Abstract
A transfer device for an image forming apparatus includes a frame, a driving roller, a backup roller, and a transfer belt to travel between the driving roller and the backup roller. The transfer device further include meandering prevention members to rotate independently of the backup roller, the meandering prevention members including a first meandering prevention member located between a first end portion of the backup roller and the frame, and a second meandering prevention member located between a second end portion of the backup roller and the frame. When the transfer belt meanders and contacts one of the first and second meandering prevention members, the one of the first and second meandering prevention members is to be rotatably driven to increase a tension of the transfer belt.
