Abstract
Provided is an image forming apparatus in which paper is stably transferred from a belt transportation unit on an upstream side to a belt transportation unit on a downstream side. Problems as described above are solved by using the image forming apparatus including a first belt transportation unit, a second belt transportation unit, and a third belt transportation unit that transports a recording medium received from the first belt transportation unit to transfer the recording medium to the second belt transportation unit, in which a diameter of an upstream side pulley of the third belt transportation unit is smaller than a diameter of a downstream side pulley of the first belt transportation unit and a diameter of a downstream side pulley of the third belt transportation unit is smaller than a diameter of an upstream side pulley of the second belt transportation unit.
