Abstract
A belt conveyance device includes an endless belt, first and second stretching rollers to stretch the belt, a steering roller tiltably supported and to stretch the belt, a steering mechanism to tilt the steering roller in a direction where a change of a position of the belt in a widthwise direction is cancelled, and an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism is capable of adjusting an inclination angle in a rotational axis direction of the second stretching roller relative to the rotational axis direction of the first stretching roller. At least during a transferring operation when toner is transferred onto the belt, the second stretching roller is capable of being adjusted by the adjusting mechanism so that the inclination angle becomes a predetermined angle and then is held so that the inclination angle is not changed.
