Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transport unit, an image bearing member, a transfer unit, and a detector. The transport unit transports a continuous recording medium. The image bearing member retains an image thereon. The transfer unit has a transfer member that is movable into and out of contact with the image bearing member and transports the recording medium by nipping the recording medium between the image bearing member and the transfer member. The transfer unit transfers the image on the image bearing member onto the recording medium. The detector detects an electrical resistance of the transfer member in a state where the transfer member is disposed at a noncontact position located away from the image bearing member.
