Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming an image by applying a toner on a recording medium by means of an electrostatic force has a belt-like recording medium comprising a laminated layer region. The laminated layer region includes (1) a conductive layer, (2) a surface insulating layer disposed on said conductive layer and having a conductive-layer region in which a portion of the conductive layer is exposed from the surface insulating layer, and (3) a protective layer comprising conductive particles dispersed in resin provided on a surface of the exposed conductive-layer region. Support structure is provided for stretching the belt-like recording medium. A driving source is also included for driving the belt-like recording medium. A conductive contact is provided for rubbing the exposed conductive-layer region, and a wiring member is provided for connecting the conductive contact to a biasing source.
