Abstract
An image forming device includes an image forming unit, a roller unit, a static elimination brush, a moving unit, and a control unit. The static elimination brush eliminates static electricity of the printing medium. The moving unit moves the static elimination brush between a first position that does not intersect a first conveyance path on a downstream side of the roller unit in the conveyance path and a second position that intersects the first conveyance path. The control unit controls the moving unit during the conveyance of the printing medium, positions the static elimination brush at a position different from the second position until a front end of the printing medium passes an intersection position at which the static elimination brush and the first conveyance path intersect if the static elimination brush is positioned at the second position, and moves the static elimination brush to the second position after the front end of the printing medium passes the intersection position until a rear end of the printing medium passes the intersection position.
