.
